(2n = 2x = 14) one of the oldest seed spices, is assumed to be an inhabitant from the east Mediterranean to east India and economically most important spices after black pepper. It is popularly being used as spice for their distinct aroma and is used to add in other food preparations. Production constrains due to quite a few biotic stresses of which wilt disease are the most severe caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cumini. The aim of this research was to elucidate the molecular mechanism underpinning the defence related genes conferring wilt resistance in cumin, which constitutes an important step forward for progression and suitable intervention stratagem.en-USnullThesis
