Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. pisi (FoP) is a fungal plant pathogen infecting peas, endemic to Moldova. Currently, it has been detected in almost all regions where peas are grown ^[1] and can be distinguished into 4 races: race 1, race 2, race 5 and race 6. Often when infecting peas, FoP infects in tandem with other Fusarium species, Aphanomyces euteiches and various other root infecting fungi and oomycetes to cause root rot symptoms^[2]. FoP infects its pea host through the roots to enter the vascular system of the host.

The resistance of peas to FOP is either determined by a single gene for races 1, 5 and 6, or is determined by multiple genes for race 2.^[3][4]
