Mechanisms Underlying the Pathogenic and Endophytic Lifestyles in Diaporthe: An Omics-Based Approach

The genus Diaporthe encompasses important plant pathogens, endophytes, and saprobes that are widely distributed in tropical temperate regions. An accurate detection identification of pathogens not only allows correct disease diagnosis but also increases the accuracy taxonomic ambiguities for fungal-plant interactions purposes. Multi-omics approaches applied to this may represent valuable tools unravel molecular mechanisms involved infection processes. Additionally, omics can provide adaptation patterns make thrive under changing environmental conditions, insights into dual pathogen-endophyte lifestyle. Therefore, all published data covered literature review represents an contribution deepen knowledge on importance interactions. This accumulating evidence will speed up research formulating new strategies control pathologies, assist exploitation endophytes their function hosts, underline factors fungal pathogenicity endophytism Diaporthe.
