Verticillium Systematics and Evolution: How Confusion Impedes Verticillium Wilt Management and How to Resolve It

Complete mitochondrial genome of the Verticillium-wilt causing plant pathogen Verticillium nonalfalfae

Verticillium nonalfalfae is a fungal plant pathogen that causes wilt disease by colonizing the vascular tissues of host plants. The disease induced by hop isolates of V. nonalfalfae manifests in two different forms, ranging from mild symptoms to complete plant dieback, caused by mild and lethal pathotypes, respectively. Pathogenicity variations between the causal strains have been attributed to...

Verticillium Wilt of Spinach: Detection, Biology and Control

Desirable Traits of a Good Biocontrol Agent against Verticillium Wilt

The soil-borne fungus Verticillium causes serious vascular disease in a wide variety of annual crops and woody perennials. Verticillium wilt is notoriously difficult to control by conventional methods, so there is great potential for biocontrol to manage this disease. In this study we aimed to review the research about Verticillium biocontrol to get a better understanding of characteristics tha...

Genetic dissection of Verticillium wilt resistance mediated by tomato Ve1.

Vascular wilt diseases caused by soil-borne pathogens are among the most devastating plant diseases worldwide. The Verticillium genus includes vascular wilt pathogens with a wide host range. Although V. longisporum infects various hosts belonging to the Cruciferaceae, V. dahliae and V. albo-atrum cause vascular wilt diseases in over 200 dicotyledonous species, including economically important c...
