Pathogens and hosts are in an ongoing arms race and genes involved in host-pathogen interactions are likely to undergo diversifying selection. Fusarium plant pathogens have evolved diverse infection strategies, but how they interact with their hosts in the biotrophic infection stage remains puzzling. To address this, we analyzed the genomes of three Fusarium plant pathogens for genes that are u...

Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. Lycopersici is one of the major obstacles to the production of tomato which causes huge losses in tomato products worldwide. In order to increase the tolerance to this disease, a triple structure containing PR1, chitinase and glucanase genes controlled by 35S promoter was transferred to tomato. Eight days after planting on pre-culture me...

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, Verticillium spp., and nematodes, as well virus diseases that negatively affect production with limited chemical control cause significant losses in greenhouse tomato cultivation. The practical effective side of controlling is genetic by breeding. Using a genomic approach for plant breeding more sustainable way to disease pests. development the resistant l...

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is the most consumed vegetable in world after potato. In Cameroon, plant cultivated almost all agroecological areas, however, yields remain low due to attacks by various pathogens and insects. Among pathogens, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (FOL) a phytopathogenic fungus responsible for wilt, disease enormous economic losses. To contribute control of...

Medicinal herbs are the potential sources for antimicrobial compounds against soil-borne pathogens. The present investigation focuses on assessing efficacy of antifungal activity volatile organic (VOCs) produced by seven different medicinal in suppression F. oxysporum f.sp. lycopercisi, causal agent wilt disease tomato plants. Among samples tested in-vitro, blend VOCs emitted from mint (Mentha ...

fusarium wilt caused by fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici is one of the major obstacles to the production of tomato which causes huge losses in tomato products worldwide. in order to increase the tolerance to this disease, a triple structure containing pr1, chitinase and glucanase genes controlled by 35s promoter was transferred to tomato. eight days after planting on pre-culture medium, exp...

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an important vegetable crop worldwide. Often times, its production is hindered by fungal diseases. Important fungal diseases limiting tomato production are late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, early blight, caused by Alternaria solanii, and septoria leaf spot, caused by Septoria lycopersici, fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporium fsp. oxysporium, ...
