Journal ArticleDOI
Fusarium oxysporum: exploring the molecular arsenal of a vascular wilt fungus
TL;DR: Vascular wilt fungus causes severe losses on most vegetables and flowers, several field cropssuch as cotton and tobacco, plantation crops such as banana, plantain, coffee and sugarcane, and a few shade trees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fusarium oxysporum as a Multihost Model for the Genetic Dissection of Fungal Virulence in Plants and Mammals
Montserrat Ortoneda,Josep Guarro,Marta P. Madrid,Zaira Caracuel,M. Isabel G. Roncero,Emilio Mayayo,Antonio Di Pietro +6 more
TL;DR: A dual plant-animal infection system based on a single strain of Fusarium oxysporum, the causal agent of vascular wilt disease in plants and an emerging opportunistic human pathogen, can be used to study fungal virulence mechanisms in plant and mammalian pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fusarium as a model for studying virulence in soilborne plant pathogens
M. Isabel G. Roncero,Concepción Hera,Manuel Ruiz-Rubio,Fe I. Garcı́a Maceira,Marta P. Madrid,Zaira Caracuel,Fernando Calero,Jesús Delgado-Jarana,Raquel Roldán-Rodríguez,Ana Lilia Martínez-Rocha,C. Velasco,Juan Carlos Roa,Magdalena Martin-Urdiroz,Dolores Córdoba,Antonio Di Pietro +14 more
TL;DR: Key aspects discussed include plant-fungus signalling, degradation of the plant cell wall, resistance to plant antifungal compounds, production of phytotoxins and role of transposable elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of chitin synthase genes in Fusarium oxysporum.
TL;DR: The chitin synthase mutants constructed through targeted gene disruption by homologous recombination will be useful for elucidating cell wall biogenesis in F. oxysporum and the relationship between fungal cell wall integrity and pathogenicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fusarium oxysporum gas1 encodes a putative beta-1,3-glucanosyltransferase required for virulence on tomato plants
Zaira Caracuel,Ana Lilia Martínez-Rocha,Antonio Di Pietro,Marta P. Madrid,M. Isabel G. Roncero +4 more
TL;DR: The deltagas1 mutants showed dramatically reduced virulence on tomato, both in a root infection assay and in a fruit tissue-invasion model, thus providing the first evidence for an essential role of fungal beta-1,3-glucanosyltransferases during plant infection.
