TLDR
More than 120 different formae speciales have been identified based on specificity to host species belonging to a wide range of plant families as mentioned in this paper, which can cause severe losses in many vegetables and flowers, field crops, such as cotton, and plantation crops such as banana, date palm and oil palm.Abstract:
Taxonomy: Kingdom Fungi; Phylum Ascomycota; Class Sordariomycetes; Order Hypocreales; Family Nectriaceae; genus Fusarium. Host range: Very broad at the species level. More than 120 different formae speciales have been identified based on specificity to host species belonging to a wide range of plant families. Disease symptoms: Initial symptoms of vascular wilt include vein clearing and leaf epinasty, followed by stunting, yellowing of the lower leaves, progressive wilting, defoliation and, finally, death of the plant. On fungal colonization, the vascular tissue turns brown, which is clearly visible in cross-sections of the stem. Some formae speciales are not primarily vascular pathogens, but cause foot and root rot or bulb rot. Economic importance: Can cause severe losses in many vegetables and flowers, field crops, such as cotton, and plantation crops, such as banana, date palm and oil palm. Control: Use of resistant varieties is the only practical measure for controlling the disease in the field. In glasshouses, soil sterilization can be performed.

The pqqC gene is essential for antifungal activity of Pseudomonas kilonensis JX22 against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici.
TL;DR: Antifungal activity at the wild-type level was restored from the mutant JX22MT1 with the introduction of the functional pqqC gene, which encodes pyrroloquinoline-quinone synthesis protein C. lycopersici.

Live-cell imaging of the early stages of colony development in Fusarium oxysporum in vitro and ex vivo during infection of a human corneal model
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method to solve the problem of "uniformity" and "uncertainty" in the context of broadcast broadcast, and it works well.

Insights into the Role of the Fungal Community in Variations of the Antibiotic Resistome in the Soil Collembolan Gut Microbiome.
TL;DR: In this paper, a microcosm experiment was conducted to investigate differences of effects of different fertilizers on collembolan gut ARG profiles and to further explore the microecological mechanisms that cause the differences.

Verticillium alfalfae and V . dahliae , Agents of Verticillium Wilt Diseases
TL;DR: The V. alfalfae and V. dahliae genomes have been sequenced, and are among the smaller genomes from filamentous ascomycetes and the number of predicted protein-encoding genes is similar to the saprobe Neurospora crassa.

Current Status of the Gene-For-Gene Concept
TL;DR: The gene-for-gene hypothesis suggests that for each gene that conditions reaction in the host there is a correspond ing gene in the parasite that conditions pathogenicity.

Fungal laccases - occurrence and properties.
TL;DR: The fact that laccases only require molecular oxygen for catalysis makes them suitable for biotechnological applications for the transformation or immobilization of xenobiotic compounds.

Multiple evolutionary origins of the fungus causing Panama disease of banana: Concordant evidence from nuclear and mitochondrial gene genealogies
TL;DR: Testing whether lineages of the Panama disease pathogen have a monophyletic origin by comparing DNA sequences of nuclear and mitochondrial genes indicates Panama disease of banana is caused by fungi with independent evolutionary origins.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the antagonistic interactions between multiple components of ABA and the JA-ethylene signaling pathways modulate defense and stress responsive gene expression in response to biotic and abiotic stresses.
