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.

TL;DR: The sti35 promoter represents a useful tool for the controlled expression of genes of interest in F. oxysporum and reveals the presence of differential RNA splicing of the second 5'-UTR intron, suggesting that thiamine may regulate sti 35 expression via a post-transcriptional mechanism.

Accumulation of cell wall-bound phenolic metabolites and their upliftment in hairy root cultures of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)
TL;DR: Alkaline hydrolysis of cell wall material of tomato hairy roots yielded ferulic acid as the major phenolic compound and FME may thus be used for inducing resistance against Fusarium oxysporum f.

Influence of the chloride channel of Fusarium oxysporum on extracellular laccase activity and virulence on tomato plants.
TL;DR: The pleiotropic phenotype displayed by the Fusarium chloride channel-deficient mutants included a significant delay in the development of disease on tomato plants, with a higher sensitivity to oxidative stress compounds as well as a significant decrease in laccase activity, thus suggesting a possible connection between virulence and the two processes.
