Weevil Borers Affect the Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of Banana Fusarium Wilt. [PDF]
Dispersal of propagules of a pathogen has remarkable effects on the development of epidemics. Previous studies suggested that insect pests play a role in the development of Fusarium wilt (FW) epidemics in banana fields. We provided complementary evidence for the involvement of two insect pests of banana, the weevil borer (Cosmopolites sordidus L., WB ...

Modulating Surfactin Biosynthesis in Bacillus subtilis R31 Enhances Behavioural Traits and Biocontrol Efficacy Against Banana Fusarium Wilt [PDF]
This study demonstrates that the production of surfactin by B. subtilis R31 needs to be balanced. Excessive surfactin will weaken the colonisation ability and disease control effect of the strain. By targeting the regulation of the surfactin signalling pathway, synthetic microbial communities can be designed for sustainable disease control.

Impact of Soil Chemical Attributes on the Behavior and Spread of Fusarium Oxysporum in Date Palm [PDF]
Mechanisms by which soil elements affect disease expression. ABSTRACT Fusarium wilt of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis, continues to threaten oases across the Maghreb. However, the disease has failed to establish in Southeastern Algeria, despite the ongoing movement of potentially contaminated plant ...
