Botanical treatment enhances biochemical responses in enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) clones

JSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 236-247, June 2026.
Abstract Background Bacterial wilt of enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) is a severe disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. musacearum, resulting in complete crop failure and considerable damage. This study assessed the biochemical responses of two enset clones (one resistant and one susceptible) when inoculated with the pathogen and ...

The Effector SIX8 Contributes to Virulence of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae Race 4 on Lettuce

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Secreted in Xylem (SIX) genes were expressed during infection of lettuce by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae race 4 (Fola4). CRISPR‐Cas9 knockout of the SIX8 gene in Fola4 reduced virulence in lettuce which was restored following Agrobacterium mediated complementation. SIX8 therefore contributes to virulence of Fola4 on lettuce.

Evaluation of transgenic bananas expressing anti-apoptotic genes for resistance against Fusarium wilt [PDF]

, 2015
The banana industry worldwide is under threat from a fungal disease known as Fusarium wilt, a disease for which there is no chemical control. Conventional breeding approaches to generate resistant banana varieties are lengthy and very difficult. As such,

Host‐Induced Silencing of Rhizoctonia Solani 5‐Enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐Phosphate Synthase Impairs Its Virulence in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3573-3593, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Sheath blight disease of rice caused by the fungal pathogen R. solani AG1‐IA remains a big threat to rice production worldwide. A limited genetic variation in rice for tolerance to this pathogen and little success in understanding how it defeats host defence are major reasons behind it.

The BAHD Acyltransferase Gene Family: Evolutionary Dynamics, Biochemical Mechanisms, and Roles in Plant Stress Adaptation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4139-4158, June 2026.
BAHD acyltransferases drive metabolic diversification in plants by coupling conserved catalytic scaffolds with regulatory flexibility, enabling stress adaptation and ecological specialisation. ABSTRACT BAHD acyltransferases constitute one of the most versatile enzyme superfamilies in plants, catalysing the acylation of alcohols, amines, polyamines, and

Eucalyptus cloeziana mulch suppresses Fusarium wilt of banana

, 2021
Fusarium wilt of banana, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense, is a serious threat to banana production, with no effective treatment. Mulches and oils from Eucalyptus have been shown to inhibit the growth of F. oxysporum, and reduce the severity of

Genetic diversity of Fusarium oxysporum associated to the banana Fusarium wilt

Revista Mexicana de Fitopatología, Mexican Journal of Phytopathology
Background/Objective. The research objective was to analyze Fusarium oxysporum (Fo) isolates from different banana regions from México using SSR markers. Materials and Methods. Pseudostems of Musa plants exhibiting wilt-disease were sampled from ‘Pisang Awak’ (ABB), ‘Silk’ (AAB), and ‘Bluggoe’ (ABB) varieties collected on commercial orchards of five ...
