Genetic transformation of cotton with a harpin-encoding gene hpa_Xoo confers an enhanced defense response against different pathogens through a priming mechanism

BMC Plant Biology, 2010
Background The soil-borne fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae Kleb causes Verticillium wilt in a wide range of crops including cotton (Gossypium hirsutum). To date, most upland cotton varieties are susceptible to V.

Ineffectiveness of foliar nutrient sprays on cotton lint yield after riverine flooding

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Irrigated Australian cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is primarily produced on Vertosols, which are susceptible to waterlogging due to their highwater retention capacity and poor drainage. Waterlogging inhibits root growth and depletes soil oxygen, resulting in changes to soil pH, redox, and nutrient availability. Australian cotton farmers often

Comparative efficacy of seed biopriming and soil drenching with Bacillus altitudinis TM22 and Bacillus atrophaeus MCM61 on the suppression of Fusarium wilt of cotton

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2424-2445, March 2026.
Co‐application of Bacillus strains TM22 and MCM61 suppressed Fusarium wilt of cotton. Seed biopriming with Bacillus strains performed better than soil drenching. TM22 + MCM61 improved vegetative and physiological aspects in cotton plants. TM22 + MCM61 enhanced the activity of defense enzymes and defense gene expression.

Efficacy of Putative Botanical Fumigants and Fungicides Against Soil‐Borne Fungal Pathogens in Wheat

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The negative effects of pesticides for humans and environment have encouraged research into natural control means to protect crops from biotic stresses. This study evaluated the antifungal activity and phytotoxicity of seven natural putative inhibitory products (PIPs), as well their persistence, under both in vitro and in vivo conditions.

Functional verification of GhAFP8 in upland cotton under verticillium wilt stress

Plant Stress
Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae, poses a severe threat to cotton growth and yield as a soil-borne disease. The ABI five binding protein (AFP) family, characterized by alkaline leucine zip-like transcription factors, responds to ABA ...

bZIP63.5 Regulates a Zinc‐Finger Mediated Detoxification Network in Trichoderma Harzianum for Enhanced Biocontrol of Alternaria alternata

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
The bZIP63.5 transcription factor, activated by Alternaria alternata stress, directly upregulates zinc‐finger transcription factors (Zn2CyS6 and C2H2 types), which in turn enhance the expression of downstream detoxification and defence‐related genes, collectively improving the biocontrol efficacy of Trichoderma harzianum.

Genome-wide identification of cyclophilin genes in Gossypium hirsutum and functional characterization of a CYP with antifungal activity against Verticillium dahliae

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Cyclophilins (CYPs), belonging to the peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase) superfamily, play important roles during plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses.

Enterobacter Species: Opportunistic Human and Plant Pathogens With Plant‐Beneficial Traits

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
The pathogen profile on Enterobacter species synthesises current knowledge on host range, disease symptoms, plant‐beneficial traits and compares genomic features within the genus. ABSTRACT Enterobacter species occur across diverse habitats and are best known for causing opportunistic and nosocomial infections in humans.

Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum Effector Protein ScAA9 Contributes to Virulence and Triggers Plant Immune Responses

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
The AA9 family protein ScAA9 of Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum plays dual roles as both a virulence factor for infection and a PAMP for host immune manipulation, highlighting the complexity of S. cucurbitacearum–host interactions. ABSTRACT Fungal pathogens secrete cell wall‐degrading enzymes that either act as virulence factors or are perceived by ...
