Summary: In the coming years, there is an expected increase in interest among European Union countries for the use of Welsh onion, a lesser-known vegetable from the Far East. As a result, growers may seek advice on seed physiology and commercial production. This article offers information on various aspects including the origin of the species, botanical characteristics, breeding directions, seed production methods, companies involved, seed dormancy, storage methods, crop utilization, and market responses to promotional efforts.

Summary: Members of the Fusarium oxysporum complex are common soilborne fungal pathogens causing wilt diseases in various plant hosts. Strains isolated from medical cannabis plants in Israel showed genetic diversity and different levels of aggressiveness in causing wilt disease, and the pathogen can be spread via propagation material.

Summary: In 2019, a new species of Fusarium causing wilt symptoms in Cavendish bananas in the Philippines was identified as F. mindanaoense, belonging to the F. fujikuroi species complex (FFSC). Molecular and morphological analyses confirmed its classification and revealed a highly conserved amino acid sequence in the Secreted in Xylem 6 (SIX6) gene associated with pathogenicity. This is the first report of Fusarium wilt in Cavendish bananas caused by a species outside of the F. oxysporum species complex.

Summary: This study examined the pathogenicity of Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium proliferatum isolates from diseased and symptomless mature onion bulbs. The findings showed that the symptom status of the original bulb correlated well with the outcome of the test for F. oxysporum isolates, but not for F. proliferatum isolates. Furthermore, F. oxysporum isolates carrying certain genes were more aggressive, while F. proliferatum isolates carried specific genes that may encode overlapping functions.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of different types of vegetable oils on the flavor profile of fried green onion oil. Using sensory analysis, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and electronic nose, the volatile flavor components of seven different kinds of fried green onion oils were identified and analyzed. The results showed that sensory analysis and electronic nose were effective in detecting the odor differences of the oils. A total of 103 volatile flavor components were identified, with key aromas including aldehydes and sulfur-containing compounds. Fatty acid compositions did not significantly change before and after frying, but the relative content differed. Unsaturated fatty acids had a significant influence on the flavor of frying oil.

Summary: This study found that the diversity of rhizosphere microbiota is negatively correlated with Fusarium wilt disease in tomato plants. Cross-kingdom SynComs showed the best suppression effect against the disease, providing a new effective strategy for controlling soil-borne diseases.

Summary: Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici is a global tomato disease for which current management strategies have been unsuccessful. However, pretreatment with magnesium oxide has shown promise in enhancing host resistance to the pathogen by activating the plant's immune response, particularly through the jasmonic acid signaling pathway. This study demonstrates the potential of magnesium oxide as an effective agent for controlling Fusarium wilt in tomato plants.

Summary: This study reveals that the FoMC69 gene in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici (Forl) is essential for virulence in tomato plants. FoMC69 gene is expressed at higher levels in Forl compared to F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol), and its knockout mutant shows reduced pathogenicity. Fluorescent labeling using WGA-FITC reveals morphological differences between Forl and its Delta FoMC69 mutant in the roots. The chlamydospore production of the Delta FoMC69 mutant is three times higher than that of the wild type.

Summary: This study identified and characterized effector genes in Sclerospora graminicola for the first time, providing insights into how pearl millet responds to effector protein interactions. These results will aid in the use of newer bioinformatics tools to identify functional effector proteins and protect pearl millet against downy mildew stress.
