Summary: Cotton-maize rotation and cotton-maize-broccoli residue rotation can effectively control the incidence of cotton Verticillium wilt by reducing the populations of V. dahliae in soil. These rotation methods also impact the bacterial community structure and nutrient cycling in the cotton rhizosphere, leading to the enrichment of beneficial microbial populations.

Summary: Cotton is a widely grown crop due to its economic value. Verticillium wilt, caused by a pathogen called Verticillium dahliae, is a devastating disease that affects cotton crops, leading to yield losses and lower fiber quality. Developing genetically engineered cotton varieties with resistance to Verticillium wilt is an effective strategy, but there are challenges due to the lack of resistance gene resources. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of the interaction between V. dahliae and cotton is crucial in identifying genes related to disease resistance.

Summary: This study revealed that the TBL34 gene in cotton is related to Verticillium wilt (VW) resistance, with different alleles significantly affecting resistance. Differences in amino acid sequences of related proteins impact resistance conversion, suggesting that the TBL34 gene may play a role in regulating resistance to VW in cotton.

Summary: This article discusses the resistance and susceptibility mechanisms of cotton to Fusarium and Verticillium wilt, as well as the classification of associated genes. The characteristics of Fusarium and the role of human neutrophils in limiting hyphal growth are outlined. The similarities and differences between animal and plant resistance to Fusarium are comprehensively compared.

Summary: The study showed that pectin lyase can enhance cotton resistance to Verticillium wilt and induce cell apoptosis of the V. dahliae strain Vd080. Pectin lyase affects various cellular processes in the Vd080 strain, leading to ER stress and ultimately cell apoptosis. These findings suggest that pectin lyase could be a potential biocontrol agent for managing Verticillium wilt in cotton.

Summary: In this study, algorithms were used to select the key physiological and spectral features of cotton leaves affected by Volkswagen disease (VW), leading to the development of a new monitoring indicator for early detection of VW. The indicator showed high accuracy in tests and may provide new ideas and methods for early and accurate monitoring of VW and other fungal diseases.

Summary: The plasma membrane is a key battlefield between plants and attacking microbes. Necrosis-and-ethylene-inducing peptide 1 (NLP)-like proteins, produced by bacterial, fungal, and oomycete species, can target and damage lipid membranes causing cell death. In this study, it was discovered that cotton produces an enzyme called lysophospholipase (GhLPL2) which blocks the virulence of a NLP produced by the pathogen Verticillium dahliae. This discovery highlights the potential of lysophospholipase overexpression as a strategy for breeding crops with high resistance to NLP-producing pathogens.

Summary: Turkey plays a significant role in the global cotton production and import, and this study analyzed the fluctuations in cotton production and soil and water quality in the Harran Plains region of southeastern Anatolia. The results showed that subsidy and regulation policies had significant impacts on crop selection behavior, decreasing cotton cultivation area and water consumption. However, these policies also affected the gross production value, water resources, and soil quality in the region.

Summary: This study cloned six TMEM214 genes associated with Verticillium wilt resistance from Gossypium barbadense and revealed their differential expression patterns under Verticillium dahliae inoculation and hormone treatments. Virus-induced gene silencing analysis showed the significant role of GbTMEM214s in resistance to Verticillium dahliae.

Summary: This study explored the relationship between intercropping patterns (cotton-onion, cotton-garlic, cotton-wheat and cotton monoculture) and the soil microbial community structure in the context of Cotton Verticillium wilt. The results showed that intercropping with cotton-garlic and cotton-onion significantly reduced the incidence of the disease. The abundance of Chaetomium and Penicillium was found to be associated with disease resistance.

Summary: The plant endophytic microbiome plays an important role in plant growth and health. The study found that pathogen infection reduces bacterial diversity and affects the composition of bacterial communities. The endophytic microbiome of infected plants is more complex than that of healthy plants. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed significant changes in pathways related to plant hormone signal transduction, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, and the synthesis and metabolism of amino acids. Additionally, plants inoculated with Pseudomonas sp. strains showed increased resistance to cotton Verticillium wilt in pot experiments.

Summary: The study evaluated different control strategies for avocado wilt disease caused by Verticillium spp., and found that integrated approaches like T7fi and T8fi were most effective in reducing disease progression and pathogen levels in soil and plant tissues. These treatments also led to significant increases in fruit quality. Despite higher costs, the cost/benefit ratio of T7fi and T8fi was the best among all treatments, making them the most optimal choices for Verticillium wilt control.
