Summary: This study explored the potential mechanisms of salicylic acid (SA) as a biofungicide by using the highly pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum as a model system. The results showed that SA could inhibit key targets of the pathogen, modify the metabolic activity within pathogen cells, and induce pathogen cell death. This research provides insights into the application of SA in controlling various fungal diseases by targeting the SNF1-TORC1 pathway of pathogens.

Summary: In this study, a strain of Streptomyces, named XY006, was found to have strong inhibitory activity against Fusarium oxysporum causing banana wilt disease. Two cyclic lipopeptide homologs, lipopeptin A and lipopeptin B, were identified as the corresponding antifungal metabolites. Pot experiments showed that XY006 successfully colonized banana plantlets and suppressed the incidence of banana wilt disease. Furthermore, XY006 fermentation culture application improved plant growth parameters and induced peroxidase activity, indicating a potential role in inducing resistance.

Summary: Common mycorrhizal networks are believed to facilitate nutrient transfer between plants, and this experiment showed that under drought conditions, these networks can significantly increase the shoot biomass of Trifolium subterraneum when grown near Panicum clandestinum. The bacterial community profiles in the rhizospheres of both plants were similar, but drought stress altered the relative abundance of certain bacteria, especially when connected by a common mycorrhizal network. Drought stress also affected the abundance of N-cycling genes differently under the two plant species.

Summary: Fusarium oxysporum is a widespread plant pathogen that can cause fusarium wilt and root rot in economically important crops. A novel mitovirus named Fusarium oxysporum mitovirus 1 (FoMV1) was identified in a strain of F. oxysporum, with a genome length of 2,453 nt encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Phylogenetic analysis showed that FoMV1 is a new member of a distinct species in the genus Mitovirus.

Summary: In this study, F. oxysporum GU-7 and GU-60 were isolated from Glycyrrhiza uralensis, and their antioxidant activities were found to be significantly different. Metabolomics analysis identified abundant dipeptides, phenolic acids, and plant-derived coumarins in GU-7, which may account for its stronger antioxidant activity compared to GU-60. The study also identified key genes and intermediate metabolites involved in coumarin biosynthesis.

VdHP1 regulated the hydrophobicity, stress tolerance, and carbon source utilization of V. dahliae. Additionally, VdHP1 did not affect mycelium penetration on cellophane but contributed to mycelium growth on the surface of living plant cells. The study provides a new perspective for further understanding the molecular mechanisms of pathogen virulence.

Summary: In this study, the transcriptome of cotton seedlings pretreated with the endophytic fungus Gibellulopsis nigrescens CEF08111 was sequenced to investigate the molecular mechanism governing the defense response in cotton plants against Verticillium wilt. Analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) revealed enrichment in plant-pathogen interaction, MAPK signaling pathway-plant, and plant hormone signal transduction pathways. Genes regulating defense-related pathways, such as CDPK, FLS2, RPM1, and MYC2, were identified and may contribute to cotton resistance against V. dahliae. WGCNA also identified DEGs related to lignin synthesis. A total of 710 candidate genes associated with cotton resistance to Verticillium wilt were identified. These findings provide insight into the molecular mechanism by which the biocontrol fungus CEF08111 enhances cotton resistance to Verticillium wilt.

Summary: This study demonstrates that alpha-galactosidase VdGAL4 from V. dahliae is involved in activating plant immune response and plays a crucial role in conidial morphology and yield, formation of microsclerotia, and mycelial penetration. Deletion mutants of VdGAL4 show significantly reduced pathogenicity. These findings contribute to a better understanding of pathogenic virulence factors and the infection mechanism of pathogenic fungi, which may lead to the development of new strategies for effective control of plant diseases caused by pathogenic fungi.

Summary: Serious crop diseases caused by soil microecological disturbances are important barriers to continuous cropping. A pot experiment in Xinjiang showed that the application of the biocontrol fungus Chaetomium globosum CEF-082 increased bacterial diversity and abundance, decreased pathogenic fungi abundance, and reduced the F/B ratio in cotton rhizosphere soil. The addition of CEF-082 also enhanced soil enzyme activity, pH value, and controlled soil nutrient levels, improving soil health and reducing soil-borne pathogens.
