Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether the gene foisc1 in the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (FocTR4) plays a role in affecting salicylic acid (SA) levels to help the fungus infect banana plants.
- Deleting the foisc1 gene enhances the fungus’s growth and conidiation while hindering its ability to colonize host plants and causes increased sensitivity to SA, indicating its importance in pathogenicity.
- The research also demonstrates that the absence of foisc1 leads to a rise in defense enzyme activities and related gene expressions in the banana host, suggesting that Foisc1 helps the fungus modulate host defenses to facilitate infection.
The banana vascular wilt pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. , delivers a number of different secreted proteins into host plant tissues during infection.
