is a common hemi-biotrophic pathogen that infect a wide range of host plants, often leading to substantial crop loss and yield reduction. synthesizes various mycotoxins, and fumonisins B are the most prevalent. They act as virulence factors and specific effectors that elicit host resistance.

Achieving progress in the breeding of crops with increased resistance and maintaining a high yield is not possible without a thorough examination of the molecular basis of plant immunity responses.
Methods: LC-MS-based metabolomics approaches powered by three-way ANOVA and the selec-tion of differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) were used for studying plant immunity.
Asparagus crop is distributed worldwide, covering very different climatic regions. Among the different diseases that affect asparagus, vascular wilt, caused by f. sp.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAsparagus is a genus consisting of over two hundred species of perennial plants. is a major asparagus pathogen and it biosynthesizes a variety of mycotoxins, of which fumonisins B are prevalent. Our previous studies on strains indicated that asparagus extract affects the expression of gene, encoding polyketide synthase, a key enzyme of the gene cluster governing the biosynthesis of fumonisins.
