A high-quality whole-genome sequence, assembly, and gene annotation of f. sp. (Fov) race 1 from California.

Fusarium wilt [ f. sp. (FOV)] in cotton is a widespread soilborne pathogen that causes vascular plant disease and is responsible for substantial crop losses worldwide.

Two genome assemblies from pathogenic f. sp. race 4 (FOV4) isolates from California.

f. sp race 4 (FOV4) is the most virulent cotton wilt pathogen in the United States. There is an urgent need for improved detection and diagnostics to combat the spread of FOV4.

Association of Effector Six6 with Vascular Wilt Symptoms Caused by Fusarium oxysporum on Soybean.

The Fusarium oxysporum species complex (FOSC) is a widely distributed group of fungi that includes both pathogenic and nonpathogenic isolates. In a previous study, isolates within the FOSC collected primarily from soybean were assessed for the presence of 12 fungal effector genes. Although none of the assayed genes was significantly associated with wilt symptoms on soybean, the secreted in xylem 6 (Six6) gene was present only in three isolates, which all produced high levels of vascular wilt on soybean.

Association of Putative Fungal Effectors in Fusarium oxysporum with Wilt Symptoms in Soybean.

Fungi within the Fusarium oxysporum species complex can cause root rot, seedling blight, and wilt of soybean. Isolates recovered from soybean vary in aggressiveness and also the type of symptoms they produce. The aim of this study was to identify genetic markers to detect aggressive soybean wilt isolates.

Genotypic and Phenotypic Characterization of Fungi in the Fusarium oxysporum Species Complex from Soybean Roots.

Isolates in the Fusarium oxysporum species complex (FOSC) from soybean range from nonpathogenic to aggressive pathogens causing seedling damping-off, wilt, and root rot. The objective of this research was to characterize the genotype and phenotype of isolates within the FOSC recovered predominantly from soybean roots and seedlings. Sequence analyses of the translation elongation factor (tef1α) gene and the mitochondrial small subunit (mtSSU), polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of the intergenic spacer (IGS) region, and identification of the mating type loci were conducted for 170 isolates.
