Eggplant wilt, despite emerging as a severe disease in India, the etiology must be better studied for its species' complexity and variability. The identity of fungal isolates associated with eggplants of India was established morphologically followed by sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. Three species, Fusarium falciforme, Fusarium incarnatum and Fusarium proliferatum, were observed for the first time in India.

- Additionally, the taxonomy featured the renaming of two genera and 538 species, along with the removal of one species and the abolition of four others.
losteroviruses are positive sense single-stranded RNA genome-containing plant viruses with narrow natural host range and wide distribution. In the present study, a putative novel closterovirus, Triticum polonicum closterovirus (TriPCV) was identified in the transcriptome assembled contigs of dwarf polish wheat available in public domain. The genome of TriPCV (15.
