The present study evaluated the priming efficacy of chitosan and chitosan-derived nanoparticles (CNPs) against bacterial wilt of tomato. In the current study, seed-treated CNPs plus pathogen-inoculated tomato seedlings recorded significant protection of 62 % against pathogen-induced wilt disease and subsequently better growth. The induced resistance was witnessed by a prominent increase in lignin, callose and HO deposition, followed by superoxide radical accumulation in leaves. Additionally, chitosan and CNPs-treated tomato plants recorded a remarkable increase in the upregulation of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), peroxidase (POX), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), catalase (CAT) and β-1, 3 glucanase (GLU) in comparison with untreated plants. The chitosan and CNPs-induced antioxidant enzymes were positively correlated with the stimulation of corresponding gene expression in CNPs treated plants related to pathogen-inoculated ones. The results of this study describe that how the application of chitosan and CNPs elicit defense responses at the cellular, biochemical and gene expression in tomato plants against bacterial wilt disease, thereby improve growth and yield.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is an herbaceous perennial in the Zingiberaceae family grown primarily in tropical to subtropical biomes as a culinary spice, a traditional medicine, and a landscaping plant. While ginger grows at soil temperatures above 20°C, several farmers in the upper Midwestern US farmers grows short-season ginger in high tunnels. In 2023 and 2024, growers in southeastern Minnesota reported a new disease of ginger.

Epipremnum aureum, sometimes known as the Money Plant, is a popular houseplant known for its hearts-shaped leaves and durability. Commonly referred to as Golden Pothos or Devil's Ivy, it is also appreciated for its ornamental value and air cleaning ability. They say that these plants are attractive to many people owing to their tolerance to several conditions and easy care, therefore, it is no surprise that they are found in many households and workplaces.

For plant diseases to become established, plant pathogens require not only virulence factors and susceptible hosts, but also optimal environmental conditions. The accumulation of high soil salinity can have serious impacts on agro-biological ecosystems. However, the interactions between plant pathogens and salinity have not been fully characterized.

The Ralstonia solanacearum Species Complex (RSSC) is the most significant plant pathogen group with a wide host range. It is genetically related but displays distinct biological features, such as restrictive geography occurrence. The RSSC comprises three species: Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum (phylotype I and III), Ralstonia solanacearum (phylotype IIA and IIB), and Ralstonia syzygii (phylotype IV) (Fegan and Prior 2005).

Background: Fungal communities around plant roots play crucial roles in maintaining plant health. Nonetheless, the responses of fungal communities to bacterial wilt disease remain poorly understood. Here, the structure and function of fungal communities across four consecutive compartments (bulk soil, rhizosphere, rhizoplane and root endosphere) were investigated under the influence of bacterial wilt disease.
