A structurally unique effector shared between vascular wilt fungi drives cotton and olive defoliation
Abstract Defoliating (D) strains of the vascular wilt fungus Verticillium dahliae cause severe yield losses in cotton and olive, but the genetic basis of this pathotype remained unknown. Using comparative genomics, functional genetics, structural analysis, and phylogenomics, we identify a D-pathotype–specific genomic region encoding two duplicated secreted effector genes.

Molecular Variability of the Fusarium solani Species Complex Associated with Fusarium Wilt of Melon in Iran
1. Introduction Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is one of the most economically important horticultural crops among the Cucurbitaceae and comprises diverse varieties, such as C. melo L. var. cantalopensis Naudin (cantaloupe) and C. melo L. var. indorus Naudin (long melon). The top 10 melon producing countries are China, Turkey, India, Kazakhstan, and Iran in Asia, Egypt in Africa, Spain in Europe, United States, Guatemala, and Mexico in America [1].

Comparative genomics-based markers: discrimination of host-specificity in Fusarium oxysporum
The polyphyletic nature of many formae speciales of Fusarium oxysporum (Fo) prevents molecular identification of newly encountered strains based on conserved, vertically inherited genes. Alternative molecular detection methods that could replace labour- and time-intensive disease assays are therefore highly desired.
