Verticillium dahliae Kleb is a typical soilborne pathogen that can cause vascular wilt disease
on more than 400 plants. Functional analysis of genes related to the growth and virulence is …

Glycoside hydrolase (GH) family members act as virulence factors and regulate plant
immune responses during pathogen infection. Here, we characterized the GH28 family …

Pathogens secrete multiple enzymes that can degrade the cell wall, thereby weakening the
host's cell wall and facilitating the penetration of the pathogen into the plant. In this study, we …

The fungus Verticillium dahliae causes vascular wilt disease on various plant species
resulting in devastating yield losses worldwide. The capacity of V. dahliae to colonize in host …

Fungal pathogens secrete effector proteins that regulate host immunity and can suppress
basal defence mechanisms against colonization in plants. Verticillium dahliae is a …

For successful colonization, fungal pathogens have evolved specialized infection structures
to overcome the barriers present in host plants. The morphology of infection structures and …

Verticillium dahliae is a soil‐borne, hemibiotrophic phytopathogenic fungus that causes
wilting in crop plants. Here, we constructed a random insertional mutant library using …

Verticillium dahliae is a wide-host-range fungal pathogen that causes soil-borne disease in
hundreds of dicotyledonous hosts. In search of V. dahliae Vd991 cell death-inducing …

Calcium signaling plays crucial roles in ion stress tolerance, sporulation and pathogenicity
in fungi. Although the signaling pathway mediated by calcineurin and the calcineurin …

Verticillium dahliae causes destructive vascular wilt diseases on more than 200 plant
species, including economically important crops and ornamental trees worldwide. The …
