Fusarium wilt of bananas (FWB) is a severe plant disease that leads to substantial losses in
banana production worldwide. It remains a major concern for Cuban banana cultivation. The …

Fusarium wilt of banana, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), is one of the
most damaging plant diseases known. Foc race 1 (R1) decimated the Gros Michel-based …

Because of Muller's rachet—the slow but inevitable accumulation of mutations that reduce
fitness—clonal evolution is a hazardous strategy but one that seems to be commonly …

To assess the genomic diversity of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lini strains and compile a
comprehensive gene repertoire, we constructed a pangenome using 13 isolates from four …

Pangenomes, capturing the genetic diversity of a species or genus, are essential to
understanding the ecology, pathobiology and evolutionary mechanisms of fungi that cause …

In ascomycetous fungi, sexual mate recognition requires interaction of the Ste2 receptor
protein produced by one partner with the α-factor peptide pheromone produced by the other …

Abstract The Ascomycete genus Fusarium, first introduced by Link in 1809, currently consists
of 431 species and 3558 unclassified isolates and hybrids (according to NCBI Taxonomy …

Fusarium wilt of bananas (FWB) is a devastating plant disease that causes significant
economic losses in banana production worldwide and is one of the major concerns for …

Many pathogens evolved compartmentalized genomes with conserved core and variable
accessory regions (ARs) that carry effector genes mediating virulence. The fungal plant …
