Assessment of accessory genome and host-specific virulence in Fusarium

Pokhrel, Ambika (2022-07-28) ETD File Embargoed

Members of the Fusarium solani and Fusarium oxysporum species complexes (FSSC and FOSC, respectively) comprise soil borne filamentous fungi of clinical and agricultural importance. The main focus of this study is to study ...

Comparative genomics and prediction of genome features in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum isolates to aid in the identification of virulence factors specific for cotton

Seo, Seungyeon (2021-08-02) ETD File Embargoed

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp vasinfectum (Fov), the causal agent of Fusarium wilt of cotton (Gossypiym species), is causing a devastating decline in worldwide cotton production. Although many factors associated with pathogenicity ...

Development of a CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system for Fusarium oxysporum and characterization of an extracellular superoxide dismutase and its contribution to pathogenicity on cotton

Wang, Qiang (2019-04-17)

The Fusarium oxysporum species complex (FOSC) is an important group of filamentous fungi that are able to infect both animals and plants. Based on its economic importance, an effort has been made to better understand the ...

Effect of calcium on biofilm development and role of mopB and msrA in virulence of Xylella fastidiosa

Chen, Hongyu (2016-07-27)

Xylella fastidiosa is the causal agent of many diseases on economically important plants. Pierce’s disease of grape (PD) and citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC) are among the most important diseases caused by X. fastidiosa. ...

Genetic diversity of the fungal pathogen Corynespora cassiicola and its fungicide resistance

Rondon, Marina N. (2020-11-23)

Corynespora cassiicola C.T. Wei is a widespread phytopathogenic fungus that causes disease in tropical and subtropical regions in up to 400 plant species, including fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, forestry, and row crops. ...

Identification and Distribution of Fungal Pathogens Associated with Loblolly Pine Defoliation and Tree Mortality in the Southeastern United States

Datta, Debit (2021-12-03)

Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) is a predominant timber species native to the southeastern United States. Since 2016, the species has been experiencing needle defoliation and tree mortality. Symptoms appear as yellowing to ...

Posttranslational Modification of 2-CysPrxs by Reduced Glutathione Interplays with CYP20-3-Dependent OPDA Signaling Pathways

Subedi, Pratima (2020-12-01)

Glutathione, a tripeptide (GSH; a 307 Da γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine peptide) is the most abundantly present, thiol in plants and animals, and considered as a master antioxidant. It prevents damage to cells caused by ...

Target Site Resistance Mechanism of Protoporphyrinogen Oxidase Inhibiting Herbicides in Eleusine indica

Bi, Bo (2021-07-06)

Goosegrass is considered as one of the five most troublesome weeds in the world. Protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) with two isoforms, chloroplast targeted (PPO1) and mitochondrial targeted (PPO2), is a step in the biosynthesis ...

Transcriptomic analysis to identify candidate genes conferring gossypol tolerance in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum

Pokhrel, Ambika (2018-11-27)

Fusarium oxysporium f.sp vasinfectum (Fov) is a soilborne filamentous fungus that causes vascular wilt on cotton. In response to pathogens such as Fov, cotton plants produce the phytoalexin gossypol as a defense mechanism. ...
