“…It is a common cause of diseases in plants such as peas, beans, potatoes, olive, soybeans, and many types of cucurbits and humans, resulting in either mycoses or the infection of the eye cornea. It can result in plant decline, wilting, and necrosis in plant roots ( Kurt et al, 2020 ).…”

Fusarium solani is worrisome because it severely threatens the agricultural productivity of certain crops such as tomatoes and peas, causing the general decline, wilting, and root necrosis. It has also been implicated in the infection of the human eye cornea. It is believed that early detection of the fungus could save these crops from the destructive activities of the fungus through early biocontrol measures. Therefore, the present work aimed to build a sensitive model of novel anti-Fusarium solani antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) against the fungal cutinase 1 (CUT1) protein for early, sensitive and accurate detection. Fusarium solani CUT1 receptor protein 2D secondary structure, model validation, and functional motifs were predicted. Subsequently, anti-Fusarium solani AMPs were retrieved, and the HMMER in silico algorithm was used to construct a model of the AMPs. After their structure predictions, the interaction analysis was analyzed for the Fusarium solani CUT1 protein and the generated AMPs. The putative anti-Fusarium solani AMPs bound the CUT1 protein very tightly, with OOB4 having the highest binding energy potential for HDock. The pyDockWeb generated high electrostatic, desolvation, and low van der Waals energies for all the AMPs against CUT1 protein, with OOB1 having the most significant interaction. The results suggested the utilization of AMPs for the timely intervention, control, and management of these crops, as mentioned earlier, to improve their agricultural productivity and reduce their economic loss and the use of HMMER for constructing models for disease detection.

“…The annual exportation of citrus fruits to Europe and other western countries has reached 755.000 tons [ 1 , 2 ]. However, citrus plantations are threatened by several pathogens of which the Fusarium species, mainly F. solani , is causing citrus dry root rot (DRR) disease, which is responsible for significant economic loss [ 1 , 3 , 4 ]. In addition, Fusarium species can cause other serious diseases on citrus plantation such as twig rot, decline dieback, twig blight, and vascular wilt, thereby are a major threat to citrus production worldwide [ 1 , 5 , 6 ].…”

Citrus trees face threats from several diseases that affect its production, in particular dry root rot (DRR). DRR is a multifactorial disease mainly attributed to Neocosmospora (Fusarium) solani and other several species of Neocosmospora and Fusarium spp. Nowadays, biological control holds a promising control strategy that showed its great potential as a reliable eco-friendly method for managing DRR disease. In the present study, antagonist rhizobacteria isolates were screened based on in vitro dual culture bioassay with N. solani. Out of 210 bacterial isolates collected from citrus rhizosphere, twenty isolates were selected and identified to the species level based on the 16S rRNA gene. Molecular identification based on 16S rRNA gene revealed nine species belonging to Bacillus, Stenotrophomonas, and Sphingobacterium genus. In addition, their possible mechanisms involved in biocontrol and plant growth promoting traits were also investigated. Results showed that pectinase, cellulose, and chitinase were produced by eighteen, sixteen, and eight bacterial isolates, respectively. All twenty isolates were able to produce amylase and protease, only four isolates produced hydrogen cyanide, fourteen isolates have solubilized tricalcium phosphate, and ten had the ability to produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Surprisingly, antagonist bacteria differed substantially in their ability to produce antimicrobial substances such as bacillomycin (five isolates), iturin (ten isolates), fengycin (six isolates), surfactin (fourteen isolates), and bacteriocin (subtilosin A (six isolates)). Regarding the PGPR capabilities, an increase in the growth of the bacterial treated canola plants, used as a model plant, was observed. Interestingly, both bacterial isolates Bacillus subtilis K4-4 and GH3-8 appear to be more promising as biocontrol agents, since they completely suppressed the disease in greenhouse trials. Moreover, these antagonist bacteria could be used as bio-fertilizer for sustainable agriculture.

Background: Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is an important economic crop. The pathological effects of Fusarium spp., a group of soilborne pathogens, on the root systems of apple plants was unknown. It was unclear how mycorrhizal apple seedlings resist infection by F. solani. The transcriptional profiles of mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal plants infected by F. solani were compared using RNA-Seq.Results: Infection with F. solani significantly reduced the dry weight of apple roots, and the roots of mycorrhizal apple plants were less damaged when the plants were infected with F. solani. They also had enhanced activity of antioxidant enzymes and a reduction in the oxidation of membrane lipids. A total of 1,839 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained after mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal apple plants were infected with F. solani. A gene ontogeny (GO) analysis showed that most DEGs were involved in the binding of ADP and calcium ions. In addition, the enrichment observed from an analysis with the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) primarily involved plant-pathogen interaction and Glycolysis/Gluconeogenesis, the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, and plant hormone signal transduction. Based on a MapMan analysis, an enormous number of DEGs were involved in the response of mycorrhizal plants to stress. Among them, the overexpressed transcription factor MdWRKY40 significantly improved the resistance of ‘Orin’ to F. solani and the expression of the resistance gene MdGLU by binding the promoter of MdGLU.Conclusion: This paper outlines how the inoculation of apple seedlings by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi reduces the response to stress at the transcription level of the root system following infection with F. solani, and MdWRKY40 played an important role in the resistance of mycorrhizal apple seedlings to infection with F. solani.
