Abstract

Pydiflumetofen (Pyd), one of the new-generation SDHIs, has been applied to control various diseases in economic crops. Fusarium solani, a soil-borne pathogen with a broad host range, is the agent of quinoa basal-stem rot (QBSR). In this study, three PydLR (4.64 < RF < 9.31), six PydMR (51.24 < RF < 86.91), and seven PydHR mutants (RF > 6000) were generated by Pyd-taming. Most F. solani PydR mutants showed no fitness penalties. The sequence alignment of FsSdh genes revealed that substitutions S202F, L244P, and H248P/R/Y in FsSdhB, or A83 V in FsSdhC1, caused Pyd resistance. Notably, the mutation S202F causing HR was first reported. Molecular docking demonstrated that these aforementioned mutations significantly reduced affinity between Pyd and the Qp-binding pocket. These results provide pivotal data for the resistance management strategies of F. solani and advance our understanding of the resistance mechanisms of SDHIs.

Draft genome of Fusarium solani BAT10: an efficient polyurethane-degrading fungus isolated from a waste gas-treating biofilter.

Plastic degradation by microorganisms offers a natural mechanism for the breakdown of persistent pollutants. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Fusarium solani strain BAT10, isolated from a waste gas-treating biofilter and capable of degrading aliphatic polyurethane foams as the only source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy.

Emergence of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae in the Eastern United States.

Historically, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae (Fof), the causal agent of Fusarium wilt in strawberry, has been a major problem for strawberry production in California but has been largely absent in the rest of the United States. During the growing seasons of 2023 to 2025, independent detections of Fof were made on strawberry plants exhibiting symptoms of Fusarium wilt in the eastern U.S. states of Florida, North Carolina, New York, Connecticut, and Virginia. Sixteen isolates were obtained from symptomatic plants across this region, and a subset (n = 14) were confirmed to be Fof by pathogenicity testing, morphological characterization, PCR diagnostics, and whole-genome sequencing. Specifically, these tests demonstrated that all tested isolates were virulent on susceptible (fw1) strawberry cultivars but not on resistant (FW1) cultivars, classifying them as race 1. Although all isolates tested positive with the more recently developed Fof-specific PCR assay by Burkhardt et al. (2019), many (43.75%) failed detection with the commonly used Suga et al. (2013) assay. Comparative genomics revealed that these isolates represent at least three distinct phylogenetic clades (Y1, Y2, and the putative Y10), suggesting multiple independent introductions rather than a single dissemination event. The genetic diversity of the eastern U.S. Fof populations and their likely origin from nursery stock highlight the need for more robust diagnostics, certified clean planting stock, and region-specific resistance trials to manage Fusarium wilt beyond California.

The hidden costs of using media to mimic the hosts of Fusarium graminearum: An epigenetic perspectives.

Pathogens dynamically reprogrammed gene expression when transitioning between nonhost and host environments. Epigenetic regulation can provide a rapid and reversible mechanism for this shift. Using published data from Shao et al. (2024) and Zhao et al. (2024), we compare chromatin states in the fungus Fusarium graminearum under in vitro trichothecene mycotoxin (deoxynivalenol) inducing conditions and during wheat spike infection. This revealed striking differences in H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 landscapes with the two datasets showing limited overlap in marked genes and distinct genomic distributions. This indicates that chemically induced cultures only partially replicate the complex signals encountered in planta and emphasise the need for infection-reflective experimental designs to accurately characterise pathogenicity mechanisms.
