The Fusarium oxysporum species complex (FOSC) contains highly specific plant pathogens and some nonpathogenic strains, such as Fo47. Our work concentrated on F. oxysporum f.sp. lini (Foln), the specific flax pathogen and the endophytic strain F. oxysporum 47 (Fo47), which is suggested to have a protective effect on flax against pathogens. We investigated the effects of apocarotenoids, including ionones and abscisic acid (ABA), on the growth and development of these fungal strains, assessing the potential fungicidal properties of these compounds and comparing the responses of the fungi. The study demonstrated that ionones significantly inhibited mycelial growth in both Foln and Fo47 strains. Our results also showed the differences in apocarotenoid's effect on studied strains in regard of sporulation, FUB genes cluster activity and fusaric acid (FA) production.

Fungal diseases in agricultural crops cause economic losses, with chemical control being the conventional method to manage them. However, this approach negatively impacts both the environment and human health. This study focused on endophytic fungi isolated from the roots of Ceratozamia mirandae in the Mexican locality of Juan Sabines (Villa Corzo, Chiapas).

Chitinases, enzymes responsible for hydrolyzing chitin, a significant component of fungal cell walls, play a crucial role in plant defense mechanisms, growth, symbiotic relationships, and stress resistance. In this study, we identified 27 chitinase genes in chickpeas (CaChi) and classified them into five classes based on phylogenetic analysis. Overall, chitinase genes are clustered on eight chromosomes.

The cultivation of cowpea (), a vital vegetable crop, faces significant threats from spp.-induced root rot. In this study, three fungal pathogens ( HKFf, HKFi, and HKFo) were isolated from symptomatic cowpea plants, and we screened 90 rhizobacteria from healthy rhizospheres using six culture media.
