A structurally unique effector shared between <i>Verticillium dahliae</i> and <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> is involved in cotton defoliation and virulence on other hosts

2026-02-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Defoliating (D) strains of the vascular wilt fungus Verticillium dahliae cause severe yield losses in cotton and olive worldwide, yet the genetic basis underlying this pathotype has remained unknown. Here, we combined comparative genomics, functional genetics, structural analysis, and phylogenomics to uncover the molecular determinant of defoliation. We identified a small, D pathotype–specific g...
