Variability in Fusarium species Causing Wilt Disease in Crops: A Transcriptomic Approach to Characterize Dialogue Between Host and Pathogen

Crop Improvement

Abstract

Crops are indispensible for the existence of humans and animals and the commercial importance comes under threat when they are attacked and infected by the pathogens. The crops are constantly under threat and are exposed to various pathogens. Some pathogens are host specific and thus can infect the healthy plant and some of them are opportunists, which gain entry from the wounding site. The most important and devastating among the pathogens are the fungal pathogens and important amongst these is Fusarium sp. This genus contains many species attacking diversity of agricultural crops. These are pathogenic to plants and also produce toxins, which affect the animals and humans consuming the plants. This review focuses on the pathogenesis of Fusarium sp. causing crop diseases and understanding the host–pathogen interactions including plant defense responses. This article perceives the potential of transcriptomics in association between two-species. The identified association between species (crops and microbes (Fusarium sp.) can reveal processes which can be exploited beneficially for applications in biotechnology. Specifically, we address the question how the new knowledge gained from transcriptomic approaches and analyses of interactions between plants and disease causing microbes (Fusarium) can be exploited in ways that will ultimately lead to crop improvement by development of crop cultivars that are productive under multiple environmental pressures.
