Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc) is one of the most destructive soil-borne fungi causing Fusarium wilt disease in banana. Generally, Foc race 1 (Foc R1) severely affects most of the banana varieties, except Cavendish bananas (AAA). Here we present the draft genome of an isolate of VCG 0124, a novel virulent Foc R1 strain that severely affects the Cavendish group of bananas isolated from Theni district of Tamil Nadu, India. The genome assembly of Foc R1 comprises 61,471,473 bp with 88 contigs and 18,377 protein-coding regions. The genome contains homologs of Foc race specific secreted in xylem (SIX) genes, SIX1, SIX5, SIX9 and SIX13. The absence of SIX4 and SIX6 and deletion of a peptide in SIX1 virulence factor genes in the Foc R1 (VCG0124) strain might be the contributing factor for strain infecting Cavendish bananas in India.

Fusarium wilt, caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense, is the most serious pandemic disease of banana. In this study, we report the draft genome of F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense vegetative compatibility group (VCG) 01213/16 of strain tropical race 4 (TR4) that infects the Cavendish (AAA) group of banana collected from the subtropical region in India. The genome assembly of SFoc TR4 comprises 47,384,463 bp with 4,034 contigs and 15,508 protein-coding regions. Based on VCG analysis, the fungal isolate belongs to F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense TR4 but the genome sequence of SFoc TR4 shows differences in secreted-in-xylem (SIX) protein gene clusters (specifically, SIX8) in comparison with the reference genome of F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici and F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense TR4.

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans is the causal agent of Fusarium wilt of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.), which results in severe yield loss. Here, we report a high-quality genome sequence of a race 1 strain (IVC-1) of F. oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans, which was assembled using a combination of PacBio long-read and Illumina short-read sequences. The assembled IVC-1 genome has a total size of 71.18 Mb, with a contig N50 length of 4.59 Mb, and encodes 23,374 predicted protein-coding genes. The high-quality genome of IVC-1 provides a valuable resource for facilitating our understanding of F. oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans–cabbage interaction.

Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. sesami is an extremely destructive pathogen, causing sesame Fusarium wilt disease worldwide. To clarify the pathogenicity and the genetic characters of F. oxysporum f. sp. sesami, we systematically investigated 69 F. oxysporum isolates collected from major sesame-growing areas in China. Among these isolates, 54 isolates were pathogenic and 15 were nonpathogenic according to pathogenicity testing on sesame seedlings. For the pathogenic isolates, three F. oxysporum f. sp. sesami pathogenicity groups were defined based on the three differential sesame hosts for the first time. A translation elongation factor 1α gene tree was constructed to determine the genetic diversity of the F. oxysporum isolates but could not separate F. oxysporum f. sp. sesami isolates from the nonpathogenic isolates and other F. oxysporum formae speciales. Ten secreted-in-xylem (SIX) genes (one family of effectors) were identified in F. oxysporum f. sp. sesami isolates by a search with the genome data, and were subsequently screened in the 69 F. oxysporum isolates. Compared with the SIX gene profiles in other F. oxysporum formae speciales, the presence and sequence variations of the SIX gene homologs directly correlated with the specific pathogenicity of F. oxysporum f. sp. sesami toward sesame. Furthermore, eight of these F. oxysporum f. sp. sesami SIX genes were significantly expressed in sesame plants as infection of the F. oxysporum f. sp. sesami isolate. These findings have important significance for understanding the pathogenic basis of F. oxysporum f. sp. sesami isolates, and will contribute to improve the diagnostics to effectively control Fusarium wilt disease in sesame.

I-3-Mediated resistance of tomato against Fusarium wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici depends on Six1, a protein that is secreted by the fungus during colonization of the xylem. Among natural isolates of F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici are several that are virulent on a tomato line carrying only the I-3 resistance gene. However, evasion of I-3-mediated resistance by these isolates is not correlated with mutation of the SIX1 gene. Moreover, the SIX1 gene of an I-3-virulent isolate was shown to be fully functional in that i) the gene product is secreted in xylem sap, ii) deletion leads to a further increase in virulence on the I-3 line as well as reduced virulence on susceptible lines, and iii) the gene confers full avirulence on the I-3 line when transferred to another genetic background. Remarkably, all I-3-virulent isolates were of race 1, suggesting a link between the presence of AVR1 and evasion of I-3-mediated resistance.

Pea varieties resistant to Fusarium wilt and near-wilt developed a wilt disease when grown in a field disease nursery at Ottawa. Two isolates of Fusarium oxysporum f. pisi (Linford) were obtained from infected plants. When tested, one of these was similar to F. oxysporum f. pisi race 2 (near-wilt) in host range and cultural characteristics. The other resembled F. oxysporum f. pisi race 1 (wilt) in morphology and cultural characteristics, but caused severe symptoms on New Era and Wisconsin 183, varieties resistant to races 1 and 2. It was concluded that this latter isolate is a new race; it is proposed that it be designated as F. oxysporum f. pisi race 4.
