Role of Verticillium dahliae effectors in interaction with cotton plants

Abstract Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is grown worldwide owing to the vast economic value of its natural fiber. However, the widespread and destructive soilborne pathogen, Verticillium dahliae, causes Verticillium wilt, leading to severe yield losses and reduced fiber quality of cotton. The ability of V....

description Abstract Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is grown worldwide owing to the vast economic value of its natural fiber. However, the widespread and destructive soilborne pathogen, Verticillium dahliae, causes Verticillium wilt, leading to severe yield losses and reduced fiber quality of cotton. The ability of V. dahliae to perceive and infect cotton determines the outcome of their interactions. V. dahliae employs diverse defense mechanisms to evade or suppress plant immunity, ultimately establishing a proliferation niche. Evading plant immunity by suppressing host recognition or successive immune signaling is a successful infection strategy employed by various microbial pathogens, posing a significant challenge to effectively utilizing host hereditary resistance genes in sustainable disease management. This review focused on summarizing “effectors” and the molecular mechanisms of various effectors on cotton and the corresponding defense mechanisms in the plants. Furthermore, it highlighted the potential of effectors for engineering resistance cotton plants against Verticillium wilt, aiming to provide a reference for the creation of cotton disease-resistant germplasm resources by host genome editing and other methods.
