Abstract

Small cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), known as the "Queen of Spices," is severely affected by rot diseases caused by Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht, leading to significant crop losses globally. This review provides an overview about the plant, its pathogen F. oxysporum and the biocontrol agents used. The pathogenesis of the fungus, the host defence mechanisms and the mechanisms used by biocontrol agents like Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Trichoderma viride, Trichoderma harzianum, and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) are discussed. F. oxysporum is a globally recognized pathogen responsible for wilting diseases in a wide range of economically important plants, including tomato, watermelon, asparagus, potato, banana, cucumber, pepper, chickpea, cotton, and more. Additionally, it is known to cause rot disease in cardamom. This review also recognizes the lacunae in plant pathology research in this pathosystem and highlights future research approaches that are needed to improve our understanding of cardamom-Fusarium biology and to find effective biocontrols. At this point, it is imperative to support studies that examine the physiological and genetic responses of the organisms involved as well as extensive omic research to create a model of the interactions between cardamom, Fusarium, and the biocontrol agent. Development of specific techniques for microscopic visualization of the interactions and in vitro growth of cardamom seedlings will accelerate this research. These strategies hold potential for mitigating the devastating impact of F. oxysporum on cardamom cultivation.

豆蔻镰刀菌的病理系统:目前的知识和未来的方向。
被称为“香料女王”的小豆蔻(Elettaria cardamomum)受到尖孢镰刀菌(Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht)引起的腐病的严重影响,导致全球重大作物损失。本文综述了该植物及其病原菌尖孢镰刀菌及其生物防治药剂的研究进展。讨论了真菌的发病机制、宿主防御机制以及枯草芽孢杆菌、荧光假单胞菌、绿色木霉、哈茨木霉和丛枝菌根真菌等生物防治剂的作用机制。F. oxysporum是一种全球公认的病原体,可导致多种重要经济植物的萎蔫病,包括番茄、西瓜、芦笋、土豆、香蕉、黄瓜、辣椒、鹰嘴豆、棉花等。此外,已知它会引起豆蔻腐烂病。本文还指出了该疾病系统在植物病理学研究中的空白,并强调了未来的研究方法,以提高我们对豆蔻镰刀菌生物学的理解,并找到有效的生物防治措施。在这一点上,必须支持研究所涉及的生物体的生理和遗传反应,以及广泛的组学研究,以创建豆蔻,镰刀菌和生物防治剂之间相互作用的模型。豆蔻幼苗相互作用和体外生长的显微可视化技术的发展将加速这一研究。这些策略有可能减轻尖孢镰刀菌对豆蔻种植的破坏性影响。

期刊介绍: World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology publishes research papers and review articles on all aspects of Microbiology and Microbial Biotechnology. Since its foundation, the Journal has provided a forum for research work directed toward finding microbiological and biotechnological solutions to global problems. As many of these problems, including crop productivity, public health and waste management, have major impacts in the developing world, the Journal especially reports on advances for and from developing regions. Some topics are not within the scope of the Journal. Please do not submit your manuscript if it falls into one of the following categories: · Virology · Simple isolation of microbes from local sources · Simple descriptions of an environment or reports on a procedure · Veterinary, agricultural and clinical topics in which the main focus is not on a microorganism · Data reporting on host response to microbes · Optimization of a procedure · Description of the biological effects of not fully identified compounds or undefined extracts of natural origin · Data on not fully purified enzymes or procedures in which they are applied All articles published in the Journal are independently refereed.
