Abstract

The genus Curvularia comprises globally distributed phytopathogenic fungi that predominantly infect grasses, including various Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs). Despite its ecological and agricultural significance, studies on the morphology, phenotypic diversity, and infection mechanisms of Curvularia in MAPs remains scarce. Taxonomic understanding of this genus has also evolved over time, with repeated revisions and reclassifications. This review presents a chronicle key discovery, taxonomic updates, and systematic advancements in Curvularia research. Known to severely impact the Poaceae family, staple crops, and MAPs (Rauvolfia, Ocimum spp., Aloe vera, and Curcuma spp.) Curvularia employ diverse genes to disrupt host metabolic pathways, inducing physiological dysfunctions disease symptoms. Here, we consolidate global reports on Curvularia-associated diseases in MAPs, analysing host-pathogen interactions across geographical regions. Furthermore, we explore the disease cycle, biochemical infection strategies, and molecular pathogenesis to elucidate fungal virulence. A dedicated focus is placed on Curvularia-derived secondary metabolites and toxins, highlighting their role in host manipulation and pathogenicity. By integrating these insights, this review aims to address critical knowledge gaps and direct future research on Curvularia-MAPs interactions.

探索曲曲霉病原菌对药用和芳香植物的影响:对历史,致病性和宿主-病原体相互作用的见解。
曲霉属由分布于全球的植物致病真菌组成,主要感染禾本科植物,包括各种药用和芳香植物(MAPs)。尽管曲霉属植物具有重要的生态和农业意义,但对曲霉属植物的形态、表型多样性和侵染机制的研究仍然很少。对这一属的分类学认识也随着时间的推移而发展,经过反复的修订和重新分类。本文综述了曲菌属研究的主要发现、分类更新和系统进展。已知严重影响豆科,主要作物和MAPs (Rauvolfia, Ocimum spp,芦荟和姜黄spp)。曲霉属利用多种基因破坏宿主代谢途径,引起生理功能障碍疾病症状。在这里,我们整合了map中曲虫相关疾病的全球报告,分析了跨地理区域的宿主-病原体相互作用。此外,我们探讨疾病周期、生化感染策略和分子发病机制来阐明真菌的毒力。一个专门的重点放在曲霉衍生的次生代谢物和毒素,突出其在宿主操纵和致病性中的作用。通过整合这些见解,本综述旨在解决关键的知识空白,并指导未来对Curvularia-MAPs相互作用的研究。

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.
