Analysis characterizes molecular responses to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum in resistant cotton, highlighting casparian strip role.

Plants resistant to FOV4 show significant upregulation of casparian strip reinforcement genes, enhancing infection defense.
RNA sequencing revealed key differentially expressed genes linked to chitinase activity and reactive oxygen species metabolism.
The study utilized an in vitro infection assay comparing two gossypium barbadense cultivars with different resistance levels.
Findings suggest that increasing cell wall barrier fortification may mitigate disease impacts on cotton yield.

Parris et al. (2025) studied this question.
