Streptomyces and Bacillus species utilize volatile organic compounds to impact Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. vasinfectum race 4 (Fov4) virulence and suppress Fusarium wilt in Pima cotton

This study shows that Bacillus Rz141 and Streptomyces HC658 produce volatile organic compounds that inhibit Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. vasinfectum race 4 growth and reduce its virulence on Pima cotton.

Soil-free pathogenicity assay of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. vasinfectum race 4 on Pima cotton (Gossypium barbadense) seedlings

The paper develops a soil-free assay to study Fusarium wilt caused by Fov4 in pima cotton seedlings, showing significant symptom development and pathogen colonization.
