Bikaverin as a molecular weapon: enhancing Fusarium oxysporum pathogenicity in bananas via rhizosphere microbiome manipulation
Bikaverin plays an indirect yet important role in the pathogenicity of Foc TR4 by manipulating the rhizosphere microbiome. This ecological function underscores its potential as a target for sustainable disease management strategies. Future research should focus on elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying bikaverin-mediated microbial interactions, using integrated approaches such as transcriptomics and metabolomics. Together, these findings provide a foundation for novel approaches to combat banana wilt disease and enhance crop resistance. Video Abstract.
