Verticillium wilt is a fungal disease that affects more than 300 host plant species, including, in addition to woody ornamental plants, a variety of garden and greenhouse crops, most notably elms, magnolias, maples, redbuds, and viburnums Plant. Caused by the soil-borne pathogens Verticillium dahliae and V. albo-atrum, they often cause plant stunting, leaf wilt, vascular yellowing and browning, and ultimately premature death of some plants. There are currently no fungicides that can control infected plants, so Verticillium wilt causes widespread economic losses.

V. dahliae can infect various dicotyledonous species, including cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, Arabidopsis, and others. It usually invades and colonizes the roots of plants and then spreads throughout the plant. V. dahliae begins to infect the plant's roots through the soil, and hyphae penetrate the surface of the plant roots to colonize the vascular bundles, leading to plant death. The vascular wilt fungus can survive in the soil for many years, and the only effective control measure is soil fumigation, which is expensive and harms the environment. Their large economic impact, coupled with the lack of treatments, justifies increased attention to vascular blight. However, to design new control strategies, it is crucial to understand the biology of vascular pathogens.

What We Offer

Lifeasible provides services for plant resistance to Verticillium Wilt analysis for clients worldwide, focusing on the functional analysis of key genes for V. dahliae growth and pathogenicity. Our experts explore genes associated with V. dahliae resistance from various perspectives, such as extracellular enzymes, the cell wall, PRRs, transcription factors, and SA/JA/ET-related signal transduction pathways. We aim to provide a theoretical basis for understanding the molecular genetic mechanism of V. dahliae resistance in plants and to discover more genes related to V. dahliae resistance.

We provide molecular biology techniques and integrated multi-omics analysis methods to analyze plant resistance to V. dahliae genes and to study plant interactions with V. flavus. In addition, we are committed to developing crop varieties resistant to V. dahliae through genetic engineering and breeding techniques. We analyze the following plants susceptible to V. dahliae disease:
