Genetics and Genomics of Fusarium Wilt of Chilies: A Review

Hot pepper (<i>Capsicum annum</i> L.) is a major spice crop and is used worldwide for its nutritional value. In the field, its plant is susceptible to various fungal diseases, including fusarium wilt, caused by soil-borne fungus <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> f. sp. <i>capsi...

In the field, its plant is susceptible to various fungal diseases, including fusarium wilt, caused by soil-borne fungus <i>Fusarium oxysporum</i> f. sp. <i>capsici</i>, which can survive in the soil for several years. The infected plant can be recognized by the yellowing of older leaves and downward curling of apical shoots, followed by plant wilting and ultimately the death of the plant. The resistance mechanism in plants is controlled by a single dominant gene, and conventional plant breeding techniques are used to develop a wilt-resistant germplasm. Non-conventional techniques such as gene pyramiding and expression enhancement of antifungal genes could be used to shorten the time to develop resistance against fusarium wilt in hot peppers. In this review, we discuss different aspects of the disease and the molecular basis of resistance in chili/hot pepper plants.
