Para-dichlorobenzene Inhibits Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 by Inducing Membrane Damage, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, and Transcriptional Reprogramming
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4), the causal agent of Fusarium wilt, poses a serious threat to global banana and plantain production. This study investigated the toxicological impact of 1,4-dichlorobenzene (p-DCB), a halogenated aromatic compound from biocontrol bacteria Streptomyces misionensis TF78, on the virulent Foc TR4 strain, combining morphological and transcriptomic analyses.
