Transcriptomic Analysis of Fusarium solani Response to Antagonistic Peptides Derived from Bacterial Sources
Fusarium solani is an important plant pathogenic fungus responsible for various crop diseases and significant agricultural losses. Biological control using antimicrobial compounds derived from beneficial bacteria represents a promising and environmentally friendly strategy for disease management. In this study, bacterial-derived antagonistic peptides were evaluated for their antifungal activity against Fusarium solani. RNA sequencing was performed to investigate the transcriptomic responses of Fusarium solani following exposure to these antifungal peptides. Differentially expressed genes, functional enrichment analyses, and affected metabolic pathways were analyzed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms involved in fungal growth inhibition and stress responses. This transcriptomic dataset provides valuable insights into the interaction between bacterial antimicrobial peptides and fungal pathogens and contributes to the development of microbial-based strategies for controlling Fusarium-related diseases.
