ABSTRACT

Whenever there is a loss of rigidity in non-woody parts of the plant, it refers to as Wilting. It results in the lowering of water availability in that area. Growth of plant gets affected in wilting. The roles of suppressive compost are being discussed as it is considered as a effective way to overcome soil borne plant pathogens. Nitrogen, is one of the most important minerals that works in plant-pathogen interactions. Different N forms were used to investigate their effects on Cucumber Fusarium wilt. A lower leaf temperature was observed in plants that were fed with NO^3- than those with NH4+. Also, a combined approach of genome-wide association mapping and gene co-expression network analysis was used to identify the genetic basis of the resistance to Goss’s wilt. On Dry Beans, the infection by the bacteria causes an interveinal chlorosis on leaflets and thus leading to necrosis followed by wilts. Biological control agents (BCA) can be preferred solutions against bacterial wilt diseases. Avirulent strains of Pseudomonas spp., Bacillus spp, etc. are commonly used BCAs. Enhanced soil microbes are also directly involved in disease suppression. BTH (Benzothiadiazole) serves as an Salicylic acid analogue that may mediate the induction of the Host defense mechanism. Ralstonia solanacearum thrives plant xylem sap and causes bacterial wilt that spreads from infected plant sap to healthy plant sap. Nicotiana attenuata, is a native American tobacco plant that had experienced a crop failure due to a sudden wilt disease. Host- induced gene silencing (HIGS) – an RNAi based process is used to improve the plant resistance against pathogens by silencing the essential pathogen genes. Traditional remedies are discussed and also the relation of the soil with the wilting. Insertion of GhDSC1 into Arabidopsis confers verticillium resistance in a mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana dsc1. Biocontrol Agents (BCAs) are also used as solutions to overcome Verticillium wilts. The most common ones with potential against Verticillium were endophytic Bacillus and Pseudomonas isolates and non-pathogenic xylem colonizing Verticillium and Fusarium. In Soyabean, QTL (Quantitative Traits Loci) control the slow canopy wilting. Slow wilting phenotypes of soybean have been successful in tiding against the drought stress condition. A repeated greenhouse experiment was conducted with the check genotypes. QTL mapping has enabled to figure out the association of SLW soybean with drought tolerance and atleast two distinct water mechanisms.
