Cover Story: Verticillium wilt is a significant disease that must be managed by cotton producers around the world. Utilising reporter genes, we analyzed infections of the ascomycete fungus Verticillium dahliae in susceptible cotton hosts. We tagged Australian pathotypes that form distinct lineages of V. dahliae with either green or red fluorescent proteins to understand how it causes diseases in the field.  It was evident that the pathotypes showed in plantae characteristics of a vascular fungal pathogen and induced classic wilt symptoms in cotton plants. Using fluorescence as a marker, we also showed that common weed plant species can act as reservoirs for this pathogen, facilitating infection in subsequent cropping cycles. Our work will aid in the management of this disease in the field. View this paper
