Abstract

Fusarium oxysporum is a well-known soil-borne plant pathogen, which causes vascular wilt in agricultural crops worldwide. During the infection process, various virulence factors, such as cell wall-degrading enzymes, as well as effectors and mycotoxins, are secreted by F. oxysporum, which play an important role in fungal pathogenesis. Also, these factors are responsible for the response to abiotic environmental and host stresses. Meanwhile, a number of these transcription factors have been studied, which are necessary for pathogenesis through different mechanisms and pathways. These transcription factors were classified in several families, and the family of zinc finger is the largest family among these families. The current research study has determined the functional role of some of these transcription factors in F. oxysporum, which are were classified in four groups based on their pathogenic role in F. oxysporum. In addition, biological functions, pathways, target domains, homologues of these transcription factors and analysis of the relationship between them were compared. This review presents a classification analysis of genes regulatory to F. oxysporum virulence related.
