“…It is found in ponds, rivers, sewage facilities, water pipes, larvae and adults of the picnic beetle, and a symbiote of the ambrosia beetle ( Šišić et al, 2018 ). It infects plants through developing plant roots to produce asexual macro- and microconidia dispersed through wind and rain ( Shakeel et al, 2020 ). Morphologically, Fusarium solani is unique because, unlike most Fusarium species that form a pink or violet centre when cultured, it forms white and cottony colonies with a blue-green or bluish brown colour ( Chehri et al, 2015 ).…”

Fusarium solani is worrisome because it severely threatens the agricultural productivity of certain crops such as tomatoes and peas, causing the general decline, wilting, and root necrosis. It has also been implicated in the infection of the human eye cornea. It is believed that early detection of the fungus could save these crops from the destructive activities of the fungus through early biocontrol measures. Therefore, the present work aimed to build a sensitive model of novel anti-Fusarium solani antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) against the fungal cutinase 1 (CUT1) protein for early, sensitive and accurate detection. Fusarium solani CUT1 receptor protein 2D secondary structure, model validation, and functional motifs were predicted. Subsequently, anti-Fusarium solani AMPs were retrieved, and the HMMER in silico algorithm was used to construct a model of the AMPs. After their structure predictions, the interaction analysis was analyzed for the Fusarium solani CUT1 protein and the generated AMPs. The putative anti-Fusarium solani AMPs bound the CUT1 protein very tightly, with OOB4 having the highest binding energy potential for HDock. The pyDockWeb generated high electrostatic, desolvation, and low van der Waals energies for all the AMPs against CUT1 protein, with OOB1 having the most significant interaction. The results suggested the utilization of AMPs for the timely intervention, control, and management of these crops, as mentioned earlier, to improve their agricultural productivity and reduce their economic loss and the use of HMMER for constructing models for disease detection.
