“…In fact, several Fusarium species have been known to contain dispensable mini-chromosomes. These mini-chromosomes stay independently from the other chromosomes, can somehow communicate between neighborhood cells and contribute to the pathogenicity (Nagy et al, 1995;Ma et al, 2010;Ma and Xu, 2019;Peng et al, 2019). However, little is known about the entity of these mini-chromosomes.…”

In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in research interests on the Fusarium species, which includes prevalent plant pathogens and human pathogens, common microbial food contaminants and industrial microbes. Taken the advantage of gibberellin synthesis, Fusarium fujikuroi succeed in being a prevalent plant pathogen. At the meanwhile, F. fujikuroi was utilized for industrial production of gibberellins, a group of extensively applied phytohormone. F. fujikuroi has been known for its outstanding performance in gibberellin production for almost 100 years. Research activities relate to this species has lasted for a very long period. The slow development in biological investigation of F. fujikuroi is largely due to the lack of efficient research technologies and molecular tools. During the past decade, technologies to analyze the molecular basis of host-pathogen interactions and metabolic regulations have been developed rapidly, especially on the aspects of genetic manipulation. At the meanwhile, the industrial fermentation technologies kept sustained development. In this article, we reviewed the currently available research tools/methods for F. fujikuroi research, focusing on the topics about genetic engineering and gibberellin production.

“…For example, strains of F. graminearum differ in their trichothecene production profiles: DON chemotype strains produce deoxynivalenol, nivalenol (NIV) chemotype strains produce nivalenol, whereas DON-NIV chemotype strains produce both deoxynivalenol and nivalenol (Sugiura et al, 1990). Genetically isolated lineages of F. sporotrichioides, a fungus with no known sexual stage also show strikingly different secondary metabolite profiles (Nagy and Hornok, 1995). Continuous monitoring of field populations of toxigenic fungi is an important research priority.…”
