Efficacy of L-arabinose in managing cucumber Fusarium wilt and the underlying mechanism of action.
Article in Pest management science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCucumber Fusarium wilt (CFW), triggered by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum, leads to substantial yield reductions in global cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) production. Common management strategies for CFW include soil fumigation, grafting, and crop rotation. However, these methods have limitations regarding safety and efficacy stability, necessitating the development of new, cost-effective, and eco-friendly control strategies. Our prior research demonstrated that L-arabinose, an inexpensive and safe sugar commonly used in food and beverages, effectively suppressed bacterial wilt in tomatoes. This study explores the potential of L-arabinose in managing CFW and investigates its mechanism of action.
resultsSoil applications of L-arabinose, ranging from 0.00001 to 0.01%, effectively suppressed CFW. The most significant suppressive effect was observed at 0.01%, reducing the disease severity index by 67.5% compared to the control treatment. Microscopic examination of transverse root sections showed that pathogen hyphae colonized the epidermis but seldom penetrated the cortical layer of roots in L-arabinose-treated seedlings. In contrast, the entire root tissue of control seedlings was colonized by the pathogen. Quantitative real-time PCR revealed a significant increase in the expression of defense-related genes dependent on salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, and ethylene in L-arabinose-treated plants compared to control plants, 6 and 10 days post pathogen inoculation.
conclusionThis study demonstrated that soil application of L-arabinose can effectively suppress CFW by priming root tissues for multiple defense signaling pathways. Therefore, L-arabinose holds potential as a new fungicide for managing CFW. © 2024 The Author(s). Pest Management Science published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of Society of Chemical Industry.
