Methods to Observe Plant Tissue Colonization by Fusarium oxysporum.
Article in Current protocols, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Fusarium oxysporum, an important soil-borne pathogen, causes vascular wilts in more than 100 plant species, leading to billions of dollars in annual yield losses. Controlling Fusarium wilt diseases is challenging due to the persistence of pathogen spores in infested fields and the growing resistance to available fungicides. Understanding the molecular interactions between F. oxysporum and its host plants is crucial for developing novel control strategies, but studying these interactions is difficult because F. oxysporum invades plant roots long before wilt symptoms can be detected in above-ground tissues. To illuminate the hidden interactions between F. oxysporum and its plant hosts, we present three confocal microscopy protocols for visualizing fungal colonization in plant tissues and the associated plant responses. The first protocol employs wheat germ agglutinin-Alexa Fluor 488 and propidium iodide to stain fungal cells and plant host tissues, respectively. The second uses sirofluor to detect deposition of callose, a (1,3)-β-glucan polymer found in plant cell walls that plays a significant role in plant defense. The third utilizes fluorescent protein-tagged fungal isolates and a stable transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana line, providing a clean and easily accessible system for visualizing early infection stages. The protocols described here will shed light on underground plant-pathogen interactions, aiding researchers in unraveling the complex dynamics between diverse F. oxysporum pathotypes and their plant hosts.© 2025 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
