The article presents a study which explores the impairment of the cellulose degradation machinery enhances Fusarium oxysporum virulence but limits its reproductive fitness. It mentions that findings enhance our understanding of the function of plant cell wall degradation on the outcome of host-microbe interactions and reveal an unexpected role of cellulose degradation in a pathogen's reproductive success.
