Description
Verticillium is a soil-dwelling fungal group known for its distinctive whorled branching pattern. It can cause wilting diseases in many plants by invading their vascular systems. Some species produce long-lasting survival structures called microsclerotia. Verticillium has been studied for potential use in biological control of insect pests and plant pathogens.
