of endophytic fungi with plants modulates the relationship between plants and both biotic and abiotic stresses. It has previously been reported that this endophytic relationship confers additional defensive mechanisms on the modulation of the plant immune system, as the result of the manipulation of dire...
Biotechnological tools have been used for the isolation, identification and in-depth study of many of these microorganisms, and from those researches, biological controls, biopesticides and biofertilizers have been produced. This chapter will focus on general aspects of fungi and bacteria as biological...
Mycorrhizal fungi can be divided into two major groups: aseptate endophytes such as Glomeromycota, or septate Asco- and Basidiomycota (see Box 1 Glossary)2. More commonly, mycorrhiza classifications reflect anatomical aspects and identify two broad categories2, referred to as ectomycorrhizas (EMs...
It is composed of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses. These organisms are able to both prevent disease and cause it.Answer and Explanation: Become a Study.com member to unlock this answer! Create your account View this answer Beneficial Roles: We have indigenous microflora on and inside ...
Many Trichoderma species are aggressive mycoparasites of other fungi; notably T. hamatum is reported to attack Rhizoctonia36 and has been used previously for biological control of fungal diseases37. The biofuel potential of a range of non-food cellulosic feedstock plants is well known5,6. However...
However, responses in lignocellulose mixed cultures are rarely studied in the same detail even though in nature fungi often degrade lignocellulose as mixed communities. Using a dual RNA-seq approach, we describe the first study of the transcriptional responses of wild-type strains of Aspergillus ...
In this chapter we give an overview of fungal and bacterial microbial rhizosphere species that benefit plants, namely plant growth promoting bacteria, mycorrhizal fungi and other beneficial fungi. The aim is to summarize the current knowledge on mechanisms underlying plant-microbe interaction and to ...
(6 mm in diameter) of freshly grown phytopathogenic fungi were placed in the center of the plate, while each bacterial strain was streaked to the edge of the plate. The efficacy of the biocontrol was determined by measuring the growth inhibition zone or growth patterns after 4–7 days of ...
The growth of fungi in the TN-treated leaves of oilseed rape seems to be affected by the plant root treatment by TNs in a complex way. The data indicated that the TNs could cause reduction of the fungal growth inside the leaves but that its virulence effectors were still present and ...
Many aspects of LapF structure and secretion remain to be deciphered. The lapA and lapF genes are distant from each other in Pseudomonas putida genomes. Cyclic-di-GMP: cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate; EPS: extracellular polymeric substances; RTX: repeats-in-toxin; T1SS: type I secretion ...
