The aim of the present study was to examine the abilities of twenty-four isolates belonging to ten different Trichoderma species (i.e., Trichoderma atroviride, Trichoderma citrinoviride, Trichoderma cremeum, Trichoderma hamatum, Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma koningiopsis, Trichoderma longibrachiatum, Trichoderma longipile, Trichoderma viride and Trichoderma viridescens) to inhibit the myce...

Abstract Cereal production in Australia is severely impacted by diseases such as Fusarium crown rot (caused predominantly pseudograminearum ) and common root Bipolaris sorokiniana ). These are particularly difficult to manage because inoculum can survive at least three years within cereal stubble, or four soil the case of B. . Microwave radiation may be able reduce eliminate stubble soil. Sever...

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is an important plant pathogenic fungus of many crops. Our previous study identified the S. agglutinin (SSA) that can be partially degraded by serine protease CmSp1 from mycoparasite Coniothyrium minitans. However, biological functions SSA in pathogenicity and its response to infection C. minitans, as well environmental stresses, remain unknown. In this study, disruptio...

Wheat/soybean rotation is an important double-cropping system in the Huang-Huai-Hai plain of China. Continuous soybean cropping could cause soil quality deterioration and plant growth inhibition. However, effects continuous wheat/soybean on rhizosphere microbes remain largely unknown. In this study, we compared yield microbial community between winter wheat/summer (W/S) with two harvests one ye...
