In this study, yeast HOG1 homologue from the root endophyte Piriformospora indica (PiHOG1) was isolated and functionally characterized. Functional expression of PiHOG1 in S. cerevisiae ∆hog1 mutant restored osmotolerance under high osmotic stress. Knockdown (KD) transformants of PiHOG1 generated by RNA interference in P. indica showed that genes for the HOG pathway, osmoresponse and salinity to...

This work evaluated the impact of exogenous soil inoculation of beneficial fungal strain Piriformospora indica on phytochemical changes and the related genes expression of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris ssp. chinensis L.) by greenhouse pot experiments. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) affirmed that among the different combinations of fungal and organic fertilizer treatments, ...

Currently, commercializing the Piriformospora indica fungal formulation using magnesium sulphite as a carrier with the registered trade name “Rootonic”. It enhances the plant growth, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance and also increases the accessibility of nutrients to plants. Biotic stress and nutritional deficiency i.e. zinc in soil are the two important factor for the deteriotion of grain ...

Medicinal plants are well known to have the advantages of high concentration medicinal ingredients having clinical importance, curative value, small toxic and side effects. Important compounds viz., paclitaxel, camptothecin, vincristine been developed from as first-line drugs, leading their consistently increasing demand globally. However, destruction natural environment due excessive mining th...

salinity is one of the major problems in the world's vast areas of land are also faced with this problem. endophytes are microorganisms that use of the soil microorganisms, the reduction of environmental stresses such as salinity, has become a global solution. therefore, to investigate the effects of inoculation of fungal endophytes piriformospora indica and bacteria symbiosis hay azospiri...
