The present work aimed to apply mutagenesis and inter-specific protoplast fusion techniques of two locally isolated Hypocrea and Trichoderma to enhancement their biocontrol abilities against some important plant fungal pathogens which cause damping-off diseases that attacking different crops. The mutants were selected after EMS/UV treatment of Trichoderma isolates. The obtained protoplasts were...

Trichoderma asperellum and cucumber seedlings were used as a model to study the modulation of Trichoderma gene expression during plant root colonization. Seedlings were grown in an aseptic hydroponics medium and inoculated with Trichoderma spore suspension. Proteins differentially secreted into the medium were isolated. Three major proteins of fungal origin were identified: two arabinofuranosid...

The use of biological control agents such as entomopathogenic fungi is an alternative for the kale(Brassica oleracea L.) defoliating caterpillars. objective was to investigate efficacy entomopathogenicfungi Amazon region in caterpillars kale and their impacts on physiologicaland agronomic responses crop. Field greenhouse experiments were conducted randomized blockdesign completely design, respe...

Capsicum annuum (Chilli) is an important spice crop grown in tropical and subtropical areas of India. Chilli suffers from several diseases, out which anthracnose chilli one the diseases. Keeping view negative impact fungicides on environment, experimentwas conducted to evaluate Trichoderma isolates against disease chilli. spp. are being usedto control plant diseases sustainable management syste...

Potato common scab causes significant economic losses worldwide, and current control methods remain ineffective. However, biological have been effective in controlling phytopathogens several other crops. Trichoderma spp. Bacillus subtilis are the most studied microorganisms agriculture for plant diseases. interactions between these agents organic matter present at cultivation site not extensive...

Currently, the catalytic residue of highly prolific fungal β-glucosidase (BGL) Trichoderma asperellum UC1 remains unvalidated. The study used alanine scanning method to confirm residues BGL as Glu165, Asp226, and Glu423. This cancels out all intermolecular hydrogen bonds with substrates, lignin, hemicellulose, cellulose. Results revealed an overall decline in stability energy-minimized mutant e...
