trichoderma spp. are known as efficient plant growth promoting agents. hence, enrichment of soil by appropriate population of trichoderma is useful and important for effective plant growth promote. present study aimed to investigate the plant growth promoting effects of five strains of the genus trichoderma species include: trichoderma harzianum tr6, t. harzianum t22, t. asperellum t34, t. atro...

A recent study describes direct binding between a gammadelta T-cell receptor and its ligand, T22, a non-classical class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule. A companion study, solving the crystal structure of T22, highlights the differences between this interaction and those of classical MHC molecules and alphabeta T cells.

Soil applications with poultry refuse, cocodust, vermicompost, ash, sawdust, khudepana, cowdung, solarized sand, Trichoderma harzianum and or with seed treatment by T. harzianum were evaluated against damping off disease complex of potato and chilli. All the treatments significantly reduced percent damping off over control. T. harzianum treated seed along with soil treatment with T. harzianum p...

Expression of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 by tumor cells promotes metastasis, possibly by activating prosurvival signals that render cancer cells resistant to immune attack. Inhibition of CXCR4 with a peptide antagonist, T22, blocks metastatic implantation of CXCR4-transduced B16 (CXCR4-luc-B16) melanoma cells in lung, but not the outgrowth of established metastases, raising the question of ho...

In this study, dual culture, poison agar, and direct methods were used to assess the ability of Trichoderma virens IMI-392430, T. pseudokoningii IMI-392431, T. harzianum IMI-392432, T. harzianum IMI-392433, and T. harzianum IMI-392434 to control Ceratocystis paradoxa, which causes the pineapple disease of sugarcane. The highest percentage inhibition of radial growth (PIRG) values were observed ...

The capability of the bio-control agent Trichoderma harzianum to trigger plant growth and improvement in biomass response was investigated by inoculating roots of medicinal plant (Ocimum sanctum) seedlings with Trichoderma harzianum in pots, under aseptic, green house environmental conditions. Trichoderma harzianum was isolated from ten different agro climatic zones of Karnataka. Biological and...

Trichoderma fungi are promising candidates for biocontrol agents and plant growth promoters. atrobrunneum T. simmonsii were evaluated the control of soil-borne phytopathogenic fungi, in present study. Dual culture tests with Rhizoctonia solani Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici used to conduct vitro evaluation. In presence Trichoderma, phytopathogen’s rate was inhibited up 59.70% R. 42.57% F...

The in vitro biocontrol ability of Trichoderma harzianum on the phytopathogen Alternaria alternata improved in the presence of the growth regulators gibberellic acid (GA3), or indolacetic acid (IAA) or benzylaminopurine (BAP) or foliar nutrient at concentrations similar or higher than those used at the field level. These plant hormones decreased the secretion of endopolygalacturonase (endo-PG) ...
