BackgroundRalstonia solanacearum causes bacterial wilt disease in tomato and other crops resulting in huge economic losses worldwide. Several measures have been explored for the control of R. solanacearum, but the desired control level of the disease through sustainable and ecofriendly way is still awaited.Main bodyIn this study, fungal metabolites...

To determine the effect of sea salt on the resistance of Trichoderma harzianum LZDX-32-08 to hygromycin B and speculate the possible mechanisms involved via transcriptome analysis. Sea salt addition in media to simulate marine environment significantly increased the tolerance of marine-derived fungus Trichoderma harzianum LZDX-32-08 to hygromycin B...

ABSTRACT. Grapevine trunk diseases are among the most important limiting factors of worldwide viticulture. In this context, we aimed to verify the effect of chemical fungicides, biological agents and plant extracts on the control of Lasiodiplodia theobromae in pruning wounds and their physiological effects in cv. Syrah grapevines. Plant extracts (c...

Heterotrimeric G-proteins are key elements of signal transduction pathways, which participate in regulating multiple biological processes in fungi including growth, conidiation, antagonism, and mycoparasitism. Among G protein subunits, Gα3 showed diverse regulatory functions in different fungi. In this study, we cloned a Gα3 subunit coding gene thg...

A strain isolated from the gut of Pantala flavescens was characterized as Trichoderma harzianum QTYC77. The strain was assessed as a potential biocontrol agent against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (FOC). Mycoparasitism and competing abilities of T. harzianum QTYC77 lead to inhibition of the mycelial growth of FOC, with the inhibition rate ...

Clubroot is a disease of cruciferous crops that causes significant economic losses to vegetable production worldwide. We applied high-throughput amplicon sequencing technology to quantify the effect of Trichoderma harzianum LTR-2 inoculation on the rhizosphere community of Chinese cabbage ( Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis cv. Jiaozhou) in a commerc...

BackgroundPeanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is considered one of the most important legume and oil crops in Egypt. Root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne spp. is the most damaging nematodes of peanut. Losses can exceed 50% in severely infested soil. Application of nematicides is one of the primary strategies in controlling plant-parasitic nematodes. The nemati...

Filamentous fungi are widely used for producing cellulolytic enzymes to degrade lignocellulosic biomass. Microbial resources from Tibet have received great attention due to the unique geographic and climatic conditions in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, studies on cellulase producing fungal strains originated from Tibet remain very limited, and...

Virulent infectious fungal diseases, in natural and managed landscapes, are increasing. Fungal diseases in humans, animals and plants have caused die-off and extinction events and have become a threat to food security. A caving expedition in Yunnan Province, China, revealed two bat carcasses covered in fungal mycelia. Eleven fungal isolates were ob...

A new sordarin derivative, trichosordarin A (1), with a unique norditerpene aglycone was isolated from the culture of a marine-sediment-derived fungal strain, Trichoderma harzianum R5. Its structure and relative configuration were unequivocally identified by a combination of 1D/2D NMR, IR, and mass spectrometric methods. Compound 1 was assayed to b...
