Trichoderma–plant–pathogen interactions
Francesco Vinale,Krishnapillai Sivasithamparam,Emilio L. Ghisalberti,Roberta Marra,Sheridan L. Woo,Matteo Lorito +5 more
TL;DR: A better understanding of molecular factors involved in this complex tripartite interaction is expected to enhance not only the rapid identification of effective strains and their applications but also indicate the potentials for improvement of natural strains of Trichoderma.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel role for Trichoderma secondary metabolites in the interactions with plants
Francesco Vinale,Krishnapillai Sivasithamparam,Emilio L. Ghisalberti,Roberta Marra,Martin J. Barbetti,Hua Li,Sheridan L. Woo,Matteo Lorito +7 more
TL;DR: Results clearly indicate that secondary metabolites of Trichoderma spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salicylic acid induces salinity tolerance in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Roma): associated changes in gas exchange, water relations and membrane stabilisation
TL;DR: SA, when used in appropriate concentrations, alleviates salinity stress without compromising the plants ability for growth under a favourable environment, indicating possible protection of integrity of the cellular membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-streptomycete actinomycetes as biocontrol agents of soil-borne fungal plant pathogens and as plant growth promoters
TL;DR: Some of the NSA, including endophytic strains that have shown potential to suppress soil-borne fungal plant pathogens, are able to employ one or more mechanisms of antagonism including antibiosis, hyperparasitism and the production of cell-wall degrading enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological control of Sclerotinia minor using a chitinolytic bacterium and actinomycetes
Khaled A. El-Tarabily,M.H. Soliman,Amr H. Nassar,H.A. Al-Hassani,Krishnapillai Sivasithamparam,F. McKenna,G.E.St.J. Hardy +6 more
TL;DR: The three isolates, Serratia marcescens, Streptomyces viridodiasticus and Micromonospora carbonacea, significantly reduced the growth of Sclerotinia minor in vitro, and produced high levels of chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase.
