Rosa Hermosa

TL;DR: A mini-review summarizes the main findings concerning the Trichoderma-plant interaction, the molecular dialogue between the two organisms, and the dramatic changes induced by the beneficial fungus in the plant as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A better understanding of mycoparasitism is offered, and the development of improved biocontrol strains for efficient and environmentally friendly protection of plants is enforced.

TL;DR: Monoconidial cultures of 15 isolates of Trichoderma harzianum were characterized on the basis of 82 morphological, physiological, and biochemical features and 99 isoenzyme bands from seven enzyme systems revealing four distinct groups which were subjected to numerical analysis.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the complex plant defense signaling network that allows the recognition of fungi as non-hostile microbes, including microbial-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), damage-associated molecules (DAMPs) and secreted elicitors, and examines how fungal interactions with plant receptors can activate induced resistance by priming and balancing plant defense and growth responses.

TL;DR: Results indicate that hsp70 confers tolerance to heat and other abiotic stresses and that the fungal HSP70 protein acts as a negative regulator of the HSF transcriptional activity in Arabidopsis.
