Trichoderma species--opportunistic, avirulent plant symbionts.
TLDR
Root colonization by Trichoderma spp.Abstract:
Trichoderma spp. are free-living fungi that are common in soil and root ecosystems. Recent discoveries show that they are opportunistic, avirulent plant symbionts, as well as being parasites of other fungi. At least some strains establish robust and long-lasting colonizations of root surfaces and penetrate into the epidermis and a few cells below this level. They produce or release a variety of compounds that induce localized or systemic resistance responses, and this explains their lack of pathogenicity to plants. These root-microorganism associations cause substantial changes to the plant proteome and metabolism. Plants are protected from numerous classes of plant pathogen by responses that are similar to systemic acquired resistance and rhizobacteria-induced systemic resistance. Root colonization by Trichoderma spp. also frequently enhances root growth and development, crop productivity, resistance to abiotic stresses and the uptake and use of nutrients.read more

Changes in peptaibol production of Trichoderma species during in vitro antagonistic interactions with fungal plant pathogens
Parisa Rahimi Tamandegani,Tamás Marik,Doustmorad Zafari,Dóra Balázs,Csaba Vágvölgyi,András Szekeres,László Kredics +6 more
TL;DR: The interaction with plant pathogens highly influenced the peptaibol production of the examined Trichoderma strains, with an increase in the total amount of peptaIBols produced during the interactions, as well as some differences in the peptibol profiles between the confrontational and control tests.

Mechanisms Employed by Trichoderma Species in the Biological Control of Plant Diseases: The History and Evolution of Current Concepts.
TL;DR: Past research indicates that the mechanisms are many and varied, even within the genus Trichoderma, and in order to make the most effective use of biocontrol agents for the control of plant diseases, it must understand how the agents work and what their limitations are.

TL;DR: The demonstration that PGPR strains release different volatile blends and that plant growth is stimulated by differences in these volatile blends establishes an additional function for volatile organic compounds as signaling molecules mediating plant–microbe interactions.
