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

Screening, identification and evaluation of Trichoderma spp. for biocontrol potential of common bean damping-off pathogens
Marie Amperes Bedine Boat,Modeste Lambert Sameza,Beatrice Iacomi,Severin Nguemezi Tchameni,Fabrice Fekam Boyom +4 more
TL;DR: This is the first report in Cameroon referring to the antagonistic effect of Trichoderma gamsii on soil-borne pathogens complex causing damping-off of common bean and it could be suggested that T. gamsII It-62 should be further investigated as a promising alternative to control common bean damped-off caused by plant pathogens.

Enhance activity of stress related enzymes in rice (Oryza sativa L.) induced by plant growth promoting fungi under drought stress
TL;DR: Quantitative analyses of antioxidant enzymes indicated that plants inoculated with PGPFs showed higher activity of SOD, CAT and POD enzymes as compared to uninoculated plants under severe drought condition, which may be the mechanism through which these P GPFs help plants to alleviate the consequences of drought stress and maintenance of plant homeostasis undersevere drought.
Trichoderma harzianum and pseudomonas sp. mediated management of sclerotium rolfsii rot in tomato (lycopersicon esculentum mill.)
TL;DR: It can be concluded that the application of consortium of compatible bioagents will enhance the plant growth and biological control of phytopathogens in contrast to treatment with single bioagent.

Evaluating effective Trichoderma isolates for biocontrol of Rhizoctonia solani causing root rot of Vigna unguiculata
Chao Wang,Wen-ying Zhuang +1 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the biocontrol potential of eight Trichoderma species found them to have abilities to prompt plant growth and to control R. solani, finding two most effective isolates, T. guizhouense 9185 and T. simmonsii 8702, significantly outperforms the others.

Effects of Trichoderma fermented wheat bran on growth performance, intestinal morphology and histological findings in broiler chickens
TL;DR: Replacing 10% of a basal diet with fermented wheat bran could not only improve growth performance but also provide optimal intestinal morphology in broilers.

Microbial interactions and biocontrol in the rhizosphere
TL;DR: Multiple microbial interactions involving bacteria and fungi in the rhizosphere are shown to provide enhanced biocontrol in many cases in comparison with biocOntrol agents used singly.

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.
