blight, caused by mycosphaerella rabiei is the most important disease of chickpea in iran. in order to find a method for the biological control of the disease, the inhibitory effect of 36 isolates of three species, trichoderma harzianum, t. virens and t. atroviride, on a most virulent isolate of the pathogen, in hyperparasitism, dual culture, and production of volatile antibiotic compounds were...

The use of fungi the genus Trichoderma spp. for control plant diseases it has proved to be an important and promising tool, mainly tomato crop production system, however, there are difficulties in establishing bioagent. This work aimed evaluate effect substrate incubation time after inoculation with harzianum damping-off seedlings. experimental design was completely randomized, consisting six t...

in order to investigate the effects of municipal waste compost and benefit fungi of trichoderma species on seedling emergence parameters, growth and some micronutrients uptake of garden cress a pot experiment was carried out in factorial arrangement based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications. treatments consisted of three levels of municipal waste compost (15, 30, 45 mg ha-1 ...

We investigated the properties of platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) derived from Trichoderma harzianum. The enzyme, comprised of 572 amino acids, shares high homology with PAF-AH proteins from T. koningii and other microbial species. The optimum enzymatic activity of PAF-AH occurred at pH 6 in the absence of Ca2+ and it localized in the cytoplasm, and we observed the upregulat...

The potential of the biocontrol agent Trichoderma harzianum T-203 to trigger plant defense responses was investigated by inoculating roots of cucumber seedlings with Trichoderma in an aseptic, hydroponic system. Trichoderma-treated plants were more developed than nontreated plants throughout the experiment. Electron microscopy of ultrathin sections from Trichoderma-treated roots revealed penetr...
