trichoderma harzianum strain sqr-t37 and its bio-organic fertilizer could control rhizoctonia solani damping-off disease in cucumber seedlings mainly by the mycoparasitism.damping-off disease is caused by rhizoctonia solani and leads to serious loss in many crops. biological control is an efficient and environmentally friendly way to prevent damping-off disease. optical micrographs, scanning electron micrographs, and the determination of hydrolytic enzymes were used to investigate the antagonism of trichoderma harzianum sqr-t37 (sqr-t37) against r. solani. experiments were performed in pots to assess the in vivo disease-control efficiency of sqr-t37 and bio-organi ...201121484203
the overexpression in arabidopsis thaliana of a trichoderma harzianum gene that modulates glucosidase activity, and enhances tolerance to salt and osmotic stresses.using the trichoest database, generated in a previous functional genomics project from the beneficial filamentous fungus trichoderma harzianum, a gene named thkel1, which codes for a putative kelch-repeat protein, was isolated and characterized. silencing of this gene in t. harzianum leads to a reduction of glucosidase activity and mycelial growth under abiotic stress conditions. expression of this gene in arabidopsis enhances plant tolerance to salt and osmotic stresses, accompanied by an incre ...201121466906
a novel l-amino acid oxidase from trichoderma harzianum ets 323 associated with antagonism of rhizoctonia solani.trichoderma spp. are used as biocontrol agents against phytopathogens such as rhizoctonia solani, but their biocontrol mechanisms are poorly understood. a novel l-amino oxidase (th-laao) was identified from the extracellular proteins of trichoderma harzianum ets 323. here, we show a fad-binding glycoprotein with the best substrate specificity constant for l-phenylalanine. although the amino acid sequence of th-laao revealed limited homology (16-24%) to other laao members, a highly conserved fad- ...201121456553
trichoderma harzianum might impact phosphorus transport by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.trichoderma sp. is a biocontrol agent active against plant pathogens via mechanisms such as mycoparasitism. recently, it was demonstrated that trichoderma harzianum was able to parasitize the mycelium of an arbuscular mycorrhizal (am) fungus, thus affecting its viability. here, we question whether this mycoparasitism may reduce the capacity of glomus sp. to transport phosphorus ((33)p) to its host plant in an in vitro culture system. (33)p was measured in the plant and in the fungal mycelium in ...201121609342
comparison of real-time pcr and microscopy to evaluate sclerotial colonisation by a biocontrol fungus.the biocontrol agent trichoderma harzianum colonises sclerotia of the plant pathogenic fungus sclerotinia sclerotiorum. plating of sclerotia typically has been used to determine the incidence of mycoparasitism, but does not quantify the extent to which individual sclerotia are colonised. we developed a specific pcr primer/probe set for the green fluorescent protein (gfp)-transformant t. harzianum thzid1-m3, which exhibited high precision and reproducibility. quantitative real-time pcr was evalua ...201121530913

L-amino acid oxidase-induced apoptosis in filamentous Botrytis cinerea.As opposed to single-cell yeast and mammalian cell lines, apoptosis has not been greatly investigated in filamentous fungi because antibodies to the relevant fungal apoptosis-related proteins are not available commercially and because multicellular organisms cannot be studied using flow cytometry. Here we demonstrate how antibodies from a nonfungal source could be used to investigate this pathway. We show that apoptosis in the filamentous fungus Botrytis cinerea is triggered by the mitochondria- ...201221951783
