| Mutualistic association of Paecilomyces formosus LHL10 offers thermotolerance to Cucumis sativus. | We investigated in this study the influence of an endophytic fungus, Paecilomyces formosus LHL10, on the thermotolerance of cucumber (Cucumis sativus) upon exposure to high (38°C) and low (8°C) temperature stresses. The results showed that endophyte-inoculated plants had significantly higher plant growth attributes under high-temperature stress. However, they were either low or insignificant in non-inoculated control and inoculated plants with 8°C treatments. Lower stress-promulgated water defic ... | 2011 | 21956658 |
| endophytic fungal association via gibberellins and indole acetic acid secretion can improve plant growth potential in abiotic stress: an example of paecilomyces formosus lhl10. | abstract: background: endophytic fungi are little known for exogenous secretion of phytohormones and mitigation of salinity stress, which is a major limiting factor for agriculture production worldwide. current study was designed to isolate phytohormones producing endophytic fungus from the roots of cucumber plants and identify its role in plant growth and stress tolerance under saline conditions. results: we isolated nine endophytic fungi from the roots of cucumber plant and screened their cul ... | 2012 | 22235902 |
