Trichoderma species are opportunistic fungi residing primarily in soil, tree bark and on wild
mushrooms. Trichoderma is capable of killing other fungi and penetrating plant roots, and is …

Trichoderma spp.(Hypocreales) are used worldwide as a lucrative biocontrol agent. The
interactions of Trichoderma spp. with host plants and pathogens at a molecular level are …

Decoding the mechanisms of plant defense against plant pathogens in a scenario where
antagonistic activity and the plant growth-promoting effects of useful organisms intervene …

Plants are capable of perceiving microorganisms by coordinating processes to establish
different forms of plant–microbe relationships. Plant colonization is governed in fungal and …

Currently, the food and economic losses generated by the attack of phytopathogens on the
agricultural sector constitute a severe problem. Conventional crop protection techniques …

Background Trichoderma spp. can establish beneficial interactions with plants by promoting
plant growth and defense systems, as well as, antagonizing fungal phytopathogens in …

Large losses before crop harvesting are caused by plant pathogens, such as viruses,
bacteria, oomycetes, fungi, and nematodes. Among these, fungi are the major cause of …

In Nature, almost every plant is colonized by fungi. Trichoderma virens is a biocontrol fungus
which has the capacity to behave as an opportunistic plant endophyte. Even though many …

Since the initial finding of Trichoderma as a biocontrol agent, efforts have been largely
focused on understanding the role of glycosyl hydrolases and antibiotics in mycoparasitism …

Expansins are small proteins that loosen plant cell walls and cellulosic materials without lytic
activity. First discovered in plants, expansin genes are found in the genomes of numerous …
