Because of the need to provide food for growing population, agricultural activity is faced with huge challenge counteracting negative effects generated by adverse environmental factors and diseases caused pathogens on crops, while avoiding pollution due excessive use agrochemicals. The exploitation biological systems that naturally increase plant vigor, preparing them against biotic abiotic stressors also promote their growth productivity represents a useful viable strategy help face these challenges. Fungi from genus Trichoderma have been widely used in agriculture as biocontrol agents because mycoparasitic capacity ability improve health protection phytopathogens, which makes it an excellent symbiont. mechanisms employed include secretion effector molecules secondary metabolites mediate beneficial interaction plants, providing tolerance stresses. Here we discuss most recent advances understanding this opportunistic symbiont agent promoter. In addition, through genome mining approached less explored factor could be using become successful symbionts, production phytohormones—auxins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, gibberellins, among others. This approach allowed us detect sets genes encoding proteins potentially involved phytohormone biosynthesis signaling. We implications findings physiology fungus establishment its plants.

Abstract Modern taxonomy has developed towards the establishment of global authoritative lists species that assume standardized principles recognition, at least in a given taxonomic group. However, fungi, delimitation is frequently subjective because it depends on choice concept and criteria selected by taxonomist. Contrary to it, identification fungal expected be accurate precise should predict properties are required for applications or relevant pathology. The industrial plant-beneficial fungi from genus Trichoderma (Hypocreales) offer suitable model address this collision between identification. A few decades ago, diversity was limited dozen species. introduction molecular evolutionary methods resulted exponential expansion taxonomy, with up 50 new recognized per year. Here, we have reviewed genus-wide compiled complete inventory all DNA barcoding material deposited public databases (the available website International Subcommission Taxonomy www.trichoderma.info ). Among 375 valid names as July 2020, 361 (96%) been cultivated vitro barcoded. Thus, protocol requires analysis three barcodes (ITS, tef1 , rpb2 ), supported online tools www.trichokey.info .

Plant pathogens represent a major ecological niche they are known to infect most food crops feedstocks for biomass biofuel production. Studying ecology evolution has significant implications our fundamental understanding fungal evolution, their adaptation stress host specificity, practical with regard effects climate change on food, feed, livestock elements agro-economy. In this study, we present first large-scale, whole-genome comparison 101 introducing 55 newly sequenced species.
