The growing global population has intensified concerns about food security, making it essential to produce crops sustainably meet increasing demands without harming the environment. In this regard, biological control agents (BCAs) have recently gained more attention owing their potential manage fungal diseases of crops, particularly in Solanaceae family. proper use selected BCAs such as Trichoderma spp., Bacillus Pseudomonas fluorescens, Beauveria bassiana, and Gliocladium spp. several benefits for crops. This review aims summarize effectiveness various strategies We also provide basic knowledge on along with suggestions further research reduce severity these destructive diseases.

A Comprehensive Review of the Diversity of Fungal Secondary Metabolites and Their Emerging Applications in Healthcare and Environment

Mycobiology, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 52(6), С. 335 - 387

Опубликована: Ноя. 1, 2024

Fungi and their natural products, like secondary metabolites, have gained a huge demand in the last decade due to increasing applications healthcare, environmental cleanup, biotechnology-based industries. The fungi produce these metabolites (SMs) during different phases of growth, which are categorized into terpenoids, alkaloids, polyketides, non-ribosomal peptides. These SMs exhibit significant biological activity, contributes formulation novel pharmaceuticals, biopesticides, bioremediation agents. Nowadays, fungal-derived widely used food beverages, for fermentation, preservatives, protein sources, dairy In it is being as an antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive drug. usage modern tools biotechnology can achieve increase large-scale production. present review comprehensively analyses diversity fungal along with emerging agriculture, sustainability, nutraceuticals. Here, authors reviewed recent advancements genetic engineering, metabolic pathway manipulation, synthetic biology improve production yield SMs. Advancement fermentation techniques, bioprocessing, co-cultivation approaches Investigators further highlighted importance omics technologies understanding regulation biosynthesis SMs, offers drug discovery sustainable agriculture. Finally, addressed potential manipulation biotechnological innovations exploitation commercial benefits.

Synergistic effects of Rahnella aquatilis and Trichoderma orientale in biocontrol of common bacterial blight in bean

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 35(1)

Опубликована: Март 7, 2025

Abstract Background Common bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Xap), is a major disease affecting bean plants. While biocontrol agents have been explored to manage plant diseases, there limited research on the combined use of multiple for controlling blight. This study aimed evaluate efficacy bacterium Rahnella aquatilis (Ra) and fungus Trichoderma orientale (TO), used singly or in combination, protecting plants against this disease. Results In vitro experiments, R. T. strongly inhibited Xap growth exhibited significant zinc phosphate solubilization abilities. Under greenhouse conditions, treatments with Ra, TO, their combination significantly suppressed incidence, achieving reductions 69, 56, 70%, respectively. Both decreased pathogen load leaf tissues improved seed germination rates, which reached 92 82% Ra respectively, compared 67% infected control. Additionally, treated showed increased fresh dry weights roots shoots untreated Conclusion demonstrates that application an effective eco-friendly strategy common blight beans. These synergistically reduced severity, enhanced growth, germination, emphasizing utility sustainable agriculture.
