Frontiers in Microbiology, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 11

Опубликована: Май 25, 2020

Plant-parasitic-nematodes represent a major threat to the agricultural production of different crops worldwide. Due high toxicity chemical nematicides, it is necessary develop new control strategies against nematodes. In this respect, filamentous fungi can be an interesting biocontrol alternative. The genus Trichoderma, mycorrhizal and endophytic are main groups studied used as biological agents (BCAs) nematodes resistance inducers. They able reduce damage caused by plant-parasitic directly parasitism, antibiosis, paralysis lytic enzymes. But they also minimise harm space resource-competition, providing higher nutrient water uptake plant, or modifying root morphology, and/or rhizosphere interactions, that constitutes advantage for plant-growth. Besides, induce activating hormone-mediated (salicylic jasmonic acid, strigolactones among others) plant-defence mechanisms. Additionally, alteration transport defence components through plant synthesis secondary metabolites enzymes contribute enhancing defences. Therefore, use mentioned BCAs promising durable strategy in agriculture

Endophytes and their potential in biotic stress management and crop production

Frontiers in Microbiology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 13

Опубликована: Окт. 17, 2022

Biotic stress is caused by harmful microbes that prevent plants from growing normally and also having numerous negative effects on agriculture crops globally. Many biotic factors such as bacteria, fungi, virus, weeds, insects, nematodes are the major constrains of tends to increase reactive oxygen species affect physiological molecular functioning led decrease in crop productivity. Bacterial fungal endophytes solution overcome tasks faced with conventional farming, these environment friendly microbial commodities colonize plant tissues without causing any damage. Endophytes play an important role host fitness, uptake nutrients, synthesis phytohormone diminish injury triggered pathogens via antibiosis, production lytic enzymes, secondary metabolites, hormone activation. They reported help coping stress, improving soil health, respectively. Therefore, usage biofertilizers biocontrol agent have developed eco-friendly substitute destructive chemicals for development mitigation stress. Thus, this review highlighted potential biofertilizers, agent, maintenance health sustainable agriculture.

Опубликована: Окт. 13, 2022

Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are among the most notorious and underrated threats to food security plant health worldwide, compromising crop yields causing billions of dollars losses annually. Chemical control strategies rely heavily on synthetic chemical nematicides reduce PPN population densities, but their use is being progressively restricted due environmental human concerns, so alternative methods urgently needed. Here, we review potential bacterial fungal agents suppress important PPNs, namely Aphelenchoides besseyi, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, Ditylenchus dipsaci, Globodera spp., Heterodera Meloidogyne Nacobbus aberrans, Pratylenchus Radopholus similis, Rotylenchulus reniformis, Xiphinema index.

Abstract The discipline of plant pathology has an expanding remit requiring a multi-faceted, interdisciplinary approach to capture the complexity interactions for any given disease, disease complex or syndrome. This review discussed recent developments in research and identifies some key issues that, we anticipate, must be faced meet food security environmental challenges that will arise over coming decades. In meeting these issues, challenge turn is community respond by contributing wider forum multidisciplinary research, recognising impact depend not just on advances alone, but more broadly with other agricultural ecological sciences, needs national global policies regulation. A readily met once pathologists again gather physically at international meetings return professional social encounters are fertile grounds developing new ideas forging collaborative approaches both within disciplines. this emphasise, particular: links between disciplines; management, including precision agriculture, growth development, decision analysis risk; development use novel protection chemicals; ways exploiting host genetic diversity resistance deployment; perspective biological control microbial interactions; surveillance detection technologies; invasion exotic re-emerging pathogens; consequences climate change affecting all aspects environment, their interactions. We draw conclusions each areas, reaching forward next few decades, inevitably lead further questions rather than solutions anticipate.

Fungal Endophyte-Mediated Crop Improvement: The Way Ahead

Frontiers in Plant Science, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 11

Опубликована: Окт. 27, 2020

Endophytes are non-disease causing microbes (bacteria and fungi) surviving in living tissues of plants. Their intimate association possible coevolution with their plant partners have resulted them contributing to an array growth benefits ranging from enhanced biomass accumulation, tolerance abiotic biotic stresses nutrient acquisition. The last couple decades witnessed a burgeoning literature on the role endophytes (Class 3 type) regulating development adaptation stresses. Though underlying mechanisms plant-endophyte interactions far clear, several studies raised hope potential application agriculture, especially mitigating use is envisaged as route reduce production cost burden environment by lessening dependence breeding for crop improvement agrochemicals. Unfortunately, save few well documented examples use, little these insights has been translated into actual agricultural applications. Here, we reflect this paucity elaborate some important bottlenecks that might stand way fully realizing hold improvement. We stress need study various facets endophyte-plant gainful agriculture.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 101(5), С. 1744 - 1757

Опубликована: Сен. 25, 2020

Abstract Food loss of fruit and vegetables caused by postharvest diseases is a major issue worldwide. The method used to prevent control usually use chemical fungicides, but long‐term large‐scale will make the pathogens resistant potentially have negative impact on human health ecological environment. Therefore, finding safe effective biological instead hot research topic in recent years. Endophytes, colonizing plants asymptomatically, can promote growth hosts enhance their resistance. endophytes as agents for has attracted increasing attention last 20 Compared with control, advantages being more environmentally friendly, sustainable, safer. However, there are relatively few relevant studies, so herein we summarize available literature. This review focuses mainly progress using resistance diseases, emphasis possible mechanisms potential applications. Furthermore, this article suggests future areas study antagonistic vegetable diseases: (i) screening broad‐spectrum anti‐pathogen metabolic active substances macrogenomics; (ii) elucidating underlining molecular mechanism among endophytes, harvested fruit, pathogens, microbial communities; (iii) needing application overcome difficulties commercialization practice. © 2020 Society Chemical Industry
