Sustainable Management of Major Fungal Phytopathogens in Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) for Food Security: A Comprehensive Review

Journal of Fungi, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 11(3), С. 207 - 207

Опубликована: Март 6, 2025

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is a globally important energy and food crop that becoming increasingly integral to security the environment. However, its production significantly hampered by various fungal phytopathogens affect yield quality. This review aimed provide comprehensive overview of major affecting sorghum, their impact, current management strategies, potential future directions. The diseases covered include anthracnose, grain mold complex, charcoal rot, downy mildew, rust, with an emphasis on pathogenesis, symptomatology, overall economic, social, environmental impacts. From initial use fungicides shift biocontrol, rotation, intercropping, modern tactics breeding resistant cultivars against mentioned are discussed. In addition, this explores disease management, particular focus role technology, including digital agriculture, predictive modeling, remote sensing, IoT devices, in early warning, detection, management. It also key policy recommendations support farmers advance research thus emphasizing need for increased investment research, strengthening extension services, facilitating access necessary inputs, implementing effective regulatory policies. concluded although pose significant challenges, combined effort innovative policies can mitigate these issues, enhance resilience sorghum facilitate global issues.

Local signal from Trichoderma afroharzianum T22 induces host transcriptome and endophytic microbiome leading to growth promotion in sorghum

Journal of Experimental Botany, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 75(22), С. 7107 - 7126

Trichoderma, a highly abundant soil fungus, may benefit plants, yet it remains understudied in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor). In this study, plants were grown for 5 weeks pots of with or without inoculation T. afroharzianum T22. Inoculation T22 significantly increased growth parameters and nutrient levels, demonstrating its beneficial role sorghum. A split-root assay demonstrated that is essential both compartments the pot promoting plant growth, suggesting local signals from fungus drive symbiotic benefits RNA-seq analysis revealed induced genes responsible mineral transport (such as nitrate aquaporin transporters), auxin response, sugar assimilation (hexokinase), disease resistance (thaumatin) roots. Microbial community further unveiled positive enriching Penicillium Streptomyces while reducing disease-causing Fusarium The microbial consortium, consisting enriched microbiomes bacterial fungal communities, showed disrupted morphological features inoculated absence griseus. However, disruption was not observed chrysogenum. These results indicate S. griseus acts helper microbe close association endosphere.

ABSTRACT Iron (Fe) deficiency is a limiting factor for legumes, yet the role of beneficial fungi in mitigating Fe garden pea understudied. In this study, Trichoderma afroharzianum T22 colonized roots cultivars exposed to alkali-mediated Fe-deficiency host- specific manner. Fe-deficient Sugar Snap, improved growth parameters consistent with increased tissue and rhizosphere siderophore. The split-root assay demonstrated that effects on mitigation are result whole-plant association rather than localized root-specific effects. RNA-seq analysis showed 575 818 differentially expressed genes upregulated downregulated inoculated under deficiency. were mostly involved flavonoid biosynthetic pathway (monooxygenase activity, ammonia-lyase 4-coumarate-CoA ligase), along related mineral transport redox homeostasis. Further, precursor restored plant health even absence T22, confirming microbial symbiosis Interestingly, abundance rhizobia, particularly Rhizobium leguminosarum indicum , induction NifA NifD NifH nodules, suggesting connection between rhizobia Fe-starvation. elevated siderophore, root flavonoid, expression PsCoA (4-coumarate-CoA ligase) as well relative TaAOX1 R. diminished when was substituted exogenous Fe. This suggests eliminates need microbiome-driven mobilization, while T22-mediated depends flavonoid- driven abundance. It further supported by positive interaction media. Thus, effect likely stems from their interactions, not just status plants. study provides first mechanistic insights into interactions host advancing microbiome strategies alleviate peas other legumes.

Screening Aspergillus flavus, Talaromyces purpureogenus, and Trichoderma koningiopsis for Plant-Growth-Promoting Traits: A Study on Phosphate Solubilization, IAA Production, and Siderophore Synthesis

Journal of Fungi, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 10(12), С. 811 - 811

Опубликована: Ноя. 22, 2024

The global rise in population has led to an increased demand for food production, necessitating the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. Traditional methods often rely on synthetic chemicals that negatively impact both human health and environment. This study aimed screen soil fungal strains plant-growth-promoting traits, specifically focusing their ability solubilize phosphates, produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), synthesize siderophores. Fungal were identified using rDNA sequencing ITS regions, growth-promoting abilities assessed vitro.

Iron-induced Transcriptional and Microbiome Changes in Host Roots Associated with Drought Tolerance in Sorghum

bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Июль 23, 2024

Abstract Iron (Fe) metabolism is linked to drought tolerance, and microbial community composition, by unknown mechanisms. In this growth incubator study, exogenous Fe caused a significant recovery from retardation in sorghum exposed drought, including improved photosynthetic attributes. The elevation of roots Fe-treated plants was correlated with increased SbFER1 ( Ferritin 1 ) expression, elevated siderophore levels, decreased H 2 O , suggesting that ferritin minimizes oxidative stress under drought. RNA-sequencing analysis demonstrated the Fe-associated induction genes associated auxin transport, plus indole-3-acetic acid abscisic acid. Amplicon sequencing indicated alterations both bacterial fungal communities added Fe. Among fungi, reduced Curvularia Pseudallescheria regardless while Taralomyces but declined when augmented during Trichoderma levels remained similar control conditions dramatically 16S analysis, massive increase Trinickia which further amplified treatment, Burkholderia minimized treatment. substantial decrease Herbaspirillum not reversed supplementation. abundance Streptomyces known modulator plant did change water stress, split-root assays suggested required for assist These findings indicate Fe-mediated tolerance ferritin-driven redox regulation shifts communities.
