The world faces two enormous challenges that can be met, at least in part and low cost, by making certain changes agricultural practices. There is need to produce enough food fibre for a growing population the face of adverse climatic trends, remove greenhouse gases avert worst consequences global climate change. Improving photosynthetic efficiency crop plants help meet both challenges. Fortuitously, when plants' roots are colonized root endophytic fungi genus Trichoderma, this induces...

Plant tissue culture plays a central role in the agricultural, horticultural, research, and conservation sectors. It facilitates precise control over plant propagation manipulation, resulting enhanced crop yields, effective disease management, preservation of endangered species. Browning, well-acknowledged limitation culture, poses potential challenges to successful vitro multiplication. Browning primarily occurs response enzymatic reactions due explant damage. Left unaddressed, it can lead...

Trichoderma spp., a known beneficial fungus is reported to have several mechanisms enhance plant growth. In this study, the effectiveness of seven isolates spp. promote growth and increase physiological performance in rice was evaluated experimentally using completely randomized design under greenhouse condition. This study indicated that all tested were able processes which include net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration, internal CO2 concentration water use efficiency....

Increased agricultural activities driven by rising food demand have led to environmental problems mostly arising from the high levels of external inputs and resources that are required. Additionally, changes, such as global warming, can lead various biotic abiotic stresses, which negative impacts on crop production. Numerous solutions strategies been introduced overcome these problems. One ways improve plant production well increase resistance towards stresses is utilizing beneficial...

Browning and contamination are regarded as the main constraints in plant tissue culture of Musa spp. that can hinder success propagation vitro. is caused by enzymatic reactions due to explant injury, while microbial phyllospheric, rhizospheric, endophytic microorganisms reside on, in, inside plants. When not properly addressed, they cause decreased regenerative ability, callus growth, inhibited adventitious shoot even death. To overcome browning problem, various attempts have been made...

The most effective methodologies for generating Musa spp. explants involve the utilization of plant tissue culture micropropagation techniques. However, pervasive challenge microbial contamination significantly impedes successful This study examined antioxidant and antibacterial characteristics essential oil (LPO) extract (LPE) obtained from peel Citrus aurantifolia. Additionally, we explored their mechanisms against common contaminants in micropropagation. Using gas chromatography-mass...

The increasing demand for sustainable energy has brought biobutanol as a potential substitute fossil fuels.

Trichoderma sp. SL2 has been previously reported to enhance rice germination, vigour, growth and physiological characteristics. The use of Potato Dextrose Agar as carrier inoculant is not practical for field application due its short shelf life high cost. This study focuses on the corn sugarcane bagasse potential carriers inoculants. A completely randomized design was applied this study. suspension mixed with were used treatment mixture in soil. Growth parameters including seedling height,...

An urgent demand for natural compound alternatives to conventional medications has arisen due global health challenges, such as drug resistance and the adverse effects associated with synthetic drugs. Plant extracts are considered an alternative their favorable safety profiles potential reducing side effects. Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is a valuable plant resource candidate development of pharmaceutical medications. A single pure or combination compounds exhibits exceptional medicinal...

Trichoderma yunnanense strain TM10 was isolated from rhizosphere soil of rice plants cultivated under system intensification (SRI) practises in West Java, Indonesia. It exhibits significant potential as a plant growth promoter and biocontrol agent plants. Although this has shown promise promoting suppressing phytopathogens vitro planta conditions, there is still lack genomic data to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying its growth-promoting capabilities. This study reports whole...

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniaeis a critical pathogen causing severe human diseases, including pneumonia. Combating the growing threat of MDRK. pneumoniae requires innovative approaches, such as exploring plant-derived antibacterial agents. Rhizophora stylosa Griff., mangrove species with traditional medicinal uses, is recognized for its bioactive compounds potential properties. However, research on constituents remains limited. This study investigated activity R. leaf...

The present study was undertaken to examine the effectiveness of <em>Trichoderma</em> spp. enhance rice germination and vigour. An <em>in vitro</em> experiment carried out assess effect seven isolates in enhancing results showed that all significantly increased seedling growth, rate, vigour index speed with sp., SL2 showing greatest increase four parameters. treated seeds attained values 4.48 6.00 cm, 0.0084 0.0048 g 1016.56 44.75 seeds/day for shoot length root length, weight, respectively....

The capability of endophytic Trichoderma spp. to reduce sheath blight disease in rice caused by Rhizoctonia solani was assessed under the growth conditions established practices System Rice Intensification (SRI), compared those standard irrigated cultivation. seeds inoculated with a local isolate fungus asperellum SL2 were grown respective SRI and conventional or uninoculated plants then infected pathogen R. solani. It seen that inoculation this strain protected against infection while...
