Carotenoids are long conjugated isoprenoid molecules with over 1117 identified structures, belongs to the class of hydrocarbons, involved in a range biological processes plants and humans. In plant cells, plastids organelles that play central role governing biosynthesis, stability activity carotenoids, their diversity. photosynthetic tissues, carotenoids act as accessory light‐harvesting pigments extend light absorption, also very important photoprotection. non-photosynthetic tissues...
Environmental stress is a major challenge for sustainable food production as it reduces yield by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) which pose threat to cell organelles and biomolecules such proteins, DNA, enzymes, others, leading apoptosis. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) offers an eco-friendly green alternative synthetic agrochemicals conventional agricultural practices in accomplishing agriculture boosting growth tolerance plants. PGPR inhabit the rhizosphere of soil...
Industrialization, population burst, and changing lifestyles have resulted in the genesis of non-degradable pollutants languishing environment human health. Biological approaches using microorganisms are gaining importance as an eco-friendly cost-effective substitute to mitigate pollution load. Microorganisms can survive a divergent produce metabolites that degrade transform making it possible revive contaminated sites naturally. Modern omics technologies like metagenomics, transcriptomics,...
Biotic stress affects crop yield and production. It is essential to acquire the knowledge necessary for designing resistance in host plants by understanding interaction between pathogens host. Salicylic acid jasmonic are principal regulators of interconnected signaling pathways plant defense mechanisms overcome conditions. Plants on pathogen attack experience transient increase reactive oxygen species production which turn activates local programmed cell death confers systemic resistance....
Plant roots aid the growth and functions of several kinds microorganisms such as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, mycorrhizal fungi, endophytic bacteria, actinomycetes, nematodes, protozoans which may impart significant impacts on health growth. soil–microbe interaction is an intricate, continuous, dynamic process that occurs in a distinct zone known rhizosphere. Plants interact with these soil microbes variety ways, including competitive, exploitative, neutral, commensal, symbiotic...
The rhizosphere consists of a plethora microbes, interacting with each other as well the plants present in proximity. root exudates consist variety secondary metabolites such strigolactones and phenolic compounds coumarin that helps facilitating communication forming associations beneficial microbes rhizosphere. Among different flavonoids (natural polyphenolic compounds) continuously increasing attention scientific fields for showing several slews biological activities. Flavonoids possess...
In the present study, we have evaluated comparative biochemical defense response generated against Alternaria alternata and its purified toxins viz. alternariol (AOH), monomethyl ether (AME), tenuazonic acid (TeA). The necrotic lesions developed due to treatment with were almost similar as those produced by pathogen, indicating crucial role of these in plant pathogenesis. An oxidative burst reaction characterized rapid transient production a large amount reactive oxygen species (ROS) occurs...
Plant defense against their pathogens can be induced by a complex network of different inducers. The present study investigates the synergistic effect Trichoderma harzianum, exogenous salicylic acid (SA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) over response regulation antioxidant mechanisms lipid peroxidation in tomato plants Fusarium wilt disease. In work, were infected oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 3 days after inoculated with T. harzianum and/or sprayed daily for chemical inducers (SA MeJA). Plants...
Trichoderma spp. are well-known biological agents that have significant antagonistic activity against several plant pathogenic fungi. In the present study, were tested in vitro for their different of Fusarium and Alternaria viz. alternata, A. brassicae, solani, oxysporum F. solani using dual plate assay by production volatile non-volatile compounds. The results obtained revealed harzianum T. viride effectively inhibited growth spore Alternaria. highest inhibition was found alternata 62.50%...
Vascular wilt of tomato caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici (FOL) is one the most devastating diseases, that delimits production worldwide. Fungal short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDRs) are NADP(H) dependent oxidoreductases, having shared motifs and common functional mechanism, have been demonstrated as biochemical targets for commercial fungicides. The 1,3,6,8 tetra hydroxynaphthalene reductase (T4HNR) protein, a member SDRs family, catalyzes naphthol reduction reaction in...
Abstract Alternaria species produce various sorts of toxic metabolites during their active growth and causes severe diseases in many plants by limiting productivity. These incorporate mycotoxins comprising dibenzo-α-pyrone some tetramic acid derivatives. In this study, we have screened out total 48 isolates from different belonging to locations India, on the basis pathogenic nature. Pathogenicity testing these strains susceptible tomato variety (CO-3) showed 27.08% were highly pathogenic,...
