Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) applications have emerged as an ideal substitute for synthetic chemicals by their ability to improve plant nutrition and resistance against pathogens. In this study, we isolated fourteen root endophytes from healthy wheat roots cultivated in Tunisia. The isolates were identified based 16S rRNA gene sequences. They belonged Bacillota Pseudomonadota taxa. Fourteen strains tested defense-eliciting potentials on durum under greenhouse conditions, vitro...
Among the abiotic stresses, drought is first environmental stress responsible for a decrease in agricultural production worldwide; it affects plants various ways, including slowing down plant growth and disrupting its general physiology. Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are considered to be bioameliorators of plant’s resistance water stress. The present study investigated effects inoculation with arbuscular fungi (AMF) PGPR on status antioxidant enzyme...
BACKGROUND The antifungal properties of the nickel(II) complex bis(azido-κN)bis[2,5-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole-κ2N2,N3]nickel(II) [NiL2(N3)2] and its parental ligand 2,5-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole were examined to evaluate their ability protect tomato plants against Verticillium dahliae. Our main objectives determine effects on in vitro growth pathogen, aptitude for controlling verticillium wilt activating plant defence responses greenhouse. RESULTS NiL2(N3)2 exhibited an...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the antioxidant antibacterial activities essential oil isolated from Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) leaves, Masters originating in Morocco (Benslimane Region, Atlantic-influenced plain). analysis major compounds was performed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry, dominated bornyl acetate (35.05%), camphor (11.17%), α-pinene (10.84%). properties were evaluated test radical trap 2,2-diphényl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), antimicrobial activity...
Verticillium wilt caused by dahliae is a major limiting factor for tomato production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness ligand 2,5-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole (L) and its complex bis[μ-2,5-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole-κ(4)N(2),N(3):N(4),N(5)]bis[dihydrato-κO)nickel(II)] as activators plant defenses in controlling wilt. In greenhouse, they protected plants against V. when were applied twice foliar sprays at 100 μg mL(-1). A synergistic effect...
This study evaluated the in vitro antimicrobial effect of 3β-acetoxy-norlup-20-one (1) and 3-chloro-4α,14α-dimethyl-5α-cholest-8-ene (2), triterpene derivatives from Euphorbia officinarum latex against fungal bacterial phytopathogens. Results showed that although mycelial growth several strains Verticillium dahlia, Fusarium oxysporum fsp. melonis Penicillium expansum was affected only moderately, two compounds were able to reduce highly conidia formation germination, suggesting they act as...
In the realm of sustainable agriculture, biocontrol is gaining considerable attention for its focus on development safe, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional biocides. This study explored potential use essential oils as alternative products managing Verticillium dahliae, causal agent wilt in olive trees. Essential (EOs) were obtained through hydrodistillation from six Moroccan aromatic medicinal plants (Ammodaucus leucotrichus, Mentha spicata, Origanum...
Abstract Extracts from the brown seaweeds Cystoseira myriophylloides , Laminaria digitata and Fucus spiralis were evaluated as plant defence inducers against wild fire disease of Nicotiana benthamiana . Seeds’ imbibition in aqueous seaweed extracts (SE) results plants with reduced severity. In addition, bacterial populations significantly these when compared to those germinated sterile distilled water. They primed N. for H 2 O accumulation enhanced activity several antioxidant enzymes...
The Third African Congress for Conservation Biology (ACCB 2016) (www.accb2016morocco.com), which will take place between the 4th and 8th of September 2016, in El Jadida, Morocco, is aimed at exploring multiple facets globalization context conservation Africa. Congresses (ACCBs) are irregular events Africa Section Society (SCB Africa) that hosted by different institutions alternating countries. ACCBs provide space platform to share discuss recent research findings experiences, build networks,...
