Rhizoctonia root-rot disease causes severe economic losses in a wide range of crops, including Vicia faba worldwide. Currently, biosynthesized nanoparticles have become super-growth promoters as well antifungal agents. In this study, selenium (Se-NPs) been examined growth agents against solani RCMB 031001 vitro and vivo. Se-NPs were synthesized biologically by Bacillus megaterium ATCC 55000 characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, XRD, dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron...
In this study, a novel, non-toxic, eco-friendly zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) was used instead of the synthetic fungicides widely to control destructive phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum, causative agent wilt disease in Solanum melongena L. Herein, biosynthesized ZnO-NPs carried out by Penicillium expansum ATCC 7861. vitro, mycosynthesized exhibited antifungal activity against oxysporum. vivo, suppressed cultivated decreasing severity with 75% plant protection. Moreover,...
Endophytic fungi are broadly dispersed residing inside plant tissues and have been demonstrated as a treasure for bioactive natural products. Unexplored harsh heavy metal contaminant habitat of Avicennia marina may diverse potential fungal association. Therefore, this work aimed to isolate the culturable endophytes associated with leaves A. evaluate their medical potentialities. Seventeen isolates endophyte were isolated from healthy antimicrobial activities evaluated. Results showed that...
Symbiotic plant-fungi interaction is a promising approach to alleviate salt stress in plants. Moreover, endophytic fungi are well known promote the growth of various crop Herein, seven fungal endophytes were screened for tolerance; results revealed that Aspergillus ochraceus showed great potentiality terms tolerance, up 200 g L−1. The indole acetic acid (IAA) production antioxidant capacity and antifungal activity A. evaluated, vitro, under two levels seawater stress, 15 30% (v/v;...
Plant growth-promoting fungi (PGPF) improve plant health and resist pathogens. The present study was carried out to biocontrol tomato Fusarium wilt using PGPF through antifungal activity enhance immune response. Four were identified genetically as
Fusarium wilt is considered one of the most destructive diseases for tomato plants. The novelty this work was to investigate antifungal and plant growth-promoting capabilities some fungi (PGPF). Plant (PGPF) improved health control infections. In study, two fungal strains as PGPF were isolated identified Aspergillus fumigatus Rhizopus oryzae using molecular method. extracts A. R. exhibited promising activity against F. oxysporum in vitro. Moreover, antagonistic effect causing disease...
The eggplant suffers from many biotic stresses that cause severe damage to crop production. One of the most destructive pathogens is Alternaria solani, which causes early blight disease. A pot experiment was conducted evaluate role fungal endophytes in protecting against as well improving its growth performance.Endophytic Aspergillus terreus isolated Ocimum basilicum leaves and identified morphologically genetically. In vitro, crude extract endophytic A. exhibited promising antifungal...
Endophytes fungi are applied as favorable safe antifungal agents well natural bioactive compounds reservoir. In the current study, inhibitory effect of endophytic fungus was explained by direct activity against causing mucormycosis, ultrastructural, and determination active in fungal extract. Endophytic Aspergillus terreus isolated from healthy Moringa oleifera leaves identified morphologically genetically, recorded gene bank with accession number MW444551.1. Phytochemical analysis gas...
Global food crisis due to climate change, pandemic COVID-19 outbreak, and Russia-Ukraine conflict leads catastrophic consequences; almost 10 percent of the world's population go bed hungry daily. Narrative solution for green agriculture with high vegetation crop yield is mandatory; novel nanomaterials can improve plant immunity restrain diseases. Iron fundamental nutrient element; it plays vital role in enzyme activity RNA synthesis; furthermore involved photosynthesis electron-transfer...
The threats to the life and production of crops are exacerbated by climate change misuse chemical pesticides. This study was designed evaluate effectiveness biosynthesized silica nanoparticles (SiO2-NPs) as an alternative pesticides against early blight disease eggplant. Antifungal activity, index, photosynthetic pigments, osmolytes, oxidative stress, antioxidant enzymes activities were tested for potential tolerance eggplant infected with Alternaria solani. Silica successfully using...
Aspergillus flavus infection of vegetative tissues can affect the development and integrity plant poses dangerous risks on human animal health. Thus, safe easily applied approaches are employed to inhibit A. growth. To this end, fungal endophyte, i.e., fumigatus, was used as a biocontrol agent reduce growth its in maize seedlings. Interestingly, endophytic fumigatus exhibited antifungal activity (e.g., 77% inhibition) against flavus. It also reduced creation aflatoxins, particularly...
Abstract Crop loss brought on by phytopathogens is a significant issue that affects the entire world. Synthetic pesticides have been used for years to prevent economic losses caused phytopathogens, raising severe worries about environment and public health. Therefore, today, there growing interest in using helpful microorganisms control plant pathogens. In this way, Aspergillus chevalieri AGH-1 OP593083 egyptiacus AGH-4 OP593080 isolated from wheat rhizosphere applied as growth-promoting...
The wide spread of plant pathogens affects the whole world, threatening national food security. Various fungi including Rhizoctonia solani induce fungal disease damping-off that negatively seedlings' growth. Recently, endophytic are used as safe alternatives to chemical pesticides harm and human health. Here, an Aspergillus terreus was isolated from Phaseolus vulgaris seeds control diseases by improving defense system in Vicia faba seedlings. Endophytic fungus morphologically genetically...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to represent a significant clinical challenge, characterized by consistently elevated rates of morbidity and mortality. Care regimen success is still difficult necessitates assessing new antibiotics as well supplemental services, including source control searching for alternative approaches combating it. Hence, we propose synthesize silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) employing cell-free filter (CFF) Streptomyces sp. augment antibiotic...
Tomato plant (Solanum lycopersicum L.) suffers from numerous fungal pathogens that cause damage to yeild production qualitatively and quantitatively. One of the most destructive disease tomato is Fusarium wilt caused by soil borne fungus called F. oxysporum.In this study, anti-Fusarium capabilities foliar application endophytes extracts have been investigated on under challenges. Antifungal assay, inhibition conidial germination, severity, photosynthetic pigments, osmolytes, secondary...
