Abstract Small cereals such as wheat, barley, and oat are staple food that directly (food) indirectly (feed) sustain large populations globally. However, their production is increasingly threatened by both abiotic biotic stresses. Biotic stresses, primarily caused plant pathogen fungi, bacteria, oomycota viruses responsible for nearly half of the annual crop losses. Many pathogens produce mycotoxins, which contaminate crops pose significant risks affecting human health. Fusarium spp.,...
Abstract To enhance the framework of mechanisms action used by Trichoderma gamsii T6085 for control Fusarium head blight (FHB), this work investigated its ability to modulate expression defence‐related genes wheat ( Triticum aestivum ‘Apogee’) in response endophytic colonization plant tissues. Changes relative pal1 , pr1 pgip2 and lox1 were assessed over time roots, spikes colonized alone both graminearum leaves from seedlings root‐inoculated with T6085. Results indicate induce local...
Abstract Many Fusarium species cause serious diseases for cereal cultivation. These include head blight and crown rot on wheat bakanae disease rice. represent a major concern both in terms of food security safety. The latter is connected with the risk mycotoxin contamination grains. Biological control has proven its potential controlling cereals caused by number studies, indeed several commercial products are under development. We review current knowledge mechanisms underlying biological...
