Piriformospora indica (Hymenomycetes, Basidiomycota) is a newly described cultivable endophyte that colonizes roots. Inoculation with the fungus and application of fungal culture filtrate promotes plant growth biomass production. Due to its ease culture, this provides model organism for study beneficial plant-microbe interactions new tool improving production systems.

Biogenic synthesis of metal nanoparticles is considerable interest, as it affords clean, biocompatible, nontoxic, and cost-effective fabrication. Driven by their ability to withstand variable extremes environmental conditions, several microorganisms, notably bacteria fungi, have been investigated in the never-ending search for optimal nanomaterial production platforms. Here, we present a hitherto unexplored algal platform featuring Chlorella pyrenoidosa, which offers high degree consistency...

A new fungus isolate was discovered in an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spore from a desert soil India. It could easily be cultivated on various synthetic media, and formed pear-shaped chlamydospores. Inoculation of maize showed that the colonized root cortex. Since it did not resemble any known based morphology ultrastructure, genus described. For its characteristic structure named Piriformospora indica. Electron microscopy revealed presence typical dolipores with continuous parenthesomes,...

Increasing evidence shows that nitric oxide (NO), a typical signaling molecule plays important role in development of plant and bacteria-plant interaction. In the present study, we tested effect sodium nitroprusside (SNP)-a donor, on bacterial metabolism its establishment PGPR-plant interaction under salinity condition. adopted methods namely, biofilm formation assay, GC-MS analysis volatiles, chemotaxis assay root exudates (REs), measurement electrolyte leakage lipid peroxidation,...

Piriformospora indica , an endophytic fungus of the Sebacinaceae family, colonizes roots a wide variety plant species and promotes their growth, in manner similar to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The results present study demonstrate that interacts also with non‐mycorrhizal host Arabidopsis thaliana its growth. interaction is detectable by appearance strong autofluorescence roots, followed colonization root cells fungal hyphae generation chlamydospores. Promotion growth was even before...

Piriformospora indica is an endophytic fungus that colonizes the roots of many plant species, including Arabidopsis. We exposed 18-day-old Arabidopsis seedlings, which were either cocultivated with or mock-treated for last 9 days, to mild drought stress 84 h. During first 36 48 h, seedlings continued grow, while uncolonized controls did not. This results in a threefold difference fresh weight and more than twofold chlorophyll content. The photosynthetic efficiency was only slightly reduced...

Piriformospora indica, an endophytic fungus of the Sebacinaceae family, promotes growth Arabidopsis and tobacco seedlings stimulates nitrogen accumulation expression genes for nitrate reductase starch-degrading enzyme glucan-water dikinase (SEX1) in roots. Neither promotion nor stimulation two enzymes requires heterotrimeric G proteins. P. indica also uidA gene under control (Nia2) promoter transgenic seedlings. At least regions (–470/–439 –103/–89) are important Nia2 activity One contains...

Arabidopsis growth and reproduction are stimulated by the endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica. The produces low amounts of auxins, but auxin levels expression auxin-regulated genes not altered in colonized roots. Also, mutants with reduced (ilr1-1, nit1-3, tfl2, cyp79 b2b3) respond to P. However, rescues dwarf phenotype overproducer sur1-1 converting free into conjugates, which also results downregulation auxin-induced IAA6 upregulation indica-induced LRR1 gene. relatively high...

*The endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica colonizes the roots of model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and promotes its growth seed production. The can be cultivated in axenic culture without a host, therefore this is an excellent system to investigate plant-fungus symbiosis. etr1, ein2 ein3/eil1 mutant plants was not promoted or even inhibited by fungus; produced less seeds were more colonized compared with wild-type. This correlates mild activation defence responses. overexpression ETHYLENE...

Silver nanoparticle (AgNP) was synthesized using the cell free extract of Scenedesmus abundans with AgNO 3 . The silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Photoluminescence. Bioreduction Ag + ions showed a gradual change in colour having range 420–440 nm under spectrum. antibacterial efficacy assessed against pathogenic bacteria E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Aeromonas hydrophila present study...

This study was undertaken to investigate the influence of plant probiotic fungus Piriformospora indica on medicinal C. forskohlii. Interaction forskohlii with root endophyte P. under field conditions, results in an overall increase aerial biomass, chlorophyll contents and phosphorus acquisition. The also promoted inflorescence development, consequently amount p-cymene increased. Growth thickness reduced treated plants as they became fibrous, but developed more lateral roots. Because smaller...

Piriformospora indica association has been reported to increase biotic as well abiotic stress tolerance of its host plants. We analyzed the beneficial effect P. on rice seedlings during high salt conditions (200 and 300 mM NaCl). The growth parameters such root shoot lengths or fresh dry weights were found be enhanced in indica-inoculated compared with non-inoculated control seedlings, irrespective whether they are exposed not. However, salt-stressed performed much better presence fungus...

Summary Piriformospora indica , an endophyte of the Sebacinaceae family, promotes growth and seed production many plant species, including Arabidopsis. Growth a T‐DNA insertion line in PYK10 is not promoted plants do produce more seeds presence P. although their roots are colonized by fungus than wild‐type roots. Overexpression mRNA did affect root colonization response to fungus. codes for root‐ hypocotyl‐specific β‐glucosidase/myrosinase, which implicated be involved defences against...
