Tolerance to and Alleviation of Abiotic Stresses in Plants Mediated by Trichoderma spp
Abstract The fungal genus Trichoderma bears species with several beneficial effects to plants, such as the ability to inhibit plant pathogens, induction of plant defense mechanisms, and improvement of plant growth. These fungi are active ingredients of a variety of commercially available biological products. To survey and understand the magnitude of the potential of Trichoderma spp. to reduce negative […]
Endophytic bacteria isolated from both healthy and diseased Agave sisalana plants are able to control the bole rot disease
