Background: The role of fungi in cocoa crops is mainly associated with plant diseases and
contamination of harvest with unwanted metabolites such as mycotoxins that can reach the …

Trichoderma spp. are free-living fungi present in virtually all terrestrial ecosystems. These
soil fungi can stimulate plant growth and increase plant nutrient acquisition of macro-and …

Plants host numerous endophytic microbes which promote plant performance, in particular
under stress. A new endophytic fungus was isolated from the leaves of a deciduous wood …

Plants fine-tune the growth-defense trade-off to survive when facing pathogens. Meanwhile,
plant-associated microbes, such as the endophytes inside plant tissues, can benefit plant …

Background This study aimed to assess whether licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) can benefit
from dual inoculation by Trichoderma viride and dark septate endophytes (DSE) isolated …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of calcium nanoparticles (CaNP) and
putrescine polyamine on some physiological and biochemical properties of saffron (Crocus …

In eukaryotic systems, membrane-bound NADPH oxidases (Nox) generate reactive oxygen
species (ROS) as a part of normal physiological functions. In the soil-borne mycoparasitic …

Ascomycetes of the genus Trichoderma are beneficial fungi that promote plant growth.
Several fungal species can mitigate abiotic stress in plants. Trichoderma spp. induce salt …
