Induction of defense responses in cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L.) by the biocontrol agent Trichoderma harzianum

Article Abstract:

The ability of Trichoderma harzianum to invade the epidermis of cucumber roots and develop in the inner tissues has been studied. T. harzianum is the most common saprophytic fungi in the rhizosphere and has received a lot of attention as a potential biocontrol agent for soilborne pathogens. The biological events associated with the interaction between the cucumber and T. harzianum have also been investigated. The role of defense molecules in inhibiting the fungi has also been examined. Results show that T. harzianum can penetrate the root system of cucumbers without much damage and activates host defense reactions.

Quorum sensing enhances the stress response in Vibrio cholerae

Article Abstract:

Various studies are conducted to analyze the effects of quorum sensing on Vibrio cholerae, which are commonly found in different aquatic environments and causes cholera. It is found that quorum sensing highly enhances the viability of the organism under different stress conditions.
