Highlights
Mycogenic cell wall elicitor was isolated from
trichoderma atroviride
.
The isolated elicitor was identified as trehalose by LC-MS analysis.
Seed priming with elicitor enhanced early germination and vigour.
Primed plants induced resistance against leaf spot disease of brocolli.
Trehalose sugar act as a bio-stimulant for growth promotion and plant defence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
