“…Furfural caused the reduction in root-rot incidence, being 75.43% comparing with untreated control when applied alone. Combined treatments with furfural and either bacterial or fungal bioagents showed a lower effect, although they reduced the disease incidence by more than 41% [59]. A similar effect was also reported for tomato wilt caused by F. oxysporum [60] and stem rot of liatris (Liatris punctata) caused by S. sclerotiorum [5].…”

Soil drench with furfural, Humic & Folic acid and/or bio-agents treatments were evaluated against root rot incidence of Cucumber, Cantaloupe, Tomato and Pepper in pot experiments. The pathogenic fungi, Fusarium solani, F. oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotium rolfsii, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, S. minor, Macrophomina phaseolina, Alternaria solani and Pythium sp. As well as bio-agents, T. harzianum, T. viride, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens were used in this study. The obtained results revealed the efficacy of applied some of plant resistance inducers and/or bio-agents as soil drench against tested vegetables root diseases incidence at both pre-, and post-emergence growth stages comparing with untreated control. Applied treatments of the bio-agents in combination with the tested chemicals resulted in higher significant reduction in root rot incidence than each of them alone. Treatments of T. harzianum either alone or combined with chemicals were superior for reducing root rot disease for all tested vegetable plants followed by B. subtilis treatments comparing with the other tested ones. More detailed studies are required to elucidate formulations of antagonists and alternative fungicides for more successful protection against such soil-borne diseases.

“…Grafting is a new technique for the production of fruit-bearing vegetables. Grafting is used to provide protection of soilborne diseases and nematodes in grafted plants (Marsic and Osvald, 2004) a major problem in tomato production (El-Mougy, 2008). Root-knot nematodes (RKNs, Meloidogyne spp.)…”

Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted in 2007 and 2008 to evaluate weed competitiveness and herbicidal sensitivity of grafted tomatoes. Three weed interference levels were established in the field by imposing different weeding pressures.Results indicated that grafting of tomato seedlings did not increase the ability of plants to suppress weeds over self rooted plants.Grafted tomatoes had more vigorous growth and fruit yield compared to self rooted tomatoes across all weed levels. Weeds were found to have more prominent adverse effects on tomato productivity, but had less adverse effects on plant growth. Greenhouse experiments were conducted to detect herbicidal sensitivity of grafted and self rooted tomatoes towards metribuzin and sethoxydim herbicides. The experiments revealed that grafted tomatoes showed a relatively higher herbicidal sensitivity than self rooted seedlings. Grafted plants probably were less able to metabolize and detoxify high herbicide rates whenever variations in plant height or dry matter accumulations were detected in the experiments. Researchers and producers should be aware of this newly observed sensitivity when designing herbicide application programs for weed management in grafted crops.

“…Furfural can be produced by plant-associated microbes (Jeleń and Wasowicz, 1998) and is known to be a potent fungicide of interest for crop protection in view of its lack of toxicity for human and environmental health (Zeitsch, 2000). This compound is known to inhibit the growth of Trichoderma species, F. oxysporum, and B. cinerea (Jung et al, 2007;El-Mougy et al, 2008;Sharip et al, 2016). The reduction in furfural abundance could then be a strategy to avoid overaccumulation of this toxic compound that could otherwise reach a threshold of toxicity for these organisms.…”

A new system to study directional volatile-mediated interactions reveals the ability of fungi to specifically react to other fungal volatiles

Microbes communicate with each other using a wide array of chemical compounds, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Usually, such volatile-mediated interactions are studied by growing two different microbes in a shared, confined environment and by subsequently collecting and analyzing the emitted VOCs by gas chromatography. This procedure has several drawbacks, including artificial volatile overaccumulation and potential oxygen limitation, as well as the impossibility to assign a producer to the compounds newly emitted during the interaction. To address these challenges, we have developed a novel system specifically designed to analyze volatile-mediated interactions allowing for sequential unidirectional exposure of a “receiver” microorganism to the VOCs of an “emitter” microorganism. Using hermetically sealed systems connected to an air compressor, a constant unidirectional airflow could be generated, driving emitted volatiles to be absorbed by a collection charcoal filter. Thus, our developed system avoids artificial overaccumulation of volatile compounds and lack of oxygen in the headspace and enables the univocal assignment of VOCs to their producers. As a proof of concept, we used this newly developed experimental setup to characterize the reaction of plant growth-promoting and biocontrol fungus (Trichoderma simmonsii) to the perception of VOCs emitted by two plant pathogens, namely Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium oxysporum. Our results show that the perception of each pathogen's volatilome triggered a specific response, resulting in significant changes in the VOCs emitted by Trichoderma. Trichoderma's volatilome modulation was overall stronger when exposed to the VOCs from Fusarium than to the VOCs from Botrytis, which correlated with increased siderophore production when co-incubated with this fungus. Our newly developed method will not only help to better understand volatile-mediated interactions in microbes but also to identify new molecules of interest that are induced by VOC exposure, as well as the putative-inducing signals themselves.
