Abstract:Eucalyptus cultivation has expanded considerably in Brazilian systems, leading to the current search for technologies to optimize growing conditions and the production of seedlings in nurseries. Based on the understanding that the development of tree species such as Eucalyptus sp. can be influenced by endophytic fungi that act directly as plant growth-promoting species, cloned seedlings of Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla hybrids grown from minicuttings we stimulated with three species of endophytic f… Show more
“…Contreras-Cornejo et al (2011) reported the synthesis of the phytohormones related to auxin (indole-3acetic acid, indole-3-acetaldehyde and indole-3-ethanol) by fungal species Trichodermavirens while working with Arabidopsis thaliana. Production of growthpromoting factors was also reported from three endophytic fungal strains of the genus Trichoderma sp, Fusarium sp, and Papulasporasp by Vitorino et al (2016) while working with hybrids of Eucalyptus grandis and Eucalyptus urophylla. The fungal strains showed a direct positive influence on stem length, stem diameter, and fresh and dry biomass.…”

In Tanzania, low tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) yield and postharvest marketable fruit qualities remain significant limitations for tomato grower’s profit. Seven endophytic fungal isolates from pyrethrum and Lemongrass leaf and or flowers were evaluated to promote tomato productivity and fruit qualities. The isolates were inoculated by priming the seeds in spore suspension, and the variations in the number of germinated seeds, seedling vigour, yield and fruit qualities were compared across the treatments. It was observed that only three isolates induced more than 50% seed germination. Epf1 and Epl1 isolates showed significant promotion of seed germination (F 0.05 (pdf, 23) = 8.121 and P = 0.001) and seedling vigour. Isolate Epf1 increased fruit number (18.4%) and weight (17%) but reduced fruit size (0.63%); the Epl1 increased fruit size (12%) and reduced fruit number (14.4%). The Epf1 induced delayed fruit ripening, colour development and softening, decaying, and prolonged shelf life by 9 days. These findings indicate that promoting tomato productivity and postharvest marketable fruit qualities is isolate-specific; therefore, it requires diligent screening. Incorporation of the Epf1 isolate through seed priming with fungal spore suspension demonstrated a high potential for increasing tomato productivity and postharvest marketable fruit qualities.

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.
