Persistence, survival, vertical dispersion, and horizontal spread of the biocontrol agent, Penicillium oxalicum strain 212, in different soil types

Identification of Microbial Metabolites Elevating Vitamin Contents in Barley Seeds

“…Researchers have successfully utilized this technique to achieve numerous goals related to plant protection. , Researchers have concluded that biological treatments bring large scale changes in plant metabolism . They may alter the rate of plant metabolic pathways, which modulate the quantities of plant biochemicals. − Thus, a number of studies have reported changes in quantities of intrinsically very diverse biochemicals in plants. , The primary objective of these studies was to explore the potential of microbes to enhance the quantities of vitamin contents in plant produce (barley seeds). Langston et al and Rice et al studied the roles of photo induction and sodium hydroxide inductions in elevated quantities of vitamins.…”

Ecological arguments to reconsider data requirements regarding the environmental fate of microbial biocontrol agents in the registration procedure in the European Union

“…The persistence in soil of Penicillium oxalicum strain 212, a MBCA used against Fusarium wilt in tomato and other fungal diseases, was studied in glasshouse and field trials over a time period of 140 days (Vazquez et al 2013). Using q-PCR techniques it could be shown that populations established well and fluctuated and declined slowly after a couple of months to a level far below the starting concentration at a decline rate depending on soil type.…”

Analysis of Microbial Biochemical Inducting Nutritional Contents in Barley

“…It has been concluded that biological treatments bring large scale changes in plant metabolism. They alter the rate of plant metabolic pathways, which result into alteration in biochemical contents of plant tissues [3][4][5]. Thus, a number of studies have reported changes in quantities of biochemicals in plants which are intrinsically very diverse from one another [6,7].…”
