“…Moreover, Chaetomium have promising antagonistic activities against the spot blotch pathogen, Drechslera sorokiniana [31,32]. Furthermore, Chaetomium showed antifungal activities against Fusarium, Pyricularia oryzae, Helminthosporium, Pyrenophora, Pythium ultimum, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum; Cochliobolus sativus, Alternaria raphani, [33,34]. Also, application of C. globosum as a biocontrol agent for controlling late blight disease in potato plants showed promising results and resulted in greater tuber yield.…”

Endophytic fungi always attract attention due to their generous production of bioactive and chemically novel compounds that have medical, agriculture, industrial applications. This review focused on Chaetomium as a model of endophytic fungi rich in therapeutic agents that have known medicinal and industrial application. Moreover, understanding the importance of this potent fungus encourage further studies to identify novel metabolites, and at the same time employing already known metabolites to evaluate their activity in order to be used in additional applications.

“…The diverse genus Chaetomium with word wide distribution is well known as coprophilous, seed, and soil fungi (Abdel-Azeem, 2020). Furthermore, Chaetomium taxa are considered as an antagonist of plant fungal pathogens (Abdel-Azeem, 2020), antibitosis against nematodes ,Meloidogyne incognita (Kofold & White) Chitwood (Rhabditida: Meloidogynidae), and insect pests control (Moya et al, 2020). For the first time, our result has shown that C. elatum isolates (RUF-CE1) are pathogenic to both E. kuehniella larvae and C. maculatus adults.…”

We aimed to explore the entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) from the different ecosystems including forests, gardens, fields, and rangeland soils in Kermanshah province, Iran. Trials were carried out on morphological, molecular characterization, diversity indices, and virulence assessments of indigenous EPF from 41 sampling sites of various localities. Using the Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) as host bait, 114 fungal isolates were recovered-i.e., 39 from forests, 38 from fields, 22 from rangelands, and 15 from garden soils. Based on morphological features and the sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of the ribosomal DNA, the recovered entomopathogenic fungi were identified as

“…Many of the applications of Chaetomium spp. in agriculture include degradation of organic matter, induction of plant immunity, plant growth promoter and mycofungicide (Linkies et al, 2020;Moya et al, 2020; T A B L E 2 (Continued) Shanthiyaa et al, 2013;Zhang et al, 2021). Thus, it is not surprising that multiple isolates of Chaetomium spp.…”

Aim:The objective of this research was to screen fungal isolates originally isolated from cotton plants and measure their effects on the interactions between soybean and two aboveground pests (cabbage looper; Trichoplusia ni and soybean looper;Chrysodeixis includens) as well as a belowground pest (soybean cyst nematode; Heterodera glycines).Methods and Results: For aboveground pests, we measured the leaf area consumed and larval weight. For our belowground pest tests, we measured shoot height, shoot fresh weight, root fresh weight and number of cysts. Out of the 50 fungal isolates tested, we tested 30 fungi in the interaction with cabbage looper, 36 for soybean looper, 41 for soybean cyst nematode. We tested 23 isolates against all pests and identified multiple isolates that significantly changed the response of pests on inoculated soybean plants versus controls. Conclusions:We identified three fungal isolates that significantly reduced both leaf area consumed aboveground by caterpillars and number of cysts produced belowground by nematodes. These isolates were an Epicoccum italicum, a Chaetomium undulatum and a Stemphylium majusculum. Significance and Impact of Study:Overall, this study provides important insights into plant-fungal interactions and their effect on both above-and belowground pests. This study also highlights an important first step towards harnessing the potential of microbial inoculates as a tool for integrated pest management in soybeans.
