Ornamental plant Pachystachys lutea as a source of promising endophytes for pla...
Ribeiro, Amanda da Silva; Polli, Andressa Domingos; Oliveira, Amanda; Oliveira, João Arthur dos Santos de; Emmer, Anderson; Alves, Leonardo HamamuraEndophytes are growth-promoting agents capable of synthesizing phytohormones, uptaking nutrients, and controlling pathogens. There is a strong potential to exploit them in the agriculture field like biofertilizers and biocontrol agents. In this work, we aimed to evaluate endophytic fungi isolated from Pachystachys lutea for their potential to solubilize phosphate, synthesise indole acetic acid (IAA), antagonize...
Plant growth-promoting activity of wild-type and bromate-resistant mutant of th...
Oliveira, João Arthur dos Santos; Ferreira, Ana Paula; Polli, Andressa Domingos; Silva, Angela Aparecida da; Ribeiro, Amanda da SilvaEndophytes may play important roles in agriculture. Spontaneous or induced mutant strains may increase their biotechnological properties. Seventeen Colletotrichum endophytic fungi were investigated for their plant growth-promoting characteristics (in vitro phosphate solubilization, IAA, and siderophore production). The five best strains were inoculated into bean seeds, and the most prominent isolate was selecte...
Bioprospection and molecular phylogeny of culturable endophytic fungi associate...
Oliveira, João Arthur dos Santos; Polli, Andressa Domingos; Polonio, Julio Cesar; Orlandelli, Ravely Casarotti; Conte, Hélio; Azevedo, João LúcioEndophytic microorganisms live inside the plants without causing any damage to their hosts. In the agricultural field, these endophytes might be a strategy of biological control for phytopathogens. We aimed to isolate endophytic fungi from yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) leaves, evaluating its biocontrol capacity by in vitro antagonism against phytopathogen Colletotrichum sp. CNPU378. We also carried o...
