Phytophthora cinnamomi es un fitopatógeno reportado como el agente causal de la pudrición radicular del palto en el Perú. En este estudio se evaluó la capacidad antagónica de cepas nativas de Trichoderma spp aisladas de la rizósfera de un cultivo de paltos del distrito de Quilmaná, Cañete. Para la evaluación in vitro de la capacidad antagónica de las cepas aisladas se utilizó la técnica de cultivo dual en donde se midió los porcentajes de inhibición del crecimiento radial (PICR) de P. cinnamomi. Del total de cepas aisladas, 3 (P1.1, P4.9 y P5.3) presentaron mayores PICR con 53.86, 56,24 y 60,49 % respectivamente. La identificación molecular indicó que la cepas P4.9 y P1.1 presentan un 99,66 y 100% de similitud con Trichoderma asperellum mientras que la cepa P5.3 un 98,17% de similitud con Trichoderma spp, según el análisis BLAST. En base a los resultados obtenidos estas cepas de Trichoderma asperellum representan un potencial para ser utilizadas como agentes biocontroladores de P. cinnamomi. por lo que se recomienda realizar ensayo en campo.

ABSTRACT Despite the favorable edaphoclimatic conditions for avocado production in Brazil, diseases such as root rot caused by the pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi compromise the crop. With the aim of managing root rot in avocado, the present study aimed to evaluate chemical and biological control with isolates of Trichoderma spp. and Pseudomonas fluorescens. Thus, three assays were conducted to assess: (i) mycelial inhibition of P. cinnamomi by isolates of Trichoderma spp. and P. fluorescens from different crop systems; (ii) effect of autoclaved and non-autoclaved metabolites of P. fluorescens, and (iii) chemical or biological treatment of avocado seedlings on the control of root rot under field conditions. The isolates of Trichoderma spp. from maize cultivation soil and the commercial products formulated with Trichoderma presented greater antagonism (p <0.05) to the pathogen P. cinnamomi in the in vitro tests. Similarly, non-autoclaved metabolites of P. fluorescens presented antagonistic potential to control P. cinnamomi. Under field conditions, the fungicide metalaxyl and the bioagents showed effectiveness in controlling P. cinnamomi, as well as greater root length and mass. Results demonstrated potential for the biological control of avocado root rot with Trichoderma spp. and P. fluorescens.

Avocado root rot caused by the oomycete Phytophthora cinnamomi is a severe disease that affects avocado production in Mexico and worldwide. The use of biological control agents such as Trichoderma species isolated from places where the disease is always present, represents an efficient alternative to reduce losses. Thus, the objective of this research was to evaluate the biocontrol ability of 10 endophytic Trichoderma spp. strains against P. cinnamomi tested both in vitro and in the greenhouse. The endophytic Trichoderma spp. were recovered from Persea americana and Cinnamomum verum roots, isolated and purified on potato–dextrose–agar medium. Ten strains were identified by phylogenetic reconstruction of the internal transcribed spacer region of rDNA sequences as T. asperellum (T-AS1, T-AS2, T-AS6, and T-AS7), T. harzianum (T-H3, T-H4, and T-H5), T. hamatum (T-A12), T. koningiopsis (T-K8 and T-K11), and P. cinnamomi (CPO-PCU). In vitro dual-culture assay, the percentage of inhibition of radial growth (PIRG) between Trichoderma spp. and P. cinnamomi strains was measured according to the Bell’s scale. PIRG results indicated that T-AS2 reached the highest value of 78.32%, and T-H5 reached the lowest value of 38.66%. In the greenhouse, the infection was evaluated according to the percentage of disease incidence. Plants with the lowest incidence of dead by avocado root rot were those whose seedlings were inoculated with T-AS2 and T-AS7, resulting in only 5% death by root rot caused by P. cinnamomi. The disease incidence of seedlings with wilt symptoms and death decreased more than 50% in the presence of Trichoderma spp. Relying on the results, we conclude that T. asperellum and T. harzianum contribute to the biocontrol of soil-borne pathogenic oomycete P. cinnamomi.

Chitinases from the genus Trichoderma fungi are mainly responsible for their anti-fungal activities, which allow them to become the most widely used fungal biocontrol. Therefore, several Trichoderma chitinases have been cloned and expressed to facilitate their production and applications. A previous study of the same authors has characterized an endochitinase from a relatively novel Trichoderma spp., Trichoderma asperellum. To produce this enzyme more economically and efficiently, we reported the synthesis and expression of its synthetic encoding gene in the Escherichia coli M15 strain and established the optimal conditions for preparative scale production of the enzyme in its functional form. By lowering the induction temperatures, we observed substantial improvement in the expression levels of the active enzyme.  At 30 oC and 0.5 mM IPTG induction, 1 L of cells yielded approximately 80 - 100 mg of soluble protein, accounting for about 9-11 % of total soluble protein. This figure may be an underestimation of the actual yield, as deduced from the SDS-PAGE data. The recombinant enzyme can be retrieved by simple repeated freezing and thawing cycles and purified to near homogeneity using Ni-NTA chromatography. The purified enzyme showed in vitro colloidal chitin hydrolysis activity. These results could be scaled up to produce soluble 42 kDa chitinase in E. coli. The study demonstrated an economical method to produce chitinases for various agricultural and environmental applications.

Introdução: O fitopatógeno Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, causador da doença conhecida popularmente como mofo-branco, acomete diversas culturas agrícolas em todo o mundo, sendo a soja uma das principais monoculturas mais afetadas. Seu alto grau de patogenicidade está associado à sua capacidade de formar escleródios que atuam como mecanismo de resistência e sobrevivência, podendo permanecer viáveis no solo por mais de dez anos e, em muitos casos, são resistentes aos agroquímicos. Considerando a necessidade de métodos biotecnológicos que contribuam no desenvolvimento agrícola sem promover danos ao ambiente e a população, os agentes de controle biológico (ACBs) são hoje vistos como um excelente artifício. Fungos do gênero Trichoderma podem ser considerados ACBs sagazes por apresentar inúmeros mecanismos com alto potencial antagônico a diversos fitopatógenos, que prejudicam a germinação de esporos, o crescimento das hifas e o desenvolvimento de escleródios. Objetivo: Avaliar o potencial antagônico de isolados de Trichoderma em inibir o crescimento micelial do fitopatógeno S. sclerotiorum através da liberação de metabólitos voláteis. Material e Métodos: Para análise da produção de metabólitos voláteis, os isolados Trichoderma harzianum ALL-42 e o Trichoderma asperellum TR-356 e o fitopatógeno S. sclerotiorum, foram dispostos em fundos de placas de Petri com meio Batata Dextrose Ágar (BDA), em face opostas ao outro, onde, no inferior estava o isolado de Trichoderma e no superior o fitopatógeno. Uma placa controle contendo apenas o fitopatógeno foi feita para comparação dos resultados. Resultados: Ambos isolados de Trichoderma apresentaram resultados positivos na inibição do crescimento micelial de S. sclerotiorum. Conclusão: A produção de metabólitos voláteis é uma ação secundária do gênero Trichoderma, ou seja, sua sobrevivência não depende desse mecanismo, ainda assim, esses metabólitos agem contra os antagonistas presentes no meio. Com isso, podemos verificar o quão eficiente é esse gênero como agente de controle biológico, entretanto, outros isolados precisam ser testados no intuito de encontrarmos agentes mais especialistas na defesa contra o fitopatógeno S. sclerotiorum, e dessa forma instigar os benefícios do emprego de agentes biotecnológicos no campo, visando a redução da aplicação de produtos químicos na agricultura.

Brown root rot (BRR), caused by the white rot fungus Phellinus noxius, is an epidemic disease of diverse broadleaved and coniferous tree species in many tropical and subtropical regions. Flooding and trenching control measures are difficult to implement, and chemical controls can have an adverse impact on ecosystems. Previous studies have provided in vitro evidence for the potential use of Trichoderma spp. for biocontrol of BRR. Here, we analyzed the in vitro antagonistic and mycoparasitic abilities of four Trichoderma spp. isolates against four P. noxius isolates in dual culture and Ficus microcarpa wood blocks. A convenient inoculation system based on root inoculation of a highly susceptible loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) with P. noxius-colonized wheat-oat grains was developed to examine the effect of Trichoderma treatment in planta. Preventive application of Trichoderma asperellum TA, the isolate showing high antagonistic activity in vitro, was effective in preventing and delaying the wilting of P. noxius-inoculated loquat cuttings in greenhouse trials. To understand the specific niche in which T. asperellum TA interacts with P. noxius, KOH-aniline blue fluorescence microscopy was used to investigate the colonization of loquat roots by P. noxius and/or T. asperellum TA. Dilution plating assays were also conducted to quantify Trichoderma populations in the rhizosphere and potting mix. T. asperellum TA was able to robustly establish in the rhizosphere and potting mix but with scarce root penetration limited to the superficial layer. We discuss the timing and strategy for applying antagonistic Trichodema sp. on living trees or in BRR-infested areas for BRR management.

Postharvest disease is an important limiting factor for sweetpotato production. Recently, a new green mold disease was found in sweetpotato storage roots. To investigate the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of the disease, the pathogen was isolated and identified based on morphological and molecular features, and its characteristics were further analyzed by pathogenic and antagonistic evaluations. The results showed that the isolated pathogen (CRI-Ta1) was identified as Trichoderma asperellum based on the similar growth and morphological features with Trichoderma spp., 99% homology of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence and membership to the same phylogenetic group with the model strain of Trichoderma asperellum (CBS 433.97). The pathogenic analysis revealed that CRI-Ta1 could cause green mold disease through wound infection on the storage roots and the strains re-isolated from infected storage roots could cause disease in different sweetpotato varieties, which was fulfilled in Koch’s postulate. Moreover, CRI-Ta1 could also infect other common crop species, including chestnut, carrot, apple, pear, and others. It indicated that CRI-Ta1 was the pathogen to the storage roots of sweetpotato and had a wide host-range. Additionally, in vitro antagonistic evaluation showed that CRI-Ta1 effectively inhibited the growth of common sweetpotato pathogens, including Fusarium solani and Rhizopus nigricans. However, further research is needed on the potential of CRI-Ta1 to control sweetpotato diseases in vivo. Collectively, our findings provided valuable insights into the characteristics of the Trichoderma asperellum CRI-Ta1 in sweetpoatao and would be helpful to the prevention and control of sweetpotato green mold disease.
