Controlling the hazard of sclerotia produced by the Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is very complex, and it is urgent to adopt an effective method that is harmonious environmentally to control the disease. Among the six isolates isolated from the rhizosphere of lettuce, the isolate HZA84 demonstrated a high activity in its antagonism towards Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in vitro, and produces siderophore. By amplification of internal transcribed spacer (ITS), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1-α), and RNA polymerase II subunit (RPB2) genes, the isolate HZA84 was identified as Trichoderma asperellum, which was confirmed by analysis of phylogenetic tree.

Bacterial brown stripe disease caused by is a major threat to crop yields, and the current reliance on pesticides for control is unsustainable due to environmental pollution and resistance. To address this, bacterial-based ligands have been explored as a potential treatment solution. In this study, we developed a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network for by utilizing shared differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and the STRING database.

The environmental impact of industrial development has been well-documented. The use of physical and chemical methods in industrial development has negative consequences for the environment, raising concerns about the sustainability of this approach. There is a growing need for advanced technologies that are compatible with preserving the environment.

To control the disease caused by , a total of 15 isolates of the species was screened for the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Among them, the highest yield occurred in the synthesis of AgNPs using a cell-free aqueous filtrate of HZA14 producing gliotoxin. The synthetic AgNPs were charactered by SEM, EDS, TEM, XRD, and FTIR.
