Phosphate-solubilizing fungus (PSF) strain alaromyces funiculosus was investigated for phosphorus solubilization, utilizing a range of pH levels and phosphate sources, followed by data confirmation through artificial intelligence modeling. T. funiculosus strain was exposed to five different phosphate sources [Ca(PO), FePO, CaHPO, AlPO, and phytin] at different pH levels (4.

Article Synopsis
  • Plant pathogens and pests pose major challenges to crop protection globally, necessitating new, effective, and environmentally friendly control methods.
  • Traditional plant breeding has evolved with genetic engineering, particularly RNA interference (RNAi), to enhance plant resistance against various diseases.
  • Recent advancements in RNAi show promise, with dsRNA sprays and transgenic plants effectively managing plant diseases and supporting sustainable agriculture.

Due to being sessile, plants develop a broad range of defense pathways when they face abiotic or biotic stress factors. Although plants are subjected to more than one type of stress at a time in nature, the combined effects of either multiple stresses of one kind (abiotic or biotic) or more kinds (abiotic and biotic) have now been realized in agricultural lands due to increases in global warming and environmental pollution, along with population increases. Soil-borne pathogens, or pathogens infecting aerial parts, can have devastating effects on plants when combined with other stressors.

The current study was carried out to screen 10 isolates (ARS-01-ARS-10) of from potato tubers cv. Kuroda, which were collected from various potato fields in Multan, Pakistan. The isolates were found to be morphologically identical, as the hyphae exhibit the production of branches at right angles and acute angles often accompanied by septum near the emerging branches.

is one of the most common soil-borne fungal pathogens of legume crops worldwide. We collected rDNA-ITS sequences from NCBI GenBank, and the aim of this study was to examine the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of various anastomosis groups (AGs) that are commonly associated with grain legumes (such as soybean, common bean, pea, peanut, cowpea, and chickpea) and forage legumes (including alfalfa and clover). Soybean is recognized as a host for multiple AGs, with AG-1 and AG-2 being extensively investigated.
