Positive effects of Cordyceps cateniannulata colonization in tobacco: Growth promotion and resistance to abiotic stress.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Entomopathogenic fungi can live in insects to cause disease and death and are the largest group of entomopathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, these fungi are best known for their microbial control potential. Importantly, they also have other beneficial effects, including promoting plant growth and development by colonizing plant. Here, the study sought to identify specific strains of the entomopathogenic fungus, Cordyceps cateniannulata that would form endophytic associations with tobacco, thus benefiting plant growth and resistance to abiotic stresses, thereby highlighting the application of entomopathogenic fungi in tobacco.

Methods

The C. cateniannulata-tobacco symbiont was constructed by root irrigation. The effects of C. cateniannulata o
