Expression of defense-related genes in mung bean varieties in response to Trichoderma virens alone and in the presence of Rhizoctonia solani infection.

ABSTRACT: Web blight/wet root rot caused by Rhizoctonia solani is one of the major constraints for mung bean (Vigna radiata) production. Growing of resistant varieties and use of biocontrol agents are the feasible options available to manage the disease. The present study was conducted to determine the variation in the expression of various defense-related genes in susceptible and resistant mung bean varieties in response to biocontrol agent Trichoderma virens and R. solani interactions. The primers were designed using sequences of defense-related genes, namely PR 10, epoxide hydrolase (EH), catalase and calmodulin available in NCBI database and evaluated against cDNA obtained from both susceptible and resistant mung bean plants at 1-4 days post-inoculation (dpi) with the
