Elicitation of Novel Trichogenic-Lipid Nanoemulsion Signaling Resistance Against Pearl Millet Downy Mildew Disease.

ABSTRACT: Nanoemulsion was formulated from membrane lipids of Trichoderma spp. with the non-ionic surfactant Tween 80 by the ultrasonic emulsification method. Nanoemulsion with a droplet diameter of 5 to 51 nm was obtained. The possible effects of membrane lipid nanoemulsion on pearl millet (PM) seed growth parameters and elicitation of downy mildew (DM) disease resistance in PM was analyzed to develop an eco-friendly disease management strategy. Seed priming with nanoemulsion illustrates significant protection and elevated levels of early defense gene expression. Lipid profiling of Trichoderma spp. reveals the presence of oleic acid as a major fatty acid molecule. The prominent molecule in the purified lipid fraction of T. brevicompactum (UP-91) responsible for the elicitation of induction of syste
