In Vitro Assessment of Eight Selected Indigenous Fungal Isolates Tolerance to Various Abiotic Stresses and their Effects on Seed Germination
Fungal bio-control agents (BCA) can minimize use of agro-chemicals while increasing plant productivity and tolerance to biotic-abiotic stressors. Ideally, BCA should tolerate varying environmental conditions they are introduced into, to successfully dominate and protect plants from stressors. Howeve...

description | Fungal bio-control agents (BCA) can minimize use of agro-chemicals while increasing plant productivity and tolerance to biotic-abiotic stressors. Ideally, BCA should tolerate varying environmental conditions they are introduced into, to successfully dominate and protect plants from stressors. However, BCA are living micro-organisms, their survival and efficacy can be impeded by extreme conditions. The current study aimed at evaluating whether indigenous fungal isolates, viz, Aspergillus flavus, A. terreus, Penicillium sp. AL-38 IRH-2012b, Talaromyces minioluteus, T. purpureogenus, T. sayulitensis, Trichoderma ghanense and T. viride can tolerate different levels of salinity, pH, nutrient and temperature. Certain fungal species are pests with potential of destroying many crops; the pathogenic effects of the aforementioned fungal isolates were further assessed on different crops’ seeds. The results showed that, although being indigenous, Aspergillus, T. sayulitensis and T. ghanense failed to thrive in high salinity and pH. While Penicillium sp. AL-38 IRH-2012b failed to thrive under reduced nutrient level and all fungal isolates failed to grow at 10–20 °C. Furthermore, it was noted species within the same genus could affect crops in both favorable and unfavorable ways. The study demonstrated that the selected indigenous fungal isolates can tolerate different abiotic conditions and have potential to improve seed germination and seedling growth.
