"Biological control of Botrytis cinerea and plant growth promotion potential by Penicillium citrinum in chickpea\r\n(Cicer arietinum L.)"^^ . "A total of 48 fungi were characterised for their antagonistic potential against\r\nBotrytis cinerea causing Botrytis Gray Mold (BGM) disease in chickpea by dual\r\nculture and metabolite production assays. The culture filtrate of the most\r\npromising isolate, VFI-51, was purified by various chromatographic techniques\r\nand identified as ‘citrinin’ by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry\r\nstudies. The efficacy of citrinin was demonstrated to control BGM in chickpea\r\nunder greenhouse conditions. The sequences of 18S rDNA gene of the VFI-51\r\nmatched with Penicillium citrinum in BLAST analysis. The VFI-51 produced\r\nsiderophore, hydrocyanic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, lipase, protease and β-1,3-\r\nglucanase; grew well in NaCl (up to 15%), at pH between 7 and 11 and\r\ntemperatures between 20°C and 40°C; and was compatible with fungicides\r\nbavistin and thiram. Under greenhouse and field conditions, VFI-51 significantly\r\nenhanced the nodule number, nodule weight, root and shoot weight and stover\r\nand grain yield over the un-inoculated control. In the rhizosphere, VFI-51 also\r\nsignificantly enhanced total N, available P and OC over the un-inoculated control.\r\nScanning electron microscopy analysis revealed that VFI-51 colonised on the\r\nroots of chickpea. This study concluded that VFI-51 has the potential for\r\nbiocontrol of BGM and plant growth promotion in chickpea."^^ . "2015" . . "25" . "7" . . "Taylor & Francis"^^ . . .
