Novel mutations in β-tubulin gene in Trichoderma harzianum mutants resistant to methyl benzimidazol-2-YL carbamate

Abstract: Twelve low resistant (LR) mutants of Trichoderma harzianum with the capability of grow fast at 0.8 μg/mL methyl benzimidazol 2 yl carbamate (MBC) were obtained using UV mutagenesis. MR and HR mutants which could grow fast at 10 and 100 μg/mL MBC, respectively, were isolated by step up selection protocols in which UV treated mutants were induced and mycelial sector screening was made in plates with growth medium. Subsequently, β tubulin genes of 14 mutants were cloned to describe the molecular lesion likely to … Show more

“…Two substitutions with high resistance factors but not reported in the field are G13V and S168F, both found in Trichoderma harzianum (Li et al, 2013). The S168F mutant had the highest resistance factor with a 1572-fold increase in EC 50 compared to the wild-type, and the G13V mutant had a 96-fold increase.…”

“…Biological control with improved Trichoderma strains has proven to be a potential alternative to chemicals of several soil-borne plant pathogens [ 27 ]. In many cases, individual use of either biocontrol agents or chemicals could not provide satisfactory levels of control over soil-borne [ 8 ]. Attempts have been made to obtain resilient fungicide resistant strains for usage in integrated disease management [ 8 ].…”

“…There have been several successful reports regarding the development of novel Trichoderma strains by using mutagenesis which has led to enhanced fungicide tolerance and biocontrol potential [ 1 ]. Pesticide tolerance in Trichoderma would be a prerequisite to reduce the fungicide resistance in pathogens and to promote the plant health [ 8 ]. Pesticide-resistant Trichoderma in combination with reduced fungicide application would help in reducing the detrimental effects of the latter on soil along with ensuring satisfactory levels of crop protection [ 9 ].…”
