“…Root watering treatment showed high efficiency to control seed gall disease scoring 15.4% lowest infectivity [Figure 4] and 46.71% highest DR [Figure 5] in Aras variety, compared to foliar spraying. Root watering treatment with T. harzianum might minimize A. tritici infection much effectively than foliar spraying through direct interaction with J2 individuals, systemic induced resistance, and/or promoting or inducing plant growth [24,25]. This study confirmed the incidence of A. tritici in two Iraqi provinces, Kirkuk and Wasit.…”

A field experiment was performed to assess the susceptibility of Triticum aestivum L. var. Cham 6, Aras, and Baraka wheat local varieties, treated with Trichoderma harzianum Rifai bioagent, against seed gall infection. Anguina tritici identification was confirmed based on PCR amplification and sequence comparison of 18S small subunit ribosomal DNA. Sequence analysis showed A. tritici isolated from Waset and Kirkuk provinces shared 100% maximum nucleotide sequence identity with the equivalent GenBank sequences from Mexico (AF363107) and India (JF826516), respectively, suggesting their common origin. Field experiment revealed that T. aestivum L. var. Aras was less susceptible to seed call infection when scored 28.9% infectivity percent followed by Baraka and Cham 6 varieties which scored 29.6 and 33.1% infectivity, respectively. T. harzianum root watering treatment could decrease the disease incidence when scored 15.4, 17.5, and 19.7% compared to spraying treatment which scored 19.3, 20.8, and 22.4% infectivity, for Aras, Baraka, and Cham 6 varieties, respectively. Besides, root watering treatment reduced seed gall disease up to 46.71% compared to 33.22% for foliar spraying treatment. Thus, T. harzianum bioagent can be used as an ecofriendly nematicide alternative to control seed gall disease in Iraq.

“…In recent years, a range of Trichoderma applications has undergone considerable expansion, facilitated by rapid ongoing developments in the field of biotechnology (Benitez et al, 2004 ; Bischof et al, 2016 ; TariqJaveed et al, 2021 ; Xie et al, 2021 ; Zhang et al, 2021 ). Notable in this regard has been the advances made in genetic modification and the generation of massive amounts of genomic data for this genus, including T. reesei (Martinez et al, 2008 ), T. atroviride (Kubicek et al, 2011 ), T. virens (Kubicek et al, 2011 ), T. longibrachiatum (Kubicek et al, 2011 ), T. harzianum (Steindorff et al, 2014 ), and T. asperellum (Druzhinina et al, 2018 ; Kubicek et al, 2019 ; Li, Lin et al, 2021 ; Li, Liu et al, 2021 ).…”

Given their lignocellulose degradability and biocontrol activities, fungi of the ubiquitously distributed genus Trichoderma have multiple industrial and agricultural applications. Genetic manipulation plays a valuable role in tailoring novel engineered strains with enhanced target traits. Nevertheless, as applied to fungi, the classic tools of genetic manipulation tend to be time‐consuming and tedious. However, the recent development of the CRISPR‐Cas system for gene editing has enabled researchers to achieve genome‐wide gene disruptions, gene replacements, and precise editing, and this technology has emerged as a primary focus for novel developments in engineered strains of Trichoderma. Here, we provide a brief overview of the traditional approaches to genetic manipulation, the different strategies employed in establishing CRSIPR‐Cas systems, the utilization of these systems to develop engineered strains of Trichoderma for desired applications, and the future trends in biotechnology.

“…Fungi belonging to the Trichoderma genus are cosmopolitan species, with 488 species identified [1]. Several of these species have been widely studied as biocontrol agents against phytopathogenic fungi [2] and nematodes [3,4], insects [5], and weeds [6], and as plant growth promoters [7,8]. The nematicidal potential of Trichoderma species is increasingly being harnessed to develop new and safer biocontrol agents against parasitic nematodes such as Globodera pallida, Heterodera avenae, Meloidogyne incognita, M. javanica, M. hapla, and Pratylenchus brachyurus [8,9].…”

The nematicidal properties of Trichoderma species have potential for developing safer biocontrol agents. In the present study, 13 native Trichoderma strains from T. citrinoviride, T. ghanense (2 strains), T. harzianum (4), T. koningiopsis, T. simmonsii, and T. virens (4) with nematicidal activity were selected and cultured in potato dextrose broth to obtain a culture filtrate (CF) for each. Each CF was partitioned with ethyl acetate to obtain organic (EA) and residual filtrate (RF) fractions, which were then tested on second-stage juveniles (J2s) of the nematodes Meloidogyne javanica and M. incognita in a microdilution assay. The most lethal strains were T. harzianum Th43-14, T. koningiopsis Th41-11, T. ghanense Th02-04, and T. virens Th32-09, which caused 51–100% mortality (%M) of J2s of both nematodes, mainly due to their RF fractions. Liquid chromatography–diode array detector-electrospray-high resolution mass spectrometry analysis of the most-active fractions revealed sesquiterpene and polyketide-like metabolites produced by the four active strains. These native Trichoderma strains have a high potential to develop safer natural products for the biocontrol of Meloidogyne species.
