“…In the tested plants the induction of systemic defence response to the R. solani-induced disease seemed to be strongly related to biocontrol activity of the TRS25 isolate. Special attention was paid to phenolic metabolism as its role in plant defence against pathogenic fungi was emphasised previously but not extensively studied for the Trichoderma-R. solani interaction (Rao et al 2015;López-Bucio et al 2015). Considerable increases in the concentrations of phenolics being hBA and cinnamic acid derivatives, flavonoids, and catechins were observed in TRS25 and TRS25+Rs plants.…”

“…include opportunistic fungi limiting the deleterious influence of phytopathogens naturally present in soil and rhizosphere. They may either directly control pathogens or induce substantial changes in metabolism enhancing plant resistance (Hermosa et al 2012;López-Bucio et al 2015). Induction of the plant defence mechanisms by selected Trichoderma spp.…”

“…may trigger in plants the extensive transcriptional reprogramming of genes involved in the production of phenolic compounds. Phenolics are widely distributed in cucumber, some of them occur constitutively, whereas others are synthesised in response to a pathogen attack where their appearance is considered as part of active defence (López-Bucio et al 2015;Rao et al 2015). Basically, their beneficial role results from antioxidant and antimicrobial properties as well as their ability to enhance plant structural barriers preventing the spread of infection (Treutter 2006;Mandal et al 2010;Ghassempour 2011).…”

Nawrocka J., Szczech M., Małolepsza U. (2018): Trichoderma atroviride enhances phenolic synthesis and cucumber protection against Rhizoctonia solani. Plant Protect. Sci., 54: 17-23.The treatment of cucumber plants with Trichoderma atroviride TRS25 (TRS25) provided protection against infection by Rhizoctonia solani. In plants inoculated with the pathogen, nontreated with Trichoderma, disease symptoms were observed on the roots, shoots, and leaves while in plants treated with TRS25 the spread of the disease was limited. The induction of systemic defence response in cucumber against R. solani infection seemed to be strongly related to the enhanced synthesis of phenolic compounds in plants. HPLC analysis indicated remarkable increases in the concentrations of 23 phenolics belonging to hydroxybenzoic acids, cinnamic acids, catechins, flavonols, flavons, and flavanons in the plants without systemic disease symptoms. We suggest that the accumulation of phenolic acids, flavonoids and de novo synthesis of catechins may strongly contribute to cucumber protection against R. solani.

“…The role of biostimulants, specifically in regard to growth promotion and nutrient availability, has been reviewed (du Jardin [1,[4][5][6]). In addition to numerous general reviews, many categories of specific biostimulants have been extensively reviewed such as protein hydrolysates [7], seaweed extracts [8], silicon [9], chitosan [10], humic and fulvic acids [11], the role of phosphite [12], arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi [13], trichoderma [14], plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria [15]. These reviews have focused on plant growth promotion and biotic stress but our intent with this review is to comprehensively address what is known about biostimulants ameliorating the effects of abiotic stress ( Table 1).…”

The use of bioeffectors, formally known as plant biostimulants, has become common practice in agriculture and provides a number of benefits in stimulating growth and protecting against stress. A biostimulant is loosely defined as an organic material and/or microorganism that is applied to enhance nutrient uptake, stimulate growth, enhance stress tolerance or crop quality. This review is intended to provide a broad overview of known effects of biostimulants and their ability to improve tolerance to abiotic stresses. Inoculation or application of extracts from algae or other plants have beneficial effects on growth and stress adaptation. Algal extracts, protein hydrolysates, humic and fulvic acids, and other compounded mixtures have properties beyond basic nutrition, often enhancing growth and stress tolerance. Non-pathogenic bacteria capable of colonizing roots and the rhizosphere also have a number of positive effects. These effects include higher yield, enhanced nutrient uptake and utilization, increased photosynthetic activity, and resistance to both biotic and abiotic stresses. While most biostimulants have numerous and diverse effects on plant growth, this review focuses on the bioprotective effects against abiotic stress. Agricultural biostimulants may contribute to make agriculture more sustainable and resilient and offer an alternative to synthetic protectants which have increasingly falling out of favour with consumers. An extensive review of the literature shows a clear role for a diverse number of biostimulants that have protective effects against abiotic stress but also reveals the urgent need to address the underlying mechanisms responsible for these effects.

“…Finally, the use of soil microorganisms (bacteria or fungus) as biostimulants for increasing the nutrient and water-use efficiency of horticultural crops has also been successfully tested (Acikgoz et al, 2016;L opez-Bucio, et al, 2015;Rouphael et al, 2015;Ruzzi and Aroca, 2015;Sahin and Turan, 2013). Yadav et al (2017) reported that the use of plant growth promoting bacteria (Azotobacter, Bacillus, and Pseudomonas, and other genera) may prove useful in developing strategies to facilitate plant growth under normal conditions, as well as under abiotic stress.…”
