Biocontrol effects of <i>Penicillium griseofulvum</i> against monkshood ( <i>Aconitum carmichaelii</i> Debx.) root diseases caused by <i>Sclerotium rolfsiii</i> and <i>Fusarium</i> spp.

Abstract

Genes related to sclerotia formation of S. rolfsii are predicted for the first time and their expression patterns in the presence of P. griseofulvum strain CF3 are evaluated. This comprehensive study provides a candidate fungal biocontrol strain and reveals its potential mechanisms against S. rolfsii and F. oxysporum in A. carmichaelii plants.
