Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Msh5 was identified as Acrophialophora jodhpurensis.
- Observation The endophyte produced IAA, urease, siderophore and enzymes and solubilized phosphate.
- Intervention effect Msh5 inhibited Alternaria growth in culture assays.
- Intervention effect Endophyte supernatant reduced Alternaria spore germination and altered its hyphae.
- Intervention effect Root colonization reduced Alternaria disease progress.
- Intervention effect Sugar was the most effective coating for enhancing growth and reducing disease.
- Recommendation The authors suggest Msh5 as a tomato biofertilizer and biocontrol agent.
