Gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici (Ggt) the causal pathogen of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) take-all disease is very destructive in north, central and southwest provinces in Iran as well as in the world. The endophytic fungi Piriformospora indica and Sebacina vermifera are newly discovered arbuscular mycorrhiza-like fungi that could be found in close association with various plant species. But compared to mycorrhizal fungi, these are amenable to axenic cultivation. These fungi tremendously improve the growth and overall biomass production of different plants like herbaceous monocots, dicots, trees, including medicinal plants and several economically important crops. Trichoderma harzianum and T. viride are efficient biocontrol agents that are commercially applied to prevent development of several soilborne pathogenic fungi. The experimental design was a completely randomized design with three replication. Average of two repeated experiments. A factorial experiment was conducted based on completely randomize block design with 3 replications. Analysis of variance using SAS software (SAS Institute, 1988) was carried out on plant growth measurements. Treatment means were compared with Duncan test at the 5% level of probability. The effect of the interactions among mycorrhiza-like fungi, Trichoderma species and Ggt on root of wheat in greenhouse were investigated and demonstrated that these fungi could inhibit progressive takeall disease in roots of wheat plants. |
