M.Tech Thesis: Defense enhancement in tomato plant against bacterial wilt through the application of metabolites extracted from the endophytic Penicillium sp. PM031 Description: In this study, we are trying to utilize crude metabolites extracted from an endophytic fungal strain Penicillium sp. PM031 to induce resistance of tomato plants against this phytopathogen. We observed tissue-specific changes of total phenolic, flavonoid and lignin content, in endophytic fungal metabolites primed tomato plant as compared to plants that were not primed with endophytic fungal metabolites.
