Abstract

The bioprotection performance of against the root parasite was studied. We found that maize plants first grown with and at day 10 inoculated with showed improvements in biomass, and root length and number as compared with plants grown with alone. To validate our finding that inoculation with suppresses colonization by , we performed PCR analyses using - and -specific primers. Our results showed that inoculation with suppresses further colonization by . We hypothesized that as the colonization by increases, the presence of/colonization by decreases. In roots, catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione -transferase (GST) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were found to be higher in -colonized plants than in non-colonized plants. Increased activity of antioxidant enzymes minimizes the chances of oxidative burst (excessive production of reactive oxygen species), and therefore might be protected from the oxidative defence system during colonization. We also observed decreased antioxidant enzyme activities in plants first inoculated with and at day 10 inoculated with as compared with plants inoculated with alone. These decreased antioxidant enzyme activities due to the presence of help the plant to overcome the disease load of . We propose that can be used as a bioprotection agent against the root parasite
