Function |
Tvsp1 |
Trichoderma virens |
This gene encodes for serine protease. Rhizoctonia solani which affects the cotton seedlings has been controlled biologically by serine protease. |
tri5 |
Trichoderma harzianum |
This gene is responsible for the synthesis of the enzyme trichothecene which inhibits the protein and DNA synthesis in the cells of the pathogens and inhibits their growth. |
TgaA and TgaB |
Trichoderma virens, |
This gene exhibits antagonist activity against R. solani and Sclerotium rolfsii |
ThPG1 |
Trichoderma harzianum |
This gene encodes for endopoly- galacturonase. This enzyme involves in the cell wall degradation of the pathogens like R. solani and P. ultimum |
Th-Chit |
Trichoderma harzianum |
This gene is responsible for the antifungal activity in transgenic tobacco plant. |
tri5 |
Trichoderma brevicompactum |
This gene helps in the production of Trichodermin which shows antifungal activity against S. cerevisiae, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Candida albicans, C. glabrata, C. tropicalis and Aspergillus fumigates. |
erg1 |
Trichoderma harzianum |
This gene encodes an enzyme named squalene epoxidase, which helps in the synthesis of ergosterol and silencing of this gene provides resistance to terbinafine, an antifungal compound. |
TvGST |
Trichoderma virens |
This gene is responsible for cadmium tolerance |
Thkel1 |
Trichoderma harzianum |
This gene codes for putative kelch-repeat protein which helps in regulating the glucosidase activity and enhances tolerance to salt and osmotic stresses in Arabidopsis thaliana plants |
egl1. |
Trichoderma longibrachiatum |
This gene showed biocontrol activity against P. ultimum in damping- off of cucumber |
qid74 |
Trichoderma harzianum CECT 2413 |
This gene plays a significant role in cell protection and provide adherence to hydrophobic surfaces that helps the fungus in mycoparasitic activity against R. solani pathogen |
Taabc2 |
Trichoderma atroviride |
This gene has a significant role in ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter in cell membrane pump that helps in the mycoparasitic activity |
tac1 |
Trichoderma virens |
This gene has its role in mycoparasitic activity against R. solani and P. ultimum |
TrCCD1 |
Trichoderma reesei |
This gene involves in carotenoid metabolism that helps in the development of conidiospores and hyphal growth in T. reesei |
