Identification and growth-promoting effect of Paecilomyces lilacinus a biocontrol fungi for walnut rot disease

Scientists identified a beneficial fungus called Paecilomyces lilacinus from walnut soil that can fight walnut rot disease more safely than chemical fungicides. Testing showed this fungus not only kills the disease-causing pathogen but also boosts walnut seed germination and seedling growth by up to 98%. This natural solution could help walnut farmers protect their crops while avoiding harmful chemical pesticides.

Mycorrhizal fungus BJ1, a new species of Tulasnella sp.: its biological characteristics and promoting effect on seed germination of Bletilla striata

Researchers discovered a new type of fungus called Tulasnella sp. BJ1 that forms beneficial partnerships with Bletilla striata, a traditional Chinese medicinal plant. When this fungus was used with the plant’s seeds, germination rates and seedling growth improved significantly compared to seeds grown alone. The fungus helps by producing growth-promoting substances like plant hormones and breaking down nutrients that the developing plants can absorb. This finding offers a practical method to grow more B. striata plants efficiently for medicinal use.
