TriV_JSB100 spores cultured on barley grain (BGS), TriV_JSB100 cell‐free culture filtrate (CF), BGS followed by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici inoculation (BGS + FOL), CF followed by FOL inoculation (CF + FOL), FOL and sterile distilled water (Mock). Values are means of four independent replicates (n = 4). Significant levels are given as: *P < 0.05, ^† P < 0.01 and ^‡ P < 0.001, according to Tukey's honestly significant difference test. ns, not significant.

DW, dry weight; FW, fresh weight.
