Trichoderma species T. parareesei (T6), T. atroviride (T11), T. asperellum (T25), T. harzianum (T34), T. koningii (T77), T. virens (T87), T. brevicompactum (T120), T. hamatum (T123) were used
Quantification of Trichoderma DNA in M. polymorpha was performed by qPCR
1Quantity of M. polymorpha DNA (ng) referred to EF1 gene
2Quantity of Trichoderma DNA (ng) referred to Actin gene
3Proportion of fungal DNA vs. plant DNA. Values are the means of three plant-pools (eight plants each one) from three independent experiments with the corresponding standard deviations. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed, followed by the Tukey’s test. Different letters represent significant differences (P < 0.05)
