| description | <i>Trichoderma atroviride</i>, a soil fungus, has important applications in the biocontrol of plant diseases. Glycosyltransferases enhance the root colonization ability of <i>Trichoderma</i> spp. This study aimed to functionally characterize glycosyltransferase Taugt17b1 in <i>T. atroviride</i>. We investigated the effect of <i>Taugt17b1</i> overexpression in <i>T. atroviride</i> H18-1-1 on its biocontrol properties, especially its ability to colonize roots. Our results demonstrated that the overexpression of the <i>Taugt17b1</i> increases the <i>T. atroviride</i> colony growth rate, improves its root colonization ability, promotes the growth and activity of the defensive enzymatic system of plants, and prevents plant diseases. This study put forth a new role of <i>T. atroviride</i> glycosyltransferase and furthered the understanding of the mechanisms by which fungal biocontrol agents exert their effect. |
