<i>Trichoderma</i> Counteracts the Challenge of <i>Phytophthora nicotianae</i> Infections on Tomato by Modulating Plant Defense Mechanisms and the Expression of Crinkler, Necrosis-Inducing <i>Phytophthora</i> Protein 1, and Cellulose-Binding Elicitor Lectin Pathogenic Effectors.

A decreasing trend in the expression of PR-encoding genes was reported from different lines of tomato after the inoculation with Botrytis cinerea ( Tucci et al., 2011 ); at the same time, proteomic studies on levels of PR proteins in Trichoderma -treated plants reported increments in pepper under P. capsici infection ( Ezziyyani et al., 2017 ), in cucumber and maize (inoculated with Pythium ultimum and Colletotrichum graminicola , respectively) ( Harman et al., 2004 ), and decrements in bean under leaf infection by B. cinerea and Rhizoctonia solani ( Marra et al., 2006 ).
