Some arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have shown the ability to reduce the population of this pathogen; however, most studies do not consider other relevant aspects that have to do with the crop or the fungus. The purpose of this work was to select an isolated mycorrhizal fungus based on a comprehensive analysis of the Nematode–Plant–Mycorrhizal Fungus system. The test was conducted on <i>Solanum lycopersicum</i> L. grown in pots. The evaluated isolates were <i>Funneliformis mosseae</i>, <i>Rhizoglomus intraradices A2</i>, and <i>Rhizoglomus intraradices B1</i>. All the isolates reduced the nematode population significantly; however, differences in the content of photosynthetic pigments, soluble proteins, and osmoregulatory metabolites were identified. All of these impacted on the photosynthetic rates of the different treatments. There were also differences in the growth of the fungi within the roots, and in the viability of the fungal structures. The comprehensive analysis of the plant–nematode–fungus group allows us to conclude that the isolate with the greatest capacity to compensate for the negative effect of parasitism, and with the greatest possibility of lasting as a biocontrol agent is <i>Funneliformis mosseae</i>.</p>","PeriodicalId":19111,"journal":{"name":"Mycological Progress","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138818479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To enable beginners, researchers for which phylogeny is just one tool of many, and scientists in biodiversity discovery a quick and easy access to current phylogenetic methods, the TrEase web service with an intuitive interface was developed. It offers a complete pipeline with commonly used phylogeny-related software, which can run the whole process of sequence acquisition, reference sequence search, alignment and phylogenetic inference with a single execution command once the necessary parameters have been selected from drop-down menus. It allows choosing alternate programmes for each step and also offers the flexibility to use any part of the pipeline independently. Along with providing a compact pipeline, this web service provides several functionalities to avoid manual intervention such as sorting sequences into the same orientation, cutting reference sequences, removal of redundant sequences and the possibility to choose reference sequences from top ‘species’ hits instead of top GenBank entry hits.
