The Role of Soil Inoculation with Trichoderma and Its Impact on Herbivore-Induced Plant Defenses in Olive Trees.
The aim of the project is to investigate the potential of bioinoculants, in particular the inoculation into the soil of the biocontrol fungus Trichoderma harzianum in the ability of olive trees to trigger defense responses upon attack, by addressing induced defenses upon simulated herbivory.
