Fig. 5From: Co-culture of Vel1-overexpressed Trichoderma asperellum and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens: An eco-friendly strategy to hydrolyze the lignocellulose biomass in soil to enrich the soil fertility, plant growth and disease resistanceInduction of defense gene expression in maize roots and shoots by the axenic, co-culture and modular co-culture of T. asperellum and B. amyloliquefaciens against Fusarium verticillioides and Cohilohorus herostrophus. Heat map profile of defense gene expression in a root and b leaves of non-amended soil were showed in terms of fold changes compared to the control (T1). Heat map profile of defense gene expression in c root and d leaves of corn stover amended soil were showed in terms of fold changes compared to the control (T8). Results are average of five replicates for each treatment; the values given are the standard error of the meanBack to article page
