From Shield to Signal: A Critical Appraisal of Silicon-mediated Resistance to Fungal Pathogens in Plants

K. P. Amrutha & C. F. Gleena Mary · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2026

Silicon is not classified as an essential plant nutrient, yet supplying it lowers the severity of many fungal diseases in cultivated species, and the mechanistic explanation for that effect remains contested after more than three decades of experimental work. Two traditions domin...

Evaluation of Culture Filtrates of Endophytic Microorganisms from Tomato against Ralstonia solanacearum

Deepa James, C. F. Gleena Mary & Sally K. Mathew · International Journal of Environment and Climate Change · 2022

A novel approach to biological control using endophytes has gained immense potential in disease management. The endophytes constitute a valuable source of secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, terpenoids, sterols and phenolic compounds which play a major role in plant defense...
