Abstract
BACKGROUND: species against a diverse range of plant pathogenic fungi has led them to be used as a biological fungicide in agriculture. They can also promote plant growth, fertility, resistance to stress, and absorption of nutrients. They are also opportunistic and symbiotic pathogens, which can lead to the activation of plant defense mechanisms. OBJECTIVES: . MATERIAL AND METHODS: wild-type and its mutants were obtained via SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. RESULTS: (2 proteins). CONCLUSIONS: Overall, there was a strong link between the diversity of various chitinase proteins and the antagonistic properties of the mutant M8.
