Antifungal activity of wheat root exudate extracts on Gaeumannomyces graminis var. Tritici growth

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is known for its ability to produce and release al-lelopathic compounds, which have potential for controlling weeds and diseases. Previous reports have shown the fungitoxic effects of allelochemicals present in wheat. Thus, these compounds can be exuded by roots to prote...
