Abstract

The induction of total soluble phenol and protein content in root and shoot tissues of mung bean using four antagonists viz., T. atroviride (Ta-JOB), T. viride (Tv-BKN), T. harzianum (Th-JU) and P. fluorescens (Pf-SIKR) were investigated under green house conditions. The total soluble phenol content was higher in P. fluorescens (Pf-SIKR) treatment followed by T. atroviride (Ta-JOB) treatment in root as well as in shoot tissues at 15, 25 and 35 DAS. The total soluble protein content was higher in T. harzianum (Th-JU) and P. fluorescens (Pf-SIKR) treatments in root and shoot tissues at all stages of plant growth.
