Course Details

Plant Material Grinding:

  • Grind plant material into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or grinder to facilitate phytochemical extraction.

Phytochemical Extraction:

  • Place the powdered plant material in a thimble and extract it with a suitable solvent (e.g., ethanol, methanol, or water).
  • Utilize the Soxhlet extraction method to continuously extract phytochemicals from the plant material.
  • Collect the concentrated extract in a receiving flask attached to the Soxhlet apparatus.
  • Evaporate the solvent under reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator to obtain the crude phytochemical extract.
  • Preliminary identification of phytochemicals in the extract, including amino acids, proteins, alkaloids, triterpenoids, flavonoids, and phenols.

Inoculation with Microbes:

  • Inoculate plants with beneficial microbes (e.g., rhizobacteria, mycorrhizae) and pathogenic microbes to study their effects on plant health and disease resistance.
  • Monitoring Plant Health:
  • Monitor plant health and disease symptoms over time, recording changes in growth, vigor, and disease severity.

Evaluation of Microbial Inoculants:

  • Evaluate the impact of microbial inoculants on enhancing plant resistance to pathogens by comparing disease symptoms and growth parameters between inoculated and non-inoculated plants.

Biocontrol Using Antagonistic Microbes:

  • Isolate antagonistic microbes (e.g., Trichoderma spp., Bacillus spp.) from soil or plant rhizosphere.
  • Assess the antagonistic activity of isolated microbes against plant pathogens in vitro and in planta.
  • Investigate mechanisms of action involved in biocontrol, such as competition for nutrients or production of antimicrobial compounds.

Pathogen Inhibition Assays:

  • Perform in vitro assays to determine the inhibitory effect of antagonistic microbes on the growth of plant pathogens using dual culture or agar diffusion methods.

Molecular methods

DNA Extraction:

  • Isolate DNA from plant tissues, microbial cultures, or environmental samples using appropriate extraction methods.

PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction):

  • Amplify specific DNA sequences of interest, such as microbial genes involved in pathogenesis or plant defense responses.
  • Perform quantitative PCR (qPCR) to quantify gene expression levels and assess changes in gene expression during interactions.

Sequencing:

  • Sequence amplified DNA fragments to determine their nucleotide sequence and identify genetic variations or functional elements.

Gene Expression Analysis:

  • Perform reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) to analyze gene expression levels of specific plant or microbial genes.
