Establishment of root symbiosis has been reported as one of the key drivers of biocontrol success for members of the fungal genus Trichoderma.The ability to colonise and then proliferate over time within the rhizosphere is termed rhizosphere competence, and there have been numerous reports of Trichoderma biocontrol strains which persist within the rhizosphere over the growing season of the crop plant.In this study, we are exploring the role of a putative oligosaccharide transporter (Ta-MRT) (orthologue of MrtMetarhizium raffinose transporter) in rhizosphere competency in Trichoderma atroviride LU132.
