| Abstract | ||||
| The fungus Stachybotrys chartarum was isolated from Orobanche seeds, which were collected from different localities of the Nile Delta, Egypt. In pot trials, mycelial suspension, as well as, the fungal filtrate completely prevent the attack of O.crenata to faba bean (Vicia faba) with. Also, fungal filtrate completely inhibited the germination of O.crenata and O.ramosa seeds induced by the synthetic germination stimulant GR24. Such effect was attributed to the presence of mycotoxin(s) secreted by the fungus. | ||||
