Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, nohutlarda Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris tarafından kaynaklanan Fusarium solgunluğu hastalığına karşı biyolojik kontrol ajanı olarak Serendipita indica adlı bir basidiomycete endofit fungusun etkinliğini değerlendirmektir.
Materyal ve Yöntem: Serendipita indica klamidosporları çimlendirilen JG62 çeşidinin köklerine uygulanmış ve uygulamadan 1 hafta sonra Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris ırk 5 inokulasyonu yapılmıştır. Hastalık şiddeti ve bitki yaş ağırlığı inokulasyondan 25 gün sonra ölçülmüştür., Serendipita indica ve Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris kolonizasyonu fungal DNA miktarının zamana bağlı olarak qPCR ile belirlenmesiyle izlenmiştir. Funguslar arasındaki antagonistik etkileşimler ikili-kültür yöntemi kullanılarak belirlenmiştir.
Araştırma Bulguları: Serendipita indica başarılı bir şekilde nohut köklerini işgal ederek köklerdeki Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris biyomasının azalmasına ve Fusarium enfeksiyonu tarafından neden olan solgunluk ve sararma gibi belirtilerin azalmasına neden olmuştur. Ayrıca, Serendipita indica'nın Fusarium solgunluğu etmenine karşı doğrudan antagonistik etkisi bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Bu sonuçlar, nohutta Fusarium solgunluğuna karşı sürdürülebilir stratejiler geliştirmede Serendipita indica'nın biyolojik kontrol ajanı olarak potansiyelini göstermektedir.

Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of Serendipita indica, a basidiomycete endophyte, as a biological control agent against Fusarium wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris in disease susceptible chickpea cultivar JG62.
Material and Methods: Chlamydospores of Serendipita indica were applied to the roots of the germinated JG62 variety, followed by inoculation with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris race 5 one week after the application. Disease severity and plant fresh weight were measured 25 days after inoculation. The colonization pattern of Serendipita indica and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris were monitored by quantifying fungal DNA using qPCR over time. The antagonistic interactions between the fungi were determined using the dual-culture method.
Results: Serendipita indica successfully colonized the chickpea roots leading to a decrease in biomass of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris in the roots and diminished the overall symptoms such as wilting and yellowing caused by Fusarium infection. Besides, direct antagonistic effect of Serendipita indica was found against Fusarium in vivo conditions.
Conclusion: These results indicate the potential of Serendipita indica as a biological control agent in developing sustainable strategies for managing Fusarium wilt of chickpea.
