Abstract
Trichoderma spp. are best known for their biocontrol capabilities against a range of phytopathogenic microorganisms and increased plant drought tolerance. However, all the attributes of Trichoderma are also related to their ability to induce plant growth promotion by direct or indirect mechanisms. The activation of these mechanisms might be dependent on the ability of Trichoderma to respond to the environmental conditions and host plant.
