ABSTRACT
The present paper reviews a study on isolated fungal microflora from caster crops and checks its biochemical activity in plant defence mechanisms (phenol, proline, and protein). Percentage of seed germination in presence of fungal spore’s highest percentage in Aspergillus niger. Aspergillus niger treated plant showed the highest protein concentration three folds higher than the control. The Proline concentration in sample which was treated with fungus Aspergillus niger detected highest among remaining two fungi as compared to control. The aim of the present investigation is to isolate microflora from caster crop fields and observe the effects of fungal species on caster.
