Application
Biochem/physiol Actions
Crystal violet can be used for DNA visualization in agarose gels. The dye is used only in the presence of high concentrations of DNA.[3] Crystal violet is also used for the staining of bacteria in gram staining technique.[4] It is also used for the staining of plant chromosomes.[5] Crystal violet helps in colorimetric measurement of cell viability.[6]

Terrestrial plants can harbor endophytic fungi that may induce changes in plant physiology that in turn affect interactions with herbivorous insects. We evaluated whether the application of entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium brunneum to soybean seeds could become endophytic
