Biological control of potato common scab by plant-beneficial bacteria

Adrien Biessy et al.

Summary: Potato common scab is a significant disease caused by various Streptomyces species, and traditional methods are ineffective in controlling it. However, using plant-beneficial bacteria as biocontrol agents can greatly reduce the incidence and severity of scab. Several bacterial strains have been successfully used to suppress potato common scab, but further research is needed to understand their biocontrol mechanisms and success factors.

Use of Bacillus velezensis SDTB022 against tobacco black shank (TBS) and the biochemical mechanism involved

Yue Qiu et al.

Summary: Although strain SDTB022 showed poor direct inhibitory effect against the mycelial growth of Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae, it promoted plant growth, increased yield, and enhanced plant defense responses. Through the upregulation of defense enzymes and systemic acquired resistance pathways in tobacco, B. velezensis SDTB022 has the potential to effectively control TBS disease and could be used as a biological pesticide in modern agriculture.

Plant-associated Bacillus and Pseudomonas antimicrobial activities in plant disease suppression via biological control mechanisms-A review

Ivica Dimkic et al.

Summary: Biocontrol strains from the genera Bacillus and Pseudomonas play beneficial roles in plant health by directly inhibiting pathogens, promoting plant growth, inducing systemic resistance, and producing bioactive compounds like lipopeptides and volatile substances. These bacteria are effective against a wide range of phytopathogens and pests, enhancing plant defense mechanisms and inhibiting pathogen growth through various mechanisms like antibiosis, ISR, and competition for resources.

Revisiting the Role of Hyperparasitism in the Evolution of Virulence

Simran K. Sandhu et al.

Summary: Hyperparasitism refers to a natural phenomenon where a parasite infecting a host is in turn infected by its own parasite, which can have a deleterious impact on pathogens but may also be used as a tool for biological control. The presence of hyperparasites may lead to an increase in parasite virulence and even potentially result in the hyperparasite's evolutionary suicide, despite its often overlooked impact.

Potent antiplasmodial alkaloids from the rhizobacterium Pantoea agglomerans as hemozoin modulators

Bathini Thissera et al.

Summary: The study successfully isolated a variety of hydroxyquinoline derivatives from Pantoea agglomerans, based on genomics and metabolomics analysis, including one new alkaloid. These compounds showed potent activity in screening for antiplasmodial activity, suggesting potential as lead compounds for antimalarial drugs.

Trichoderma asperellum efficiently protects Quercus robur leaves against Erysiphe alphitoides

Tomasz Oszako et al.

Summary: The study showed that Trichoderma asperellum IZR D-11 has potential as a biocontrol agent against the oak powdery mildew, reducing disease progression and increasing photosynthetic activity and assimilate production in treated plants. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis detected 49 volatile compounds mainly consisting of sesquiterpenes emitted by T. asperellum, which may be involved in induced plant resistance. Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms of this biocontrol agent.

The Threat of Pests and Pathogens and the Potential for Biological Control in Forest Ecosystems

Amel Balla et al.

Summary: Forests are essential for supporting biodiversity, sequestering carbon, and playing a crucial role in biogeochemical cycles, but they are facing various threats from natural disasters, human activities, and pests and pathogens. Biocontrol may be an effective alternative to chemical pesticides, with promising results shown for the application of microbial inoculants as preventive measures against forest pests and pathogens.

Delving into defence: identifying the Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 gene suite involved in defence against secreted products of fungal, oomycete and bacterial rhizosphere competitors

Silas H. W. Vick et al.

Summary: PGPR exhibit competitive behaviors by producing inhibitory compounds against other microbes, while their defensive mechanisms against inhibitory compounds produced by neighbors are not well understood. This study examined the response of Pseudomonas protegens Pf-5 to metabolites from eight diverse rhizosphere competitor organisms and identified genes that influence Pf-5 fitness during competitive interactions. Genes associated with increased fitness during competition, including cell surface modification and electron transport, as well as genes for which loss of function resulted in fitness gains, were identified. There was considerable overlap in the genes that provided a fitness benefit during competition with all eight test organisms, indicating commonalities in the competitive response to phylogenetically diverse microorganisms.

Tailoring Next Generation Plant Growth Promoting Microorganisms as Versatile Tools beyond Soil Desalinization: A Road Map towards Field Application

Hafsa Cherif-Silini et al.

Summary: Research on plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) has led to the development of versatile multifaceted PGPB, however, they have failed to perform effectively in salty environments. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art research in the field of PGPB and proposes a roadmap for the development of next generation versatile and multifaceted PGPB that can perform in salinity. The development of salinity adapted next generation biofertilizers will allow for mitigation and alleviation of biotic and abiotic threats to plant productivity in salty environments.
