Biological control is an effective and sustainable alternative or complement to conventional
pesticides for fungal and bacterial plant disease management. Some of the most intensively …

Major losses of crop yield and quality caused by soil-borne plant diseases have long
threatened the ecology and economy of agriculture and forestry. Biological control using …

Rhizosphere microbes play critical roles for plant's growth and health. Among them, the
beneficial rhizobacteria have the potential to be developed as the biofertilizer or …

Several microbes promote plant growth, and many microbial products that stimulate plant
growth have been marketed. In this review we restrict ourselves to bacteria that are derived …

By ecologically interacting with various biotic and abiotic agents acting in soil ecosystems,
highly diverse soil microorganisms establish complex and stable assemblages and survive …

Antifungal activities of plant-beneficial Bacillus have been widely studied in recent years.
Numerous studies have studied the antifungal mechanisms of soluble non-volatile bioactive …

The interaction between plants and plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is a
complex, reciprocal process. On the one hand, plant compounds such as carbohydrates and …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) actively colonize the soil portion under the
influence of plant roots, called the rhizosphere. Many plant-beneficial Pseudomonas spp …

Over the years, many bacterial isolates have been evaluated as potential biocontrol agents
against soilborne fungal phytopathogens. However, few of them were ultimately successful …

Rhizobacteria produce an enormous amount of volatile compounds, however, the function of
these metabolites is scarcely understood. Investigations evaluating influences on plants …
