Nearly all plants and their organs are inhabited by endophytic microbes which play a crucial role in plant fitness stress resilience. Harnessing services can provide effective solutions for sustainable increase agriculture productivity be used as complement or alternative to agrochemicals. Shifting practices toward the use of nature-based contribute directly global challenges food security environmental sustainability. However, microbial inoculants have been several decades with inconsistent efficacy. Key reasons this efficacy linked competition indigenous soil microflora inability colonize plants. Endophytic both these issues potentially make them better candidates inoculants. This article outlines current advancements research special focus on bacilli. A understanding diverse mechanisms disease control bacilli is essential achieve maximum biocontrol against multiple phytopathogens. Furthermore, we argue that integration emerging technologies strong theoretical frameworks potential revolutionize approaches based microbes.

The use of beneficial microorganisms for the biological control plant diseases and pests has emerged as a viable alternative to chemical pesticides in agriculture. Traditionally, microbe-based biocontrol strategies crop protection relied on application single microorganisms. However, design microbial consortia improving reliability current practices is now major trend biotechnology, it already being exploited commercially context sustainable In present study, exploiting library company Koppert Biological Systems, we designed composed carefully selected, well-characterized bacteria fungi displaying diverse modes action. We compared their ability shoot root pathogens when applied separately or combination consortia, across different that imply direct antagonism induced systemic resistance. hypothesized will be more versatile than strains, an extended functionality, they able wider range through mechanisms methods. Our results confirmed our hypothesis, revealing while individual were most effective controlling pathogen Fusarium oxysporum foliar Botrytis cinerea tomato, showed effectively both under any schemes, always reaching same levels best performing strains. findings illustrate potential selected compatible microorganisms, including fungi, development stable products against diseases.

Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are soil bacteria colonizing the rhizosphere and rhizoplane which have an effect on plant growth through multiple chemical compounds. Rhizobacteria with beneficial effects for plants could therefore be used to reduce dependence synthetic fertilizers in conventional agriculture. Within this study, 67 endophytic fungi 49 were isolated from root samples 3 different commercial productions: off-ground tomato production a greenhouse, organic production, both tunnel. Following morphological selection, 12 fungal 33 bacterial isolates genetically identified. Thirteen belonging nine potential PGPR species then applied seedlings established sterile substrate. The ability of these produce indole acetic acid (IAA) solubilize phosphate was also evaluated.

Plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) different functional attributes were identified a bottom-up approach. comprehensive literature survey on PGPMs associated maize, wheat, potato tomato, commercial formulations, was conducted examining peer-reviewed scientific publications results from relevant European projects. Metagenome fragment recruitments genomes represented databases also performed help identify (PGP) strains. Following ability coexist, isolated synthetically assembled into three consortia. Additionally, effects growth individually tested starvation conditions.
