The Significance of Bacillus spp. in Disease Suppression and Growth Promotion of Field and Vegetable Crops
Abstract
Bacillusspp. produce a variety of compounds involved in the biocontrol of plant pathogens and promotion of plant growth, which makes them potential candidates for most agricultural and biotechnological applications. Bacilli exhibit antagonistic activity by excreting extracellular metabolites such as antibiotics, cell wall hydrolases, and siderophores. Additionally,Bacillusspp. improve plant response to pathogen attack by triggering induced systemic resistance (ISR). Besides being the most promising biocontrol agents,Bacillusspp. promote plant growth via nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and phytohormone production. Antagonistic and plant growth-promoting strains ofBacillusspp. might be useful in formulating new preparations. Numerous studies of a wide range of plant species revealed a steady increase in the number ofBacillusspp. identified as potential biocontrol agents and plant growth promoters. Among different mechanisms of action, it remains unclear which individual or c...ombined traits could be used as predictors in the selection of the best strains for crop productivity improvement. Due to numerous factors that influence the successful application ofBacillusspp., it is necessary to understand how different strains function in biological control and plant growth promotion, and distinctly define the factors that contribute to their more efficient use in the field.
