The Role of Cytokinins and Abscisic Acid in the Growth, Development and Virulence of the Pathogenic Fungus (Berk.).

Cytokinins (CKs) and abscisic acid (ABA) play an important role in the life of both plants and pathogenic fungi. However, the role of CKs and ABA in the regulation of fungal growth, development and virulence has not been sufficiently studied. We compared the ability of two virulent isolates (SnB and Sn9MN-3A) and one avirulent isolate (Sn4VD) of the pathogenic fungus Berk.

Plant-Associated and : Inside Agents for Biocontrol and Genetic Recombination in Phytomicrobiome.

Berliner () and sensu stricto Frankland and Frankland are closely related species of aerobic, spore-forming bacteria included in the sensu lato group. This group is one of the most studied, but it remains also the most mysterious species of bacteria. Despite more than a century of research on the features of these ubiquitous bacteria, there are a lot of questionable issues related to their taxonomy, resistance to external influences, endophytic existence, their place in multidimensional relationships in the ecosystem, and many others.

Stimulation of the Defense Mechanisms of Potatoes to a Late Blight Causative Agent When Treated with Bacteria and Chitosan Composites with Hydroxycinnamic Acids.

is, worldwide, one of the main causal agents of epiphytotics in potato plantings. Prevention strategies demand integrated pest management, including modeling of beneficial microbiomes of agroecosystems combining microorganisms and natural products. Chitooligosaccharides and their derivatives have great potential to be used by agrotechnology due to their ability to elicit plant immune reactions.

Additive Effect of the Composition of Endophytic Bacteria on Systemic Resistance of Wheat against Greenbug Aphid Due to Lipopeptides.

The use of biocontrol agents based on endophytic bacteria against phloem-feeding insects is limited by a lack of knowledge and understanding of the mechanism of action of the endophyte community that makes up the plant microbiome. In this work, the mechanisms of the additive action of endophytic strains 26D and 11VM on the resistance of bread spring wheat against greenbug aphid was studied. It was shown that 26D secreted lipopeptide surfactin and phytohormones cytokinins, and 11VM produced iturin and auxins into the cultivation medium.

By Modulating the Hormonal Balance and Ribonuclease Activity of Tomato Plants Induces Defense Response against Potato Virus X and Potato Virus Y.

Endophytic plant-growth-promoting microorganisms can protect plants against pathogens, but they have rarely been investigated as potential biocontrol agents and triggers of induced systemic resistance (ISR), regulated by phytohormones, against viruses. We studied the role of endophytic strains 26D and Ttl2, which secrete ribonucleases and phytohormones, in the induction of tomato plant resistance against potato virus X and potato virus Y in a greenhouse condition. The endophytes reduced the accumulation of viruses in plants, increased the activity of plant ribonucleases and recovered the fruit yield of infected tomato plants.

Endophytic Strain 26D Increases Levels of Phytohormones and Repairs Growth of Potato Plants after Colorado Potato Beetle Damage.

Plant damage caused by defoliating insects has a long-term negative effect on plant growth and productivity. Consequently, the restoration of plant growth after exposure to pathogens or pests is the main indicator of the effectiveness of the implemented defense reactions. A short-term Say attack on potato tube-grown plantlets ( L.

Current Developments and Challenges in Plant Viral Diagnostics: A Systematic Review.

Plant viral diseases are the foremost threat to sustainable agriculture, leading to several billion dollars in losses every year. Many viruses infecting several crops have been described in the literature; however, new infectious viruses are emerging frequently through outbreaks. For the effective treatment and prevention of viral diseases, there is great demand for new techniques that can provide accurate identification on the causative agents.

Endophytic spp. as a Prospective Biological Tool for Control of Viral Diseases and Non-vector Say. in L.

Viral diseases and their damage causing significant loss to economically important crops have increased by several folds during the last decade. All the conventional approaches are not able to eradicate the viral infection. Therefore, there is a need to look for efficient and eco-friendly viral disease-preventive measures.

Endophytic Strain 26DCryChS Producing Cry1Ia Toxin from Promotes Multifaceted Potato Defense against (Mont.) de Bary and Pest Say.

Novel properties of a previously obtained 26DCryChS strain are described. The 26DCryChS strain is able to produce Cry1Ia δ-endotoxin from B-5351 and to exist in internal plant tissues of potato plants in the same manner as the endophytic 26D source strain (487 ± 53 and 420 ± 63 CFU*10/g, respectively). 26DCryChS, as much as the original 26D strain, inhibited mycelium growth of oomycete (Mont.

Mechanisms of Plant Tolerance to RNA Viruses Induced by Plant-Growth-Promoting Microorganisms.

Plant viruses are globally responsible for the significant crop losses of economically important plants. All common approaches are not able to eradicate viral infection. Many non-conventional strategies are currently used to control viral infection, but unfortunately, they are not always effective.

The influence of potato endophytes on Leptinotarsa decemlineata endosymbionts promotes mortality of the pest.

Plants are exposed to pervasive attack by diverse attackers, such as pathogens and pests. But plants have their own endophytic microflora as well as the attacking insects. These microbiomes contact face to face in the nature.
