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.

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.

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.
