Turning antagonists into allies: Bacterial-fungal interactions enhance the efficacy of controlling wilt disease.

Intense microbial competition in soil has driven the evolution of resistance mechanisms, yet the implications of such evolution on plant health remain unclear. Our study explored the conversion from antagonism to coexistence between () and () and its effects on wilt disease (FWD) control. We found a bacilysin transmembrane transporter (MFS4) in , critical during cross-kingdom dialogue with v.
