Background: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L) is affected by various diseases among which Orthotospovirus arachinecrosis cause huge economical loss to the farmers. Management of viral diseases using systemic insecticides will target the beneficial microflora and fauna besides polluting the environment and cause health hazards. In this context, inducing systemic resistance (ISR) through Bacillus spp.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on isolating and characterizing specific species (spp.) to test their effectiveness against GBNV (Groundnut Bud-Nicotiana Virus) in tomato plants.
  • Among the three inoculation methods (pre-, post-, and simultaneous), pre-inoculation with liquid consortia showed the lowest disease severity index (DSI) and significantly reduced the GBNV infection rates in both pot culture and field trials.
  • The interaction analysis indicated that these species can enhance the tomato plant's resistance through the upregulation of defense genes, suggesting they are effective for managing GBNV in tomatoes.

Compatibility interactions between the host and the fungal proteins are necessary to successfully establish a disease in plants by fungi or other diseases. Photochemical and antimicrobial substances are generally known to increase plant resilience, which is essential for eradicating fungus infections. Through homology modeling and in silico docking analysis, we assessed 50 phytochemicals from cucumber (), 15 antimicrobial compounds from botanical sources, and six compounds from chemical sources against two proteins of linked to cucumber downy mildew.
