Article Synopsis
- Traditional chemical controls for plant diseases harm the environment and conflict with sustainable development goals.
- This study conducted a meta-analysis of the biocontrol potential of Bacillus bacteria, finding they reduce disease by 60% compared to control groups, with greater efficacy linked to higher concentrations and protective inoculation methods.
- The research indicates that newly tested Bacillus strains are more effective than commercial products, offering important insights for sustainable plant disease management for researchers and policymakers.
With global climate changes and the increased demand for food due to expected world population growth, genetic improvement programs have aimed at producing crops with increased yield and tolerance to environmental stresses, such as drought, salinity, and pathogens. On the other hand, genetic improvement programs biotechnology require candidate genes that confer traits of interest to be incorporated into improved crops. In this regard, genes encoding transcription factors (TFs) can be promising since they are proteins that transcriptionally regulate the expression of target genes related to the most diverse roles in the plant, including defense against stresses.
