Article Synopsis
- - The endophytic bacterium Serratia plymuthica A30 is an effective biocontrol agent for potato tubers, showing strong resistance against soft rot pathogens like Dickeya solani, especially in cold conditions.
- - A30 triggers early defense mechanisms in potato tubers by enhancing microbial recognition and activating detoxification pathways, while later inhibiting stress-related gene expression to promote a symbiotic relationship.
- - The interaction between A30 and potato tubers suggests benefits such as maintaining dormancy and delaying sprouting, which could improve tuber durability during storage, highlighting its potential in managing soft rot pathogens.
Introduction: was identified as the causative agent of soft rot disease in cacti. Due to a high potential of spread in the face of global warming, the species poses a significant threat to horticultural and crop industry. The aim of this study was to revise the genomic, physiology and virulence characteristics of and update its phylogenetic position within the genus.
