Article Synopsis
  • Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, affects important crops, and current management strategies are limited.
  • A study isolated Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain Cas02 from healthy tobacco plants, showing significant plant growth promotion and the ability to suppress the bacterial wilt pathogen.
  • Cas02 produced key growth-promoting substances and was effective in both greenhouse and field tests, with its antimicrobial properties linked to identified compounds and genetic mechanisms, highlighting its potential as a biocontrol agent.

Bacterial communities in the rhizosphere play an important role in sustaining plant growth and the health of diverse soils. Recent studies have demonstrated that microbial keystone taxa in the rhizosphere microbial community are extremely critical for the suppression of diseases. However, the mechanisms involved in disease suppression by keystone species remain unclear.

The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in atmosphere is not only a major cause of global warming, but it also adversely affects the ecological diversity of invertebrates. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of elevated CO concentration (ambient, 400 ppm and high, 800 ppm) and (-infected, W and -uninfected, W) on . The total survival rate, developmental duration, carapace width and length, body weight, sex ratio, net reproductive rate, nutrition content, and enzyme activity in were examined under four treatments: W 400 ppm, W 800 ppm, W 400 ppm, and W 800 ppm.
