Suppression of by the Induction of Systemic Resistance and Regulation of Antioxidant Pathways in Tomato Using Fengycin Produced by FZB42.

Lipopeptides from species exhibit promising biological control activity against plant pathogens. This study aimed to explore the potential of purified fengycin to induce systemic resistance in tomato against . FZB42, its mutant AK1S, and their corresponding metabolites showed in vitro inhibition of mycelium.

Transcriptional Profiling of Diffusible Lipopeptides and Fungal Virulence Genes During EZ1509-Mediated Suppression of .

is a devastating necrotrophic pathogen that infects multiple crops, and its control is an unremitting challenge. In this work, we attempted to gain insights into the pivotal role of lipopeptides (LPs) in the antifungal activity of EZ1509. In a comparative study involving five strains, EZ1509 harboring four LPs biosynthetic genes (viz.

Volatile Compounds of Endophytic Bacillus spp. have Biocontrol Activity Against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.

To develop an effective biological agent to control Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, three endophytic Bacillus spp. strains with high antagonistic activity were isolated from maize seed and characterized. In vitro assays revealed that the Bacillus endophytes could produce volatile organic compounds (VOC) that reduced sclerotial production and inhibited mycelial growth of S.
