Species of the genus Bacillus have been widely used for the biocontrol of plant diseases in the demand for sustainable agricultural development. New mechanisms underlying Bacillus biocontrol activity have been revealed with the development of microbiome and microbe-plant interaction research. In this review, we first briefly introduce the typical Bacillus biocontrol mechanisms, such as the production of antimicrobial compounds, competition for niches/nutrients, and induction of systemic resistance. Then, we discussed in detail the new mechanisms of pathogen quorum sensing interference and reshaping of the soil microbiota. The "cry for help" mechanism was also introduced, in which plants can release specific signals under pathogen attack to recruit biocontrol Bacillus for root colonization against invasion. Finally, two emerging strategies for enhancing the biocontrol efficacy of Bacillus agents, including the construction of synthetic microbial consortia and the application of rhizosphere-derived prebiotics, were proposed.

This study investigates a novel antimicrobial peptide AtR905 derived from the endophytic fungus , which was successfully expressed in , purified, and characterized, and highlighted as a promising potential biocontrol agent against various plant pathogens. The results indicated AtR905 exhibited broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities against key pathogens such as and with very low minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs). Stability tests confirmed that AtR905 retains its antimicrobial properties under varying thermal, pH, and UV conditions.

As one of the three major food crops in the world, maize plays a significant role in alleviating the food crisis. Maize stalk rot can reduce maize yield and mechanical harvesting efficiency. In addition, mycotoxins such as Deoxynivalenol (DON) and Zearalenone (ZEN) produced by maize stalk rot pathogens can also harm livestock and human health.

Background: Tomato-spotted wilt virus (TSWV) from the Tospovirus genus affects over 1000 plant species, including key crops, and traditional control methods often prove inadequate. This study investigates the effectiveness of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Bacillus subtilis in reducing TSWV infection, enhancing plant growth, and strengthening defense in Nicotiana benthamiana. The aim is to assess Bacillus as a sustainable biocontrol alternative, offering an eco-friendly solution for managing TSWV disease in agriculture.
