Beneficial Bacillus Strains Improve Plant Resistance to Phytopathogens: A Review
Beneficial Bacillus Strains Improve Plant Resistance to Phytopathogens: A Review
Sergiu Fendrihan, Florica Constantinescu, Oana-Alina Sicuia, Sorina Dinu
Fungal diseases are producing important damages to
cultivated plants. The conventional way to reduce the pathogenic attack
in plants is the use of chemical fungicides. However, high amounts of
syntactical pesticides can contaminate food and feed yields with
chemical residues. An environmental friendly method to exclude pesticide
contamination is the use of biological control products, such as
microbial based products. Beneficial strains of Bacillus are highly
appreciated for biological control, as they are spore forming bacteria,
easy to formulate and preserve. Bacillus strains can produce a wide
range of metabolites that stimulate plant growth and, at the same time,
reduce plant pathogens attack, either by suppressing fungal growth or
inducing plants’ resistance to pathogens. The paper reviews this problem
critically, highlighting some common features of the Bacillus
beneficial strains, using an important amount of new literature
material.
