چکیده

This study was conducted to assess the biocontrol efficacy of Bacillus subtilis (strain 4812) and Bacillus methylotrophicus (strain H8) individually or in combination with two plant defense inducers including Acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) and DL-Beta-aminobutyric acid (BABA) against tomato wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum. The pathogen was significantly inhibited by all treatments in the greenhouse and in vitro tests. The treatments H8+ASA and 4812+H8 were found to be the most effective treatments in in vitro tests. Applied on tomato seeds and as soil drenching, the disease was most inhibited by H8 whereas 4812+H8+ASA was the least effective treatment. High activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase was observed in the plants treated with 4812+H8, H8+ASA and 4812+H8+ASA. The highest expression of peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase enzymes was found in the plants treated with H8, 4812+H8 and H8+ASA. The result of real time PCR showed that concentration of the pathogen in stem tissues was significantly reduced in all treated plants and H8+ASA was the most effective treatment. This study revealed that combined application of Bacillus strains can be considered as a more effective biocontrol agent against tomato bacterial wilt. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of plant defense inducers was variable to different Bacillus strains.

Biocontrol of tomato wilt disease by Bacillus subtilis isolates from natural environments depends on conserved genes mediating biofilm formation.

Bacillus subtilis and other Bacilli have long been used as biological control agents against plant bacterial diseases but the mechanisms by which the bacteria confer protection are not well understood. Our goal in this study was to isolate strains of B. subtilis that exhibit high levels of biocontrol efficacy from natural environments and to investigate the mechanisms by which these strains con...

Bacillus thuringiensis - Mediated Priming Induces Jasmonate/Ethylene and Salicylic Acid-Dependent Defense Pathways Genes in Tomato Plants

Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner as a biological control agent can play a crucial role in the integrated management of a wide range of plant pests and diseases. B. thuringiensis is expected to elicit plant defensive response through plant recognition of microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs), however, there is little information on the molecular base of induced systemic ...

Response of tomato wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum to the volatile organic compounds produced by a biocontrol strain Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SQR-9

It is important to study the response of plant pathogens to the antibiosis traits of biocontrol microbes to design the efficient biocontrol strategies. In this study, we evaluated the role of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by a biocontrol strain Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SQR-9 on the growth and virulence traits of tomato wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum (RS). The VOCs of SQR-9 ...
