Induction of systemic resistance by plant growth promoting rhizobacteria in crop plants against pests and diseases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) belonging to Pseudomonas spp. are being exploited commercially for plant protection to induce systemic resistance against various pests and diseases. Mixtures of di!erent PGPR strains have resulted in increased e$cacy by inducing systemic resistance against several pathogens attacking the same crop. Seed-treatment with PGPR causes cell wall structural modi"cations and biochemical/physiological changes leading to the synthesis of proteins and chemicals involved in plant defense mechanisms. Lipopolysaccharides, siderophores and salicylic acid are the major determinants of PGPRmediated ISR. The performance of PGPR has been successful against certain pathogens, insect and nematode pests under "eld conditions. ( 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR): Their potential as antagonists and biocontrol agents
Bacteria that colonize plant roots and promote plant growth are referred to as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). PGPR are highly diverse and in this review we focus on rhizobacteria as biocontrol agents. Their effects can occur via local antagonism to soil-borne pathogens or by induction of systemic resistance against pathogens throughout the entire plant. Several substances produced...
