Lipopeptides from Bacillus species exhibit promising biological control activity against plant pathogens. This study aimed to explore the potential of purified fengycin induce systemic resistance in tomato Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. amyloliquefaciens FZB42, its mutant AK1S, and their corresponding metabolites showed vitro inhibition S. sclerotiorum mycelium. Fengycin derived an AK1S was identified through HPLC MALDI-TOF-MS, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) transmission (TEM)...
Bacillus genus exhibits antagonistic potential against a broad range of pathogenic fungi. This study presents the antifungal lipopeptides (LPs) produced by novel strain altitudinis TM22A to suppress infection Alternaria rot on tomato. We investigated effect ten species alternata, where four strains TM22A, MCM61, S2, and CPCF54 exhibited activity. The LPs extracted from restricted mycelial growth conidial germination A. alternata in vitro with highest inhibition TM22A. Liquid chromatography...
Ornamental crops particularly cut flowers are considered sensitive to heavy metals (HMs) induced oxidative stress condition. Melatonin (MLT) is a versatile phytohormone with the ability mitigate abiotic stresses in plants. Similarly, signaling molecules such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) have emerged potential options for resolving HMs related problems The mechanisms underlying combined application of MLT and H2S not yet explored. Therefore, we evaluated individual applications (100 μM) form...
Bacillus species synthesize antifungal lipopeptides (LPs) making them a sustainable and eco-friendly management option to combat Fusarium wilt of chickpea.In this study, 18 endophytic strains were assessed for their activity against oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (FOC) associated with chickpea. Among them, 13 produced significant inhibition zones in direct assay while five failed produce the FOC. thuringiensis CHGP12 exhibited highest 3.45 cm The LPs extracted from showed pathogen. Liquid...
The use of synthetic fungicides against postharvest Alternaria rot adversely affects human health and the environment. In this study, as a safe alternative to fungicides, Bacillus subtilis strain Y17B isolated from soil exhibited significant antifungal activity alternata. was identified B. based on phenotypic identification 16S rRNA sequence analysis. To reveal antimicrobial strain, PCR-based study detected presence lipopeptide (LP) biosynthetic genes genomic DNA. UPLC Q TOF mass...
Cadmium (Cd) stress in crops has been serious concern while little is known about the copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) effects on Cd accumulation by crops. This study investigated effectiveness of CuO NPs mitigating contamination wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivation through a pot experiment, presenting an eco-friendly solution to critical agricultural concern. The NPs, synthesized using green methods, exhibited circular shape with crystalline structure and particle size ranging from...
Abstract The ability of salicylic acid and jasmonic to suppress post-harvest infection with green mould Penicillium digitatum blue P. italicum on three citrus species Citrus reticulata ‘Kinnow’, C. limon ‘Meyer Lemon’, limetta ‘Mosambi’ was evaluated in a dose-response study. Salicylic (SA) (JA) were applied the fruits as dip treatment followed by wound inoculation pathogens. Both resistance inducers caused significantly lower disease severity compared infected but non-treated control,...
The potential of endophytic Bacillus strains to improve plant growth and yield was evaluated.Endophytic altitudinis HNH7 velezensis HNH9 were evaluated for their growth-promoting traits. In an in vitro plate assay, exhibited proteolytic, amylolytic, lipolytic cellulolytic activity. able solubilize iron by producing siderophores but unable insoluble phosphate. PCR confirmed the presence four genes viz. pvd, budA, asbA satA genome HNH7, while also possessed same except budA. a greenhouse...
Abstract Background Bacillus species produce antimicrobial lipopeptides (LPs) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) induces resistance in harvested fruits against postharvest pathogens. However, there is limited evidence of the combined efficacy LPs MeJA to suppress diseases. Results This study presents effect P. digitatum italicum associated with green blue mold lemon. Eight strains were screened a direct antagonism plate assay, where subtilis LLCG89 B. atrophaeus HFZ23 exhibited highest inhibition...
