Microbial antibiotics take the lead in the fight against plant pathogens. [PDF]
The potential of plant microbiome for the development of novel biopesticides for the integrated pest management of agricultural crops. Abstract The plant microbiome is essential for plant fitness and health. Antibiotics produced by plant‐associated bacteria have been shown to play an important role in protecting plant hosts against phytopathogens. Here,

Efficiency of inorganic fungicides against the formation of Erysiphe necator chasmothecia in vineyards. [PDF]
Densities of chasmothecia from grape powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator) were significantly reduced by inorganic fungicides in commercial vineyards. Late applications of potassium bicarbonate were especially efficient. Abstract BACKGROUND A reduction in chasmothecia, an important inoculum of grape powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator Schwein.), is essential ...

Study of the different evaluation areas in the pesticide risk assessment process: Focus on pesticides based on microorganisms. [PDF]
Abstract Both chemical and microbial active substances can currently be approved as pesticides in the EU, the provisions of their approval being set under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. Although sharing the same legal framework, chemicals and microorganisms used as pesticides have different risk profiles especially because once released into the ...

Biological control of plant diseases – What has been achieved and what is the direction?
Biological control is coming of age and many products are commercially available. This review emphasizes the biology of the three‐way interactions involved and the long route to commercialization. Abstract The global sustainability agenda is increasing the demand for reduction in inputs into agricultural production while maintaining profitable yield of

Comparative genomics reveals a core gene toolbox for lifestyle transitions in Hypocreales fungi
Summary Fungi have evolved diverse lifestyles and adopted pivotal new roles in both natural ecosystems and human environments. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their adaptation to new lifestyles are obscure. Here, we hypothesize that genes shared across all species with the same lifestyle, but absent in genera with alternative lifestyles ...
