Uncoupling virulence and biocontrol [PDF]

open access: possibleNature Microbiology, 2019
The secondary metabolite cepacin A is the essential compound made by Burkholderia ambifaria needed for biocontrol of plant pathogens. In this organism, genes responsible for virulence and for cepacin A biosynthesis reside on different replicons, allowing for the engineering of avirulent mutants that retain their biocontrol properties.

Biocontrol of Ticks

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2000
Abstract:The increasing resistance of arthropodes to pesticides, their high price, and the growing public demand for safer food and a cleaner environment are obliging animal growers to minimize the use of pesticides by introducing alternative means for tick control.

Phage for Biocontrol

2016
Bacteriophage (phage) therapy, or the therapeutic use of phage for the treatment of bacterial diseases, is a classical approach that was originally disregarded due to inconsistent results and with the advent of antibiotic drugs. However, with a greater understanding of phage biology and the pressing need for new and innovative antimicrobial strategies ...

Biocontrol Research in India

2021
Management of agricultural production systems on a sustainable basis is one of the basic challenges confronting the eventual fate of mankind as the total population is rising extraordinarily. Protection against pests and diseases in crops has an apparent role to play to meet the rising demand for food quality and quantity. The yield losses incurred due

Biocontrol Agents Against Diseases

2020
Biological control against plant diseases has been extensively studied in recent decades, leading to the identification and development of a significant number of biocontrol agents with various modes of action. Considerable scientific and industrial investments are needed for the development and the commercialization of these protection tools.

Mycoparasitism and Biocontrol

1996
Exploitation of mycoparasites as biocontrol agents in agriculture is well-documented. A number of them have shown potential to control Rhizoctonia solani in a diversity of crops or sites, alone or integrated with chemical or mechanical techniques. In respect to the pathogen’s behaviour on the plant surface, the biocontrol effect ranges from niche ...

Fusarium oxysporum and its biocontrol

New Phytologist, 2003
Summary Fusarium oxysporum is well represented among the rhizosphere microflora. While all strains exist saprophytically, some are well‐known for inducing wilt or root rots on plants whereas others are considered as nonpathogenic. Several methods based on phenotypic and genetic traits have been developed to characterize F. oxysporum strains.

A new life for BioControl

BioControl, 2008
BioControl, over the years, has established a leading role in publishing the finest and most exciting work in all aspects of biological control of invertebrate, vertebrate and weed pests, and plant diseases. Coverage includes the biology and ecology of organisms for biological control, and aspects of their use for integrated pest management (IPM), such

Biocontrol of phytobacteria with bacteriophage cocktails

Pest Management Science, 2019
AbstractCrop loss due to plant pathogens has provoked renewed interest in bacteriophages as a feasible biocontrol strategy of plant diseases. Phage cocktails in particular present a viable option for broadening the phage host range, limiting the emergence of bacterial resistance while maintaining the lytic activity of the phages.
