Novel applications of the tomato microbiome: Roles and considerations for agriculture, human health, and society

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

Bacillus velezensis 83 protects Arabidopsis thaliana against Botrytis cinerea by triggering JA‐, and SA‐dependent induced systemic resistance

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
B. velezensis 83 protects the plant against B. cinerea, accumulating acetoin and activating jasmonic acid‐ and salicylic acid‐mediated defense responses. Abstract BACKGROUND Modern agriculture is based on the application of synthetic agrochemicals to control multiple abiotic and biotic stresses.
