Bacillus thuringiensis and its pest control potential as endophyte

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6931-6939, July 2026.
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) systemically colonizes tomato plants as endophyte, inducing midgut damage, fitness reduction and immune suppression in Spodoptera littoralis larvae feeding on Bt‐colonized leaves. The immune suppression enhances the susceptibility to Bt treatments, allowing a synergistic dual use of Bt commercial formulations, by combined ...

Survival of a potential bacterial biocontrol agent in the soil and its impact on microbial communities

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6984-6998, July 2026.
In soil microcosms, the candidate Bacillus persisted ≥6 months and caused modest community shifts whose transience and magnitude were soil dependent. Abstract BACKGROUND Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a major crop pathogen commonly managed using fungicides.

Fungal disease management in cotton using plant protection products: An Australian perspective

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6010-6023, July 2026.
Cotton disease management requires evidence‐driven use of plant protection products. Progress hinges on integrating chemistry, diagnostics, stewardship and sustainability to build resilient production systems. Abstract Cotton production faces persistent challenges from pathogens that compromise plant establishment, yield, and fibre quality.

Molecular ecology of aspergillus section flavi species : approaches to understand the role of aflatoxin genes in aflatoxin biosynthesis [PDF]

, 2011
This is the first study to integrate and correlate the effect of ecophysiological factors on the life cycle of Aspergillus flavus by carrying out complementary work on gene expression of the aflatoxin gene cluster, with growth, sporulation and ...

RNA interference in crop protection: opportunities and challenges during the transition to commercialization

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 5971-5986, July 2026.
RNA interference (RNAi) technologies, host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) and spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS), potentially offer sustainable crop protection. However, efficacy, costs, regulatory clarity, and socio‐environmental impacts require further evaluation for broader use.

Pirated Siderophores Promote Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis

, 2017
In microbial communities, bacteria chemically and physically interact with one another. Some of these interactions are mediated by secreted specialized metabolites that act as either intraspecies or interspecies signals to alter gene expression and to ...

Ultrasensitivity of the Bacillus subtilis sporulation decision

, 2012
Starving Bacillus subtilis cells execute a gene expression program resulting in the formation of stress-resistant spores. Sporulation master regulator, Spo0A, is activated by a phosphorelay and controls the expression of a multitude of genes, including ...

Seed‐Associated Trichoderma and Their Potential as Biocontrol Agents Against Plant Diseases

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Trichoderma is a genus of beneficial fungi widely used in agriculture. Over 2 years of routine seed health analyses, we investigated the diversity of seed‐borne Trichoderma strains associated with seeds from 32 cultivated plant species. We assessed their mycoparasitic activity and their potential for disease suppression and plant growth promotion ...

Effects of applying Trichoderma asperellum to rice (Oryza sativa) on phytobiome and plant responses

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
We investigated the effect of dipping at transplanting or post‐transplanting spray application on the root‐associated microbiome or leaf epiphytes via amplicon sequencing, and on plant responses via RNA‐seq. Both root dipping and foliar application with Trichoderma asperellum spore suspension only had a limited impact on the leaf epiphytes and root ...
