Natural biological suppression of soil-borne diseases is a function of the activity and composition of soil microbial communities. The incidence of soil-borne disease depends on interactions between p
⢠Although suppression of growth and germination of soil-borne pathogens by microbial volatiles (VOCs) has been documented, the role of VOCs in control of soil-borne diseases has not been shown. Bas
The host-associated microbiota plays a crucial role in plant protection. While a huge potential exists for harnessing the microbiomes for sustainable crop protection, little work has been done so far
In this work, we use electrophysiological and metabolomic tools to determine the role of chitosan as plant defense elicitor in soil for preventing or manage root pests and diseases sustainably. Root e
