Strains of Pseudomonas that produce antimicrobial metabolites and control soilborne plant
diseases have often been isolated from soils defined as disease-suppressive, ie, soils, in …

Conservation tillage and organic farming are strategies used worldwide to preserve the
stability and fertility of soils. While positive effects on soil structure have been extensively …

Plant growth promoting pseudomonads play an important role in disease suppression and
there is considerable interest in development of bio-marker genes that can be used to …

There is a significant potential to improve the plant-beneficial effects of root-colonizing
pseudomonads by breeding wheat genotypes with a greater capacity to sustain interactions …

Pseudomonas spp. are ubiquitous bacteria in agricultural soils and have many traits that
make them well suited as biocontrol agents of soilborne pathogens. Tremendous progress …

Soil-borne phytopathogens cause extensive damage to cultivated plants worldwide,
resulting in yield loss worth billions of Euros each year. Soil fumigation is the most effective …

Plant health and fitness widely depend on interactions with soil microorganisms. Some
bacteria such as pseudomonads can inhibit pathogens by producing antibiotics, and …

Diverse Pseudomonas spp. may act as biological controls of plant pathogens, but the
ecology of those natural populations is not well understood. And, while biocontrol potential …

The genus Pseudomonas is one of the best-studied bacterial groups in soil, and includes
numerous species of environmental interest. Pseudomonas species play key roles in soil, for …

Beneficial rhizosphere-dwelling Pseudomonas spp. play an essential role in supplying crop
