Soil bacteria such as pseudomonads may reduce pathogen pressure for plants, both by
activating plant defence mechanisms and by inhibiting pathogens directly due to the …

The fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici causes foot and root rot of tomato
plants, which can be controlled by the bacteria Pseudomonas fluorescens WCS365 and P …

Traits contributing to the competence of biocontrol bacteria to colonize plant roots are often
induced in the rhizosphere in response to plant components. These interactions have been …

Fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. have been studied for decades for their plant growth-
promoting effects through effective suppression of soilborne plant diseases. The modes of …

The gfp-tagged Pseudomonas fluorescens biocontrol strain DR54-BN14 was introduced into
the barley rhizosphere. Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed that the rhizoplane …

A spontaneous rifampicin-resistant mutant of the biocontrol agent Pseudomonas fluorescens
CHA0 was released as soil inoculant in large outdoor lysimeters and its ability to colonise …

An important link between the environment and the physiological state of bacteria is the
regulation of the transcription of a large number of genes by global transcription factors. One …

An emerging experimental framework suggests that plants under biotic stress may actively
seek help from soil microbes, but empirical evidence underlying such a 'cry for help'strategy …

The aim of this study was to determine whether the form of N-fertilization (NO3−, urea,
mixture of NO3−, and NH4+ [1: 1]) and enrichment of the soil with clay could affect the …

A main goal of biological nitrogen fixation research has been to expand the nitrogen‐fixing
ability to major cereal crops. In this work, we demonstrate the use of the efficient nitrogen …
