There has been many recent studies on the use of microbial antagonists to control diseases
incited by soilborne and airborne plant pathogenic bacteria and fungi, in an attempt to …

Actinomycetes are a diverse family of filamentous bacteria that produce a plethora of natural
products relevant for agriculture, biotechnology and medicine, including the majority of the …

Land plants interact with microbes primarily at roots. Despite the importance of root microbial
communities for health and nutrient uptake, the current understanding of the complex plant …

Here we discuss the advantages of the majority of this versatile and diverse group of
microorganisms for plant health and growth as demonstrated by their contribution to disease …

Biotic and abiotic stresses severely affect agriculture by affecting crop productivity, soil
fertility, and health. These stresses may have significant financial repercussions …

As current research activities have focused on symbiotic or parasitic plant–microbe
interactions, other types of associations between plants and microorganisms are often …

Some microorganisms are adapted to an endophytic mode, living symbiotically with plants
through vertical transmission in seeds. The role of plant growth-promoting endophytes has …

Recent molecular studies on endophytic bacterial diversity have revealed a large richness of
species. Endophytes promote plant growth and yield, suppress pathogens, may help to …

Streptomyces bacteria are ubiquitous in soil, conferring the characteristic earthy smell, and
they have an important ecological role in the turnover of organic material. More recently, a …

This is the first report of filamentous actinobacteria isolated from surface-sterilized root
tissues of healthy wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L.). Wheat roots from a range of sites …
