Endophytes for Biological Control of Bacterial Diseases in Horticultural Crops: Mechanisms, Translational Constraints and the Case of Pomegranate Blight

Bacterial diseases of horticultural crops are difficult to manage because pathogens can multiply rapidly on or within susceptible tissues, exploit wounds and natural openings, persist in propagation material, and respond inconsistently to bactericides under field conditions. Endophytic bacteria offer a biologically dis...
