Unraveling the roles of PGPR and endophytic bacteria as antagonists against fungal pathogens and mechanisms of disease resistance in crop plants
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and bacterial endophytes improve crop performance through nutrient acquisition, phytohormone modulation, stress alleviation and biological control. Their antagonistic effects against fungal pathogens arise from several complementary mechanisms, including competition for nutri...
