Endophytic Bacteria: Perspectives and Applications in Agricultural Crop Production

Impact of grassland management regimes on bacterial endophyte diversity differs with grass species

“…Endophytic bacteria have been found in a wide range of plants (Senthilkumar et al . ). They have been reported to promote plant growth and health by a number of mechanisms including an enhanced nutrient availability and the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen (Stoltzfus et al .…”

“…; Bacon and Hinton ; Senthilkumar et al . ), the interactions between management regimes, grass species and bacterial endophyte communities are not fully understood. Previous studies on the impact of different management regimes, such as fertilizer application, have mainly focused on root endophytic bacteria (Hallmann et al .…”

Management of Meloidogyne incognita on tomato with endophytic bacteria and fresh residue of Wasabia japonica

“…Biodiversity and potential biological functions of endophytic bacteria from a variety of plants have been investigated (Senthilkumar et al . ), and the biocontrol potential of endophytic bacteria to plant parasitic nematodes have been reported (Hallmann et al . ; Munif et al .…”

“…As they live within plants, endophytic bacteria provide several advantages as biological control agents over other methods, including occupying the ecological niche also used by plant pathogens, facing less competition from other micro-organisms, obtaining sufficient supply of nutrients from host plants, less exposure to environmental stress factors and better translocation of bacterial metabolites throughout the host plant (Hallmann et al 1997). Biodiversity and potential biological functions of endophytic bacteria from a variety of plants have been investigated (Senthilkumar et al 2011), and the biocontrol potential of endophytic bacteria to plant parasitic nematodes have been reported (Hallmann et al 1997;Munif et al 2000Munif et al , 2013Vetrivelkalai et al 2010). However, there is currently little information on endophytic bacteria from the mustard plant wasabi (Wasabia japonica), especially on their nematicidal activities and their biocontrol potentials.…”

Seleção de estirpes de Bacillus thuringiensis tóxicas à Helicoverpa armigera e promotoras de crescimento vegetal

“…Bactérias capazes de promover o crescimento vegetal em culturas de importância econômica estão começando a ter uma relevância mais ampla nos sistemas de produção agrícola (SENTHILKUMAR et al, 2011).…”
