Summary: The strains Bacillus velezensis BZR 336 g and BZR 517 show potential as biocontrol agents against Fusarium rots on wheat. They are capable of deforming and destroying hyphae of the pathogen, possibly through the production of iturin A and surfactin. Field trials demonstrate that these bioagents are effective in reducing disease incidence and increasing crop yield.

Summary: The study isolated a bacterium identified as Bacillus velezensis, which produced an antifungal peptide (BVAP) with inhibitory effects against Fusarium solani, the pathogen causing basal stem rot in passion fruit. BVAP showed superior antifungal activity compared to chemical fungicides, potentially by increasing mycelial membrane permeability and inducing abnormal cellular accumulation to achieve biocontrol against the pathogen.

Summary: Bacillus velezensis YC89 isolated from sugarcane leaves showed significant inhibition against red rot disease. Genome sequencing and comparative analysis revealed differences between YC89 and other strains, and identified gene/gene clusters involved in plant growth promotion, antibiotic resistance, and resistance inducer synthesis. Pot experiments confirmed the control of red rot and promotion of sugarcane growth by YC89, along with increased activity of defense-related enzymes.

Summary: Fusarium graminearum sensu stricto is the main causal agent of Fusarium head blight in small cereal crops worldwide. Control strategies include the use of less susceptible cultivars, cultural practices, crop rotation, and fungicide application. Evaluating eco-friendly strategies such as microorganisms and natural products can also be effective. The combination of Bacillus velezensis RC218 and chitosan showed promising results in reducing the severity of FHB and deoxynivalenol accumulation in wheat.

Summary: The novel strain of Bacillus NKMV-3 isolated from rhizosphere is an effective biocontrol agent against Alternaria solani, the pathogen causing early blight disease in tomato. The strain contains antibiotic synthesis genes and lipopeptides, confirmed through gene amplification and liquid chromatography. Formulations based on this strain may offer an effective solution for controlling early blight disease in tomato and other crops.

Summary: Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a global wheat grain disease caused by Fusarium graminearum. Biological control of FHB is considered an environmentally friendly and durable alternative disease management strategy. In this study, 45 strains of bacteria were isolated from different tissues of wheat to screen for potential antagonistic bacteria against FHB. One strain, XY-1, showed high antagonistic effects against F. graminearum and demonstrated strong antifungal activity. The study provides a theoretical foundation for the application of the XY-1 strain as a biological agent in the field to control FHB.

Summary: Streptomycetes are potential candidates for the biological control of Fusarium Head Blight in wheat. Previous studies mainly focused on the application of streptomycetes when the wheat plant is mature and close to flowering. This study tested the effects of seed treatment with Streptomyces sp. DEF39 spores before sowing on the development of FHB symptoms and found that it could partially protect wheat from FHB disease.

Summary: The study found that surfactin has antifungal activity against Fusarium graminearum, the main pathogen of Fusarium head blight in wheat. It inhibits the growth of the fungus by inducing apoptosis-like cell death in the hyphae. This research provides evidence for the potential use of surfactin as a biocontrol agent for FHB and contributes to our understanding of its antifungal mechanism against filamentous fungi.
