Analysis reveals plant growth-promoting and biocontrol potential of Streptomyces in milpa systems, indicating biodiversity's role.

Streptomyces strains isolated from the milpa exhibited various beneficial activities, improving maize biomass.
Functional genomic analyses revealed a unique set of genes supporting plant growth promotion and stress tolerance.
Isolated strains demonstrated antagonistic activities against phytopathogenic fungi, highlighting their biocontrol capabilities.
This study emphasizes the value of traditional agroecosystems for discovering beneficial microorganisms to enhance agriculture.

Vazquez-Hernandez et al. (2025) studied this question.
