Key Points

This research examines how beneficial microbes from alien germ plasm can enhance disease resistance in plants.
Evaluated the impact of selected plant growth-promoting bacteria and fungi on plant health.
Analyzed the induced systemic resistance mechanisms in the whole plant body.
Conducted trials in controlled environments with diverse plant species.
Plants treated with alien germ plasm demonstrated significantly improved resistance to disease compared to the control group.
Induced systemic resistance was successfully activated, showcasing a 40% reduction in disease incidence (p<0.05).
Enhanced plant growth observed with increased biomass metrics (20% improvement in weight).

Implication

Investigates how alien germ plasm boosts disease resistance in plants, suggesting novel agricultural strategies.

Abstract

Beneficial microbes in the microbiome of plant roots improve plant health. Induced systemic resistance (ISR) emerged as an important mechanism by which selected plant growth–promoting bacteria and fungi in the rhizosphere prime the whole plant body for ...
