Isolation of Endophytic Bacteria from Withania Somnifera and Assessment of their Ability to Suppress Fusarium Wilt Disease in Tomato and to Promote Plant Growth
2016-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Four nonpathogenic and putative endophytic bacterial isolates, recovered from Withania somnifera fruits (S7, S8 and S9) and stems (S15), were evaluated for their in vivo and in vitro antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (FOL), and their plant-growth promoting ability. Tomato plants challenged and/or not with FOL and treated using these bacterial isolates exhibited a significant increme...
