Preliminary phenotypic and molecular screening for potential bacterial biocontrol agents of Leptosphaeria maculans, the blackleg pathogen of canola
2006-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Leptosphaeria maculans causes blackleg disease of canola (Brassica napus L.). Bacteria isolated from soil, canola stubble and plant parts were assayed for suppression of blackleg. In plate assays, the bacteria isolated from canola stubble had the highest agar-diffusible antifungal activity (75%), which was fungitoxic. In plant cotyledon assays, endophytes had the highest disease suppression. Bacteria with the high...
