“…Plant diseases can be mitigated in a variety of ways, including cultural, physical, chemical, and behavioral practices. Growers typically rely on the use of chemical treatments, such as fungicides and bactericides, which have been in widespread use for more than a century but none of them are sustainable (Malik et al, 2021). On the other hand, the use of these synthetic chemical treatments in agriculture has been linked to causing numerous issues such as the development of resistance in pathogen populations, detrimental impacts on human health, loss of beneficial soil microbes, the introduction of leftover harmful material into the food chain, and decreased in biodiversity of microorganisms (Sindhu et al, 2016).…”

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.

“…However, the sustainability of these methods remains a concern, as no approach has proven to be entirely effective and environmentally friendly. Additionally, the usage of fungicides to manage A. flavus might increase the risk of developing fungicideresistant mold strains, environmental pollution, and negative effects on food safety (Malik et al 2021).…”

Background Aspergillus spp. infection might induce negative effects on peanut seeds, including decreased germination rates and suppressed seedling vigor. Furthermore, A. flavus can secret aflatoxin, regarding food safety and human health. The prolonged use of fungicides for treating mold infections has raised concerns regarding the emergence of fungicide-resistant strains, environmental pollution, and adverse effects on human health. The usage of lactic acid bacteria, including Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Levilactobacillus brevis for the management of plant diseases, has garnered increasing attention in recent years as a viable alternative to chemical-based therapies. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of LABs in pre-treating peanut seeds as a biological solution against A. flavus infection before cultivation. Results Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Levilactobacillus brevis have demonstrated the ability to suppress A. flavus in vitro. In the in vivo investigation, pre-treatment of peanut seeds with cell-free supernatant derived from L. plantarum (LP-CFS) and L. brevis (LB-CFS) significantly reduced A. flavus infection levels. The conidial count decreased from 8.63 log conidia/g in the untreated group to 5.35 log conidia/g with LP-CFS treatment and 4.59 log conidia/g with LB-CFS treatment. Additionally, A. flavus infection reduced the germination rate of peanut seeds to only 20.4% compared to 63.6% in the control group. In comparison, pre-treatment with LP-CFS and LB-CFS increased the germination rate to 75.6% and 76.8%, respectively, and further improved the vigor index in A. flavus-infected peanut seeds. Conclusion The present findings indicated that bioactive compounds derived from L. plantarum and L. brevis emerge as promising candidates for treating peanut seeds, effectively protecting them against A. flavus infection. Moreover, these compounds facilitate the growth of seedlings, which could be a potential alternative to chemical fungicides, and contribute to sustainable agricultural development.
