“…For example, in pea, the co-delivery of T. harzianum , B. subtilis , and Pseudomonas aeruginosa resulted in reduced mortality when challenged with S. sclerotiorum ( Jain et al, 2015 ). In another example, Bahkali et al (2014) found the C. minitans , T. viride , and T. hamatum , applied as soil drenches, were more effective than S. griseoviridis , B. subtilis , or Pseudomonas fluorescens alone in S. sclerotiorum disease suppression in beans. However, the best observed results (100% disease suppression) were achieved with the combination of either C. minitans + S griseoviridis or T. hamatum + S. griseoviridis .…”

Phytopathogenic members of the Sclerotinia genus cause widespread disease across a broad range of economically important crops. In particular, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is considered one of the most destructive and cosmopolitan of plant pathogens. Here, were review the epidemiology of the pathogen, its economic impact on agricultural production, and measures employed toward control of disease. We review the broad approaches required to tackle Sclerotinia diseases and include cultural practices, crop genetic resistance, chemical fungicides, and biological controls. We highlight the benefits and drawbacks of each approach along with recent advances within these controls and future strategies.

“…Differing modes of action can be delivered through individual microbes, with varying specificity and efficacy towards individual pathogens, or alternatively, brought together in assembled microbial consortia ( Mukherjee et al., 2013 ; Fira et al., 2018 ; Mukhopadhyay and Kumar, 2020 ; Blake et al., 2021 ; Boro et al., 2022 ). The association of multiple MBCAs leads to combined modes of action that can act synergistically, providing more effective disease control than individual microbes ( Bahkali et al., 2014 ; Minchev et al., 2021 ). Recent studies highlight that the strategic combination and deployment of multiple modes of action should be considered to overcome current gaps in the design of microbial inoculants for crop protection.…”

Streptomyces and their specialised metabolites for phytopathogen control – comparative in vitro and in planta metabolic approaches

In the search for new crop protection microbial biocontrol agents, isolates from the genus Streptomyces are commonly found with promising attributes. Streptomyces are natural soil dwellers and have evolved as plant symbionts producing specialised metabolites with antibiotic and antifungal activities. Streptomyces biocontrol strains can effectively suppress plant pathogens via direct antimicrobial activity, but also induce plant resistance through indirect biosynthetic pathways. The investigation of factors stimulating the production and release of Streptomyces bioactive compounds is commonly conducted in vitro, between Streptomyces sp. and a plant pathogen. However, recent research is starting to shed light on the behaviour of these biocontrol agents in planta, where the biotic and abiotic conditions share little similarity to those of controlled laboratory conditions. With a focus on specialised metabolites, this review details (i) the various methods by which Streptomyces biocontrol agents employ specialised metabolites as an additional line of defence against plant pathogens, (ii) the signals shared in the tripartite system of plant, pathogen and biocontrol agent, and (iii) an outlook on new approaches to expedite the identification and ecological understanding of these metabolites under a crop protection lens.

White mold, caused by the fungal pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, is a significant biotic stress impacting horticultural and field crops worldwide. This disease causes plants to wilt and ultimately die, resulting in considerable yield losses. This monocyclic disease progresses through a single infection cycle involving basal infections from myceliogenically germinated sclerotia or aerial infections initiated by ascospores from carpogenically germinated sclerotia. The pathogen has a homothallic mating system with a weak population structure. Relatively cool temperatures and extended wetness are typical conditions for spreading the disease. Each stage of infection triggers a cascade of molecular and physiological events that underpin defense responses against S. sclerotiorum. Molecular markers can help rapid diagnosis of this disease in plants. Effective management strategies encompass altering the crop microclimate, applying fungicides, reducing inoculum sources, and developing resistant plant varieties. Integrated approaches combining those strategies often yield the best results. This review discusses the latest insights into the biology, epidemiology, infection mechanisms, and early detection of white mold. This review also aims to provide comprehensive guidelines for sustainable management of this destructive disease while reducing the use of excessive pesticides in crop fields.
