Abstract:The inherent potential of apple trees was investigated to explore bacterial endophytes and their role in suppressing Dematophora necatrix, the incitant of white root rot disease. Resultantly 34 endophytic bacteria secluded from healthy apple plants, and subsequently 6 most efficient isolates viz. Bacillus megaterium strain EA3, Enterobacter sp. strain EA7, Bacillus megaterium strain EK2, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strain EK6, Acinetobacter nosocomialis strain ES2 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain ES8 depicti… Show more
