“…Geosmin may be regarded as a volatile organic compound of microbial origin to which the human nose is extremely sensitive [ 45 ]. Although geosmin has no known antibiotic activity and its adaptive significance is not yet known, this metabolite might have an important role in the biology of streptomycetes [ 46 ]; indeed, it is a well-conserved trait and the gene responsible is highly conserved among Streptomyces spp. [ 47 ].…”

There has been many recent studies on the use of microbial antagonists to control diseases incited by soilborne and airborne plant pathogenic bacteria and fungi, in an attempt to replace existing methods of chemical control and avoid extensive use of fungicides, which often lead to resistance in plant pathogens. In agriculture, plant growth-promoting and biocontrol microorganisms have emerged as safe alternatives to chemical pesticides. Streptomyces spp. and their metabolites may have great potential as excellent agents for controlling various fungal and bacterial phytopathogens. Streptomycetes belong to the rhizosoil microbial communities and are efficient colonizers of plant tissues, from roots to the aerial parts. They are active producers of antibiotics and volatile organic compounds, both in soil and in planta, and this feature is helpful for identifying active antagonists of plant pathogens and can be used in several cropping systems as biocontrol agents. Additionally, their ability to promote plant growth has been demonstrated in a number of crops, thus inspiring the wide application of streptomycetes as biofertilizers to increase plant productivity. The present review highlights Streptomyces spp.-mediated functional traits, such as enhancement of plant growth and biocontrol of phytopathogens.

“…Microbial endophytes that efficiently and stably colonize different plant tissues, from roots to all aerial parts, have been long known, although their pivotal importance in agriculture has become evident only in recent decades. The main roles of endophytic microorganisms were discussed around 20 years ago, when several authors focused on symbiotic microorganisms and their possible plant-microbe interactions from a systematic, ecological, and physiological point of view [50][51][52][53]. Later discovery of the metabolic potential of such endophytes in planta, their ability to efficiently compete with other endophytes (included plant pathogens), and their role in stimulating the expression or overexpression of plant genomic sequences involved in tolerance/resistance to plant stresses (abiotic and biotic) indicated that selected endophytes may be considered as very promising agents to control plant pests and diseases.…”
