Ralstonia solanacearum ΔPGI-1 Strain KZR-5 Is Affected in Growth, Response to Cold Stress and Invasion of Tomato
TL;DR: Bacterial fate under conditions of amino acid starvation, during growth, upon incubation at low temperature and invasion of tomato plants is assessed and the potential role of PGI-1 in plant invasion, response to stress and growth in competition at high and moderate temperatures is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of Collimonas strain IS343 with Rhizoctonia solani at low carbon availability in vitro and in soil
TL;DR: Results suggest that strain IS343 cells are able to tentatively suppress R. solani AG2-2IIIB mycelium growth in soil and could be competition for available nutrients or the production of chitinase behind the observed suppressive effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Pea (Pisum sativum) Seeds in Transmission of Entero-Aggregative Escherichia coli to Growing Plants.
TL;DR: It was drawn that translocation of E. coli cells via the vascular tissue of the stems to developing pea seeds seems unlikely under circumstances realistic for agricultural practices, but the fact that all three E coli strains showed stronger preference for the root-soil zones of growing pea plants than for the above soil plant compartments indicate that E. bacteria in general will colonize root compartments of crop plants in production systems.

TL;DR: In this article , the use of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) as a BCA on spinach plants in the field led to higher residual counts of Bt in spinach (fresh or frozen) in the food supply chain, but the residual counts exceeding the commonly assumed safety limit of 105 CFU/g was only found in one fresh spinach sample.
