Abstract


Bacteria present in the rhizosphere can be beneficial for the plant, called: Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR). They are able to promote directly the growth of plants (biofertilization and phytostimulation) or indirectly by protecting the plant (biocontrol) against diseases of different origins; biotic like bacterial, fungal, viral or parasitic and/or abiotic like environmental stress. Biocontrol mainly involves the production of inhibitory susbtance by the so-called antagonistic biocontrol agents (BCA) through antibiosis phenomenon, lytic enzymes, siderophores, biofilm formation, competition and allelochemicals. Therefore, this short communication focus on the biocontrol aspect and different mechanisms of action of PGPR to manage plant diseases.
