Plant Protective and Growth Promoting Effects of Seed Endophytes in Soybean Plants

Seed-borne diseases reduce not only the seed germination and seedling growth but also quality, resulting in significant yield loss crop production. Plant harbors diverse microbes termed endophytes other than pathogens inside it. However, their roles application to agricultures were rarely understood explored date. Recently, we had isolated from soybean seeds culturable exhibiting in-vitro antagonistic activities against common bacterial fungal seed-borne pathogens. In this study, evaluated effects of treatment with on plant protection pathogens: four (<i>Cercospora sojina, C. kikuchii, Septoria glycines, Diaporthe eres</i>) two (<i>Xanthomonas axonopodis</i> pv. <i>glycines, Pseudomonas syringae</i> <i>tabaci</i>). Our experiments showed that clearly offer We found some promote addition disease suppression. Taken together, our results demonstrate agricultural potential protection.
