Comparative study of endophytic bacterial strains from non-host crops for enhancing plant growth and managing early blight in tomato.

In the volatilome bioassay, the inhibition was due to VOCs emitted by endophytic bacteria, which are highly significant as they play a critical role in inhibiting the growth and germination of plant pathogen spores and also offer a distinct advantage over diffusible antibiotics as they can disperse over considerable distances, establishing fungistatic microenvironments around communities of antagonists ( Wang et al., 2019 ).
