Plant diseases are a serious threat to food production. This unique
volume provides the fundamental knowledge and practical use of
B.subtilis as a promising biocontrol agent. In order to replace
chemical pesticides, one possibility is microbial pesticides using
safe microbes. Bacillus subtilis is one of several candidates.
Screening of the bacterium, the application of plant tests,
clarification of its suppressive mechanism to plant pathogens and
engineering aspects of suppressive peptides production are
presented here. The author illustrates how B. subtilis is far more
advantageous than, for example, Pseudomonas in biocontrol and can
be considered as an useful candidate. Features: Bacterium B.
subtilis suppresses many plant pathogens and is a biocontrol agent
to replace chemical pesticides The book presents the bacterium's
suppressive mechanism to plant pathogens, and engineering aspects
of suppressive peptides production Biological control of plant
disease plays an important role in sustainable agricultural
production practices and is expected to replace agricultural
chemicals
