- Intervention effect Mixing Serratia with virus before inoculation gave 100% viral inhibition.
- Intervention effect A mixture of purified Serratia compounds reduced infection in cucumber by 95%.
- Intervention effect Liquid bacterial culture treatment reduced WMV accumulation in leaves.
- Intervention effect Treatment 24 hours after virus inoculation reduced WMV accumulation in leaves.
- Intervention effect Serratia use increased total protein, polyphenoloxidase and phenolic compounds versus infected and healthy controls.
- Intervention effect Serratia use reduced glutathione oxidase compared with infected and healthy controls.
- Recommendation The authors consider Serratia and its metabolites promising for WMV control and plant growth promotion.
