e0“The potential of the active ingredient of a commercial bioinsecticide, XenTari ® ( Bacillus thuringiensis [ BT ] serovar aizawai strain ABTS‐1857), to suppress gray mold in tomato plants was elucidated”
e1“The gray mold disease was significantly suppressed when rhizospheres were drenched with either inoculum, but not when inocula were sprayed onto detached leaves of seedlings”
e2“propagules of the gray mold fungus, Botrytis cinerea, were inoculated onto the leaves”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Drenching tomato rhizospheres with Bacillus thuringiensis inoculum significantly suppressed gray mold disease caused by Botrytis cinerea.
- Intervention effect Both Bacillus thuringiensis inocula did not directly inhibit mycelial growth of Botrytis cinerea in vitro.
- Intervention effect The active ingredient increased the expression of defence-related genes PR-1 (P6) and P4 in tomato seedling leaves.
- Mechanism Bacillus thuringiensis inoculum suppresses tomato gray mold through systemic activation of the plant defence system rather than direct antagonism of Botrytis cinerea.
