Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Soil drenching with Micrococcus luteus reduced the severity of BYMV disease in faba bean by 78%.
- Intervention effect Soil drenching with Micrococcus luteus reduced BYMV viral accumulation in faba bean by 70%.
- Intervention effect Soil inoculation with Micrococcus luteus induced systemic resistance to BYMV in faba bean.
- Intervention effect Micrococcus luteus treatment significantly increased catalase, ascorbate peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase activities in BYMV-infected faba bean.
- Intervention effect Micrococcus luteus treatment significantly increased superoxide dismutase activity and total chlorophyll content in faba bean.
- Intervention effect Micrococcus luteus treatment reduced oxidative stress indicators, malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide, in faba bean.
- Observation Transcripts of genes involved in pathogenesis were upregulated in faba bean with the treatment-associated alterations.
- Recommendation Micrococcus luteus could be used as a biocontrol agent to protect faba bean plants against BYMV infection.
