Mhlongo, Msizi I.; Piater, Lizelle A.; Steenkamp, Paul A.; Labuschagne, Nico; Dubery, Ian A. (MDPI, 2020-11-16)Pathogenic microorganisms account for large production losses in the agricultural sector. Phytophthora capsici is an oomycete that causes blight and fruit rot in important crops, especially those in the Solanaceae family. ...

Idris, H. Ahmed; Labuschagne, Nico; Korsten, Lise (Cambridge University Press, 2009)The screening of rhizobacteria for growth promotion of sorghum (Sorghum bicolour (L.) Moench) was conducted under greenhouse conditions for a total of 78 bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of sorghum in Ethiopia, and ...

Mhlongo, Msizi I.; Piater, Lizelle A.; Steenkamp, Paul A.; Labuschagne, Nico; Dubery, Ian A. (MDPI, 2020-05-20)Plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial microbes in the rhizosphere that can directly or indirectly stimulate plant growth. In addition, some can prime plants for enhanced defense against a broad range ...

Mhlongo, Msizi I.; Piater, Lizelle A.; Steenkamp, Paul A.; Labuschagne, Nico; Dubery, Ian A. (MDPI, 2021-08)Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can stimulate disease suppression through the induction of an enhanced state of defense readiness. Here, untargeted ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry ...
