Cover Story: Can environmental factors like light intensity determine the success of biocontrol strategies against plant diseases? This study visually demonstrates that higher light intensity significantly enhances the ability of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens PMB05 to intensify strong immune responses and control bacterial wilt in Arabidopsis and tomato plants. By comparing plants grown under different light conditions, the research highlights that only those under high light, and with an intact salicylic acid pathway, achieve robust disease resistance when treated with PMB05. These findings reveal that adjusting environmental parameters such as light can optimize the disease-control potential of beneficial microbes, offering a promising approach for sustainable crop protection. View this paper
