RT Journal Article T1 Fitness Features Involved in the Biocontrol Interaction of Pseudomonas chlororaphis With Host Plants: The Case Study of PcPCL1606 A1 Arrebola-Díez, Eva María A1 Tienda Serrano, Sandra A1 Vida Hinojosa, Carmen María A1 De-Vicente-Moreno, Antonio A1 Cazorla-López, Francisco Manuel K1 Pseudomonas K1 Rizobacterias K1 Aguacates - Raíces K1 Hongos fitopatógenos - Control AB The goal of this mini review is to summarize the relevant contribution of somebeneficial traits to the behavior of the species Pseudomonas chlororaphis, andusing that information, to give a practical point of view using the model biocontrolstrain P. chlororaphis PCL1606 (PcPCL1606). Among the group of plant-beneficialrhizobacteria, P. chlororaphis has emerged as a plant- and soil-related bacterium thatis mainly known because of its biological control of phytopathogenic fungi. Many traitshave been reported to be crucial during the multitrophic interaction involving the plant,the fungal pathogen and the soil environment. To explore the different biocontrol-relatedtraits, the biocontrol rhizobacterium PcPCL1606 has been used as a model in recentstudies. This bacterium is antagonistic to many phytopathogenic fungi and displayseffective biocontrol against fungal phytopathogens. Antagonistic and biocontrol activitiesare directly related to the production of the compound 2-hexyl, 5-propyl resorcinol(HPR), despite the production of other antifungal compounds. Furthermore, PcPCL1606has displayed additional traits regarding its fitness in soil and plant root environmentssuch as soil survival, efficient plant root colonization, cell-to-cell interaction or promotionof plant growth.
