The mode of action of plant associated Burkholderia against grey mould disease in grapevine revealed through traits and genomic analyses.

ABSTRACT: Plant-associated Burkholderia spp. have been shown to offer a promising alternative method that may address concerns with ecological issue associated with pesticide overuse in agriculture. However to date, little work has studied the role of Burkholderia species as biocontrol agents for grapevine pathogens. To this end, two Burkholderia strains, BE17 and BE24 isolated from the maize rhizosphere in France, were investigated to determine their biocontrol potential and their ability to induce systemic resistance against grey mould disease in grapevine. Results showed the capacity of both strains to inhibit spore germination and mycelium growth of Botrytis cinerea. Experimental inoculation with BE17 and BE24 showed a significant protection of bacterized-plantlets against grey mould compared to
