Biological control of the most common wheat fungal diseases: modes-of-action of microbial antagonists, challenges and future perspectives.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production is severely threatened by a range of fungal pathogens that greatly constrain the plant health, grain quality and overall yield. Current strategies for managing wheat fungal diseases primarily rely on host resistance breeding, chemical fungicides and cultural practices. The effect...
