Quorum Quenching Mediated Biocontrol of Potato Soft Rot: Advances in Mechanisms, Applications, and Future Prospects

Aug 2026 · Potato Research · Vol 69 · 0 citations · 70 references

TL;DR

This article examines quorum quenching (QQ), a broad anti-virulence biocontrol strategy that encompasses not only the enzymatic degradation of bacterial quorum-sensing signals (specifically N-acyl homoserine lactones or AHLs) but also the competitive blocking of signal production and perception.

Soil Biochemical Priming by a Bacillus – Pseudomonas Consortium Underpins Synergistic Suppression of Phytophthora infestans and Enhances Potato Resistance to Late Blight

These findings provide evidence for three complementary biological activities—synergistic antibiosis, suppression of selected pathogen virulence‐associated genes, and soil biochemical priming—that offers a transferable framework for microbial consortium engineering in sustainable potato production.

Characterization of a Novel Quorum Quencher Acinetobacter schindleri Strain XJ-10: AHL Degradation Capability, Metabolic Pathways and Its Role in Soft Rot Disease Biocontrol

While strain XJ-10 showed no detectable acylase activity, it exhibited significant degradation activity against AHL, suggesting a distinct QQ mechanism, and these findings broaden the scope of QQ-based biocontrol strategies and enhance mechanistic insights into managing bacterial diseases through QS modulation.

Endophytes for Biological Control of Bacterial Diseases in Horticultural Crops: Mechanisms, Translational Constraints and the Case of Pomegranate Blight

The strongest general conclusion is that endophytic competence can improve persistence and spatial proximity to infection courts, but endophytic residence alone does not guarantee effective disease control, and endophytic residence alone does not guarantee effective disease control.

Endophyte-mediated pest resistance: mechanisms, evidence gaps, and translational opportunities

This review critically synthesizes the ‘landscape’ of endophyte-mediated pest resistance through direct antagonism by insecticidal metabolites and enzymes, immune priming, signaling crosstalk, volatile organic compound-mediated indirect defense, and microbiome restructuring to provide a translational framework for movi...

Biocontrol Potential of Bacillus velezensis xd3 in Alleviating Root Rot of Garlic (Allium sativum L.)

Garlic root rot, mainly caused by Fusarium proliferatum, severely compromises yield and quality and causes substantial economic losses worldwide. Biocontrol using antagonistic bacteria has emerged as an efficient and sustainable strategy for managing this soil-borne disease. In this study, Bacillus velezensis xd3 was i...
