Can opine-utilizing fungi in soil help to fight Agrobacterium infection?

24 May 2023 1 5K Report

Chantal Jeanne Beauchamp with colleagues (1990) (Fungal Catabolism of Crown Gall Opines) described fungi capable to utilize several opines as their sole carbon and nitrogen source. Is it possible, that such fungi will reduce Agrobacterium population in soil around diseased plants and, thus, will protect healthy plants from this infection?

Alex Ignatov

Despite very high occurrence of Agrobacterium-caused "crazy roots" disease in new hydroponic greenhouses (about 70%), there are several locations in Russia that stay unaffected. It looks like they have specific microbiota that suppress the disease.
