Pseudomonas spp. Mediate defense response in sugarcane through differential exudation of root phenolics

Pseudomonas spp., a ubiquitous biocontrol agent, protects the plants from phytopathogens by suppressing them directly by reinforcing the plant’s intrinsic defense mechanism. Root exudated phenolics play an important role in establishing the rhizobacteria population and cross the host boundaries in b...
