• Resumen

  • Diseases associated with fungal root invasion cause a significant loss of fruit tree production worldwide. The bacterium Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes AVO110 controls avocado white root rot disease caused by Rosellinia necatrix by using mechanisms involving competition for nutrients and niches. Here, a functional genomics approach was conducted to identify the bacterial traits involved in the interaction with this fungal pathogen. Our results contribute to a better understanding of the multitrophic interactions established among bacterial biocontrol agents, the plant rhizosphere, and the mycelia of soilborne pathogens.
