Abstract

Numerous genetic and climatic factors constantly endanger the quality and quantity of crop products. Synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, which are dangerous to the environment, human health, and animals, are applied as part of conventional management procedures to lessen the effects of these elements. Additionally, excessive usage of these pesticides has had negative effects, including the deaths of animals and farmers from lethal diseases. These days, using microorganisms to support plant growth and provide biological defense against pathogens is given a lot of attention. It has been determined that many bacterial and fungal species are advantageous to the plant hosts. Bacillus has been given specific attention in this regard as they are capable of producing pathogen-inhibiting metabolites and indirectly enhancing plant growth. These metabolites include various cell wall degrading enzymes like protease, lipopeptides, chitosanase, hydrogen cyanide, glucanase, and cellulase, which inhibit different disease-causing bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Bacillus mimics the harmful effects of pathogens upon contact with the plant hosts activating the host defense mechanisms by triggering resistance genes, proteins, phytohormones, and metabolites. Additionally, the ability to produce spores resistant to harsh environments favors the Bacillus spp. as a biocontrol agent. However, the underlying mechanisms for such responses induced by Bacillus spp. are not well documented in the literature. This chapter gives the current knowledge available regarding the molecular mechanisms adapted by Bacillus spp. related to the biocontrol of different plant disease-causing agents.
