Disease-Suppressive Soil and Root-Colonizing Bacteria

Schroth, Milton N., Hancock, Joseph G.·1982·Science

Abstract

Soils in many areas suppress certain plant diseases. Understanding the basis for this disease suppressiveness could lead to improved plant health in less favorable areas. Some forms of disease suppression may be caused by bacteria in the genus Pseudomonas which aggressively colonize root surfaces. Increased plant growth and yield are closely associated with the capacity of some of these bacteria to produce iron-binding compounds called siderophores. This article addresses the biological characteristics of these soil-borne root epiphytes, their contribution to plant health, and their potential use in biotechnology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
