| evaluation of bacteria isolated from rice for plant growth promotion and biological control of seedling disease of rice. | of 102 rhizoplane and endophytic bacteria isolated from rice roots and stems in california, 37% significantly (p < or = 0.05) inhibited the growth in vitro of two pathogens, achlya klebsiana and pythium spinosum, causing seedling disease of rice. four endophytic strains were highly effective against seedling disease in growth pouch assays, and these were identified as pseudomonas fluorescens (s3), pseudomonas tolaasii (s20), pseudomonas veronii (s21), and sphingomonas trueperi (s12) by sequencin ... | 2001 | 11718545 |
