| description | Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) produced by plant growth promoting bacteria plays an
important role in enhancing plant growth. This chemical compound helps in
suppressing plant pathogens and act as biological control agent against plant diseases.
HCN is also known as an antimicrobial compound involved in biological control of
many root diseases. In Malaysia, the spread of Papaya Dieback Disease (PDD) has
caused great losses to papaya production. Unfortunately, the effective remedies to
combat this disease are lacking. This study was carried out to investigate the potential of LAB as biological control agent in producing hydrogen cyanide (HCN) as a
mechanism to inhibit the causing pathogen of PDD, Erwinia mallotivora. Five
endophytes and twenty rhizospheric microbes from papaya plant were tested for their
HCN-producing ability and it was found that the produced HCN levels were
successfully detectable. These findings revealed one of the alternatives that can be
used in agriculture to control plant diseases. The use of these promising isolates in biofertilizer
is anticipated to restrain the pathogen and enhance plant growth. |
