Abstract
Beneficial microorganisms which help plants to grow better especially under stress conditions are known as plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). These biotic agents, especially Bacillus subtilis have well-known role in plant growth promotion and induction of tolerance to stress in plants. They are deemed to act as bio-active and eco-friendly agents to facilitate plant growth under stressful conditions and even to control postharvest decays. Microbial antagonists, including B. subtilis, effectively control postharvest diseases of different fruits, vegetables and flowers, which is manifested in prolonged storage period and shelf/vase life, while preserving qualities and reducing weight losses. In this review paper we highlight the potential benefit of PGPBs especially B. subtilis, as important biotic useful agents to help horticultural plant perform better under stressful conditions and to delay senescence and control the postharvest deterioration through activation of different defense mechanisms. We further elaborate the underlying mechanisms that PGPB used to help plants to cope with stressful conditions. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of PGPB especially B. subtilis action requires further detailed investigations to fully utilize their potentials in horticulture industry.
