Abstract:
In the current scenario of growing world population, limited cultivable land resources, plant diseases, and pandemics are some of the major factors responsible for declining global food security. Along with meeting the food demand, the maintenance of food quality is also required to ensure healthy consumption and marketing. In agricultural fields, pest infestations and bacterial diseases are common causes of crop damage, leading to massive yield losses. Conventionally, antibiotics and several pesticides have been used to manage and control these plant pathogens. However, the overuse of antibiotics and pesticides has led to the emergence of resistant strains of pathogenic bacteria. The bacteriophages are the natural predators of bacteria and are host-specific in their action. Therefore, the use of bacteriophages for the biocontrol of pathogenic bacteria is serving as a sustainable and green solution in crop protection and production. In this review, we have discussed the important plant pathogens and their impact on plant health and yield loss. Further, we have abridged the role of bacteriophages in the protection of crops from bacterial disease by discussing various greenhouse and field trials. Finally, we have discussed the impact of bacteriophages on the plant microbiome, phage resistance, and legal challenges in the registration and commercial production of bacteriophage-based biopesticides.

摘要:
在目前世界人口不断增长的情况下,耕地资源有限,植物病害,大流行是导致全球粮食安全下降的一些主要因素。除了满足食物需求,为了确保健康的消费和营销,还需要保持食品质量。在农业领域,虫害和细菌性疾病是作物损害的常见原因,导致巨大的产量损失。传统上,抗生素和几种杀虫剂已被用来管理和控制这些植物病原体。然而,抗生素和杀虫剂的过度使用导致了病原菌耐药菌株的出现。噬菌体是细菌的天然捕食者并且在它们的作用中是宿主特异性的。因此,使用噬菌体生物防治病原菌是作物保护和生产的可持续和绿色解决方案。在这次审查中,我们已经讨论了重要的植物病原体及其对植物健康和产量损失的影响。Further,通过讨论各种温室和田间试验,我们简化了噬菌体在保护作物免受细菌性疾病中的作用。最后,我们已经讨论了噬菌体对植物微生物组的影响,噬菌体抗性,以及基于噬菌体的生物农药的注册和商业生产方面的法律挑战。
