The bacterial biocontrol agent <i>Paenibacillus alvei</i> K165 confers inherited resistance to <i>Verticillium dahliae</i> Open
The biocontrol agent Paenibacillus alvei K165 was previously shown to protect Arabidopsis thaliana plants against Verticillium dahliae. Here we show that K165 also confers inherited immune resistance to V. dahliae. By performing a histone …
