Abstract: The combination of a Trichoderma virens species and a rhizosphere competent Trichoderma harzianum species is used to control plant diseases and enhance plant growth.

Abstract: Methods of controlling plant diseases mediated by bacterial or fungal plant pathogens. The method comprises providing Streptomyces scopuliridis strain RB72 or an isolated protein or polypeptide comprising the amino acid of SEQ ID NO:1 and applying the Streptomyces scopuliridis strain RB72 or the isolated protein or polypeptide comprising the amino acid of SEQ ID NO:1 to plants or plant seeds under conditions effective to treat plant diseases mediated by bacterial or fungal plant pathogens. Also disclosed is a plant or plant seed treated by this method, a planting composition, and a method of enhancing growth.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transgenic Trichoderma spp. having a recombinant nucleic acid molecule encoding a bioactive molecule. The present invention also relates to methods for controlling plant disease that involve applying a transgenic strain of Trichoderma spp. plants or plants seeds, where the transgenic strain of Trichoderma spp. has a recombinant nucleic acid molecule encoding a bioactive molecule that is capable of controlling plant disease and conferring systemic disease resistance to the plant or a plant grown from the plant seed. The present invention also relates to a method of delivering a bioactive molecule to a plant or plant seed. The method involves providing a transgenic strain of Trichoderma spp. having a recombinant nucleic acid molecule encoding a bioactive molecule and applying the transgenic strain of Trichoderma ssp. the plant's roots or seeds.
