    摘要: Compositions and methods are provided for improving a plant's immune response using a combination of microbes and/or their growth by-products. Specifically, the subject invention improves a plant's ability to withstand an infection by a pest or pathogen using a combination of a Trichoderma sp. fungus and a Bacillus sp. bacterium, and, optionally, one or more other microorganisms. In certain embodiments, the compositions and methods of the subject invention can modulate the recognition of PAMPs and/or the induction of defensive mechanisms in a plant. In a specific embodiment, the invention reduces induction of self-harming defensive mechanisms that are irreversible and/or over-induced in the plant.
