LAB isolated from rhizosphere, triggered defense enzymes against R. solanacearum.
LAB induced a significant increase POX, PPO, PAL, Phenolics and β-1, 3-glucanase.
Native PAGE showed POX1 POX2 POX3 POX4 POX5 PPO1 PPO2 PPO3 and PPO4 isoforms.
Under Field conditions the maximum wilt reduction in LAB treated tomato plants.
