Description
Ishan Tiwari and five co-workers wrote a 2024 study on a microbial peptide that fights bacterial wilt in tomatoes. Chemical sprays carry health and environmental risks, so safer options are sought. The team made the peptide from a lactic bacterium strain. Lab work first pinned down its exact amino acid chain.
Sprayed on leaves at a set dose, it cut disease cases by about half. Severity fell by a like share. Microscope views showed heavy damage to the germ's cells after exposure. The peptide also raised the plant's own defense enzymes. Plants grew taller, heavier and with longer roots under treatment.
