Multiple Beauveria Species Boost Tomato Growth and Completely Stop Gray Mold Through Transcriptomic Reprogramming

A new study in J. Fungi shows that five Beauveria species colonize tomato plants, promote growth, and dramatically reduce Botrytis cinerea infection. One species, B. brongniartii, provides complete protection, supported by transcriptomic evidence of induced defense pathways.
