Abstract: Pythium oligandrum is an important biological control agent and has been successfully used in agriculture. It has been a popular field in recent decades due to its characteristic of broad spectrum antifungal activity, inducing the plant systemic resistance, plant growth promotion and increasing the yield. In this review, we summarized the molecular mechanism and signal transduction in this biocontrol agent. We also analyzed the problems existing in the studies and application, and proposed some suggestions.

Key words: Pythium oligandrum, biological control agents, signal transduction, molecular mechanism
