Abstract: Myxobacteria, which are important micropredators, possess multiple mechanisms and important application potentials in biological control of plant diseases. However, only few studies in this field have been reported, and there is no related research was performed or published in China. In order to arouse the research attention of researchers in biocontrol function of myxobacteria, this paper reviewed the biocontrol mechanisms of myxobacteria, and the research progress of myxobacteria in biological control of plant diseases. In addition, some current limitations and future directions about the research of biocontrol function of myxobacteria were also discussed, which was expected to provide reference for myxobacteria application in plant disease control.

Key words: myxobacteria, biological control, plant disease
