plantbacteria
Plantbacteria refers to bacteria that interact with plants in ways that shape growth, health, and development. They occupy diverse niches, including the rhizosphere (root‑soil interface), the phyllosphere (above‑ground surfaces), endophytic spaces inside tissues, and seeds. Plantbacteria comprise a range of lifestyles, from pathogens that cause disease to beneficial symbionts and growth‑promoting endophytes, as well as non‑pathogenic residents that influence physiology without obvious symptoms.
Pathogenic plantbacteria cause diseases such as leaf spots, wilts, cankers, and galls. They deploy virulence strategies
Beneficial plantbacteria form symbiotic relationships or act as endophytes that can enhance plant growth and stress
