Abstract
In nature, the interactions between plants and microorganisms are manifold and occur in the soil, the rhizosphere, or in the aerial part of a plant. These interactions can be quite different in their effect on the plant. Saprophytes colonize the surface of plants with no adverse influence. Pathogenic bacteria may have evolved from such harmless saprophytes by acquiring pathogenicity genes. The products of such genes cause a specific disease and eventually kill the plant. On the other hand, as demonstrated by the Rhizobia-legumes interaction, it is also possible that a symbiosis can evolve where both partners benefit from such a situation. This topic has been treated in recent reviews by Van Rhijn and Vanderleyden (1995) and Spaink (1995).
