Abstract
The present status of research on the molecular basis of microbe-plant interactions is discussed. Principles and mechanisms which play a role in the interactions of microbial pathogens, biofertilizers, phytostimulators, rhizoremediators and biocontrol agents with the plants are treated. Special emphasis is given to colonization, phase variation, two-component systems, quorum sensing, complex regulation of the syntheses of extracellular enzymes and secondary metabolites, Type 4 pili and Type III and Type IV secretion systems.Entities:
