Plant-microbe interaction

Plant-microbe interactions involve the relationships between plants and microorganisms like bacteria and fungi. These microbes can benefit plants by helping them absorb nutrients, improve growth, and increase resistance to pests and diseases. Some microbes live on or inside plant roots and leaves, forming partnerships called symbiosis. Others may cause diseases, harming the plant. Overall, these interactions are essential for plant health and ecosystem balance, influencing agriculture, natural habitats, and biodiversity. Understanding these relationships helps scientists develop sustainable farming methods and manage plant health more effectively.
