Abstract

Many of the bacteria that associate with plants bind tenaciously to plant cells. This characteristic appears to have important functional implications for the inception of disease-causing and symbiotic interactions. Although binding is complex and as yet poorly understood, experimental manipulation of this process holds promise for improved plant productivity.
