Plant microbiology examines the interactions between plants and microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. These relationships can be symbiotic, such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria in legumes, or pathogenic, leading to diseases that affect crop yield and quality. Beneficial microbes, like mycorrhizal fungi, enhance nutrient uptake and promote plant growth, making them valuable for sustainable agriculture. Advances in microbiome research have highlighted the importance of microbial communities in plant health, resilience, and productivity. Understanding these interactions is crucial for developing microbial inoculants and biocontrol agents that support plant growth and protect against diseases, reducing the reliance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
