Plant Colonization by Biocontrol Bacteria and Improved Plant Health: A Review by Roohallah Saberi Riseh, Fariba Fathi, Mozhgan Gholizadeh Vazvani, Mika Tapio Tarkka

“…Moving beyond the roots, biocontrol bacteria migrate and colonize other plant organs, including stems, leaves, and even flowers. Also, the present review attempts to explore the mechanisms facilitating bacterial movement within the plant such as migrating through interconnected spaces such as vessels or in the apoplast, and applying quorum sensing or extracellular enzymes during colonization and what is needed to establish a long-term association within a plant. …”
