This encapsulates the general relationship between plant and bacteria in
the natural and agricultural ecosystem. It is based on the activities of useful bacteria,
such as plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPRs) and nitrogen-fixing bacteria, in
promoting plant growth and plant tolerance to stressful situations regarding
pollution, salinity, and drought. The article also mentions that the bacteria maintain
plant health by secretion of phytohormones, nitrogen fixation, solubilization of
phosphate, and production of antibiotics against pathogenic bacteria. The article also
mentions the existing applications of the interaction in sustainable agriculture and
bioremediation of contaminated soils.
