Abstract
Efficient colonization of the plant root is thought to be crucial for the plant-beneficial effect of particular Pseudomonas strains. Since r oot colonization is often the limiting step for successful plant growt h stimulation, this process needs improvement. It is therefore importa nt to acquire more information as regards (i) the conditions in the rh izosphere, and (ii) the bacterial traits that are involved in coloniza tion. This review discusses some recent studies that focus on these tw o issues.
