The Ecology and Biogeography of Microorganisms on Plant Surfaces

Andrews, John H., Harris, Robin F.·2000·Annual Review of Phytopathology

Abstract

The vast surface of the plant axis, stretching from root tips occasionally buried deeply in anoxic sediment, to apical meristems held far aloft, provides an extraordinarily diverse habitat for microorganisms. Each zone has to a greater or lesser extent its own cohort of microorganisms, in aggregate comprising representatives from all three primary domains of life—Bacteria, Archaea, and Eucarya. While the plant sets the stage for its microbial inhabitants, they, in turn, have established varied relationships with their large partner. These associations range from relatively inconsequential (transient epiphytic saprophytes) to substantial (epiphytic commensals, mutualistic symbionts, endophytes, or pathogens). Through recent technological breakthroughs, a much better perspective is beginning to emerge on the nature of these relationships, but still relatively little is known about the role of epiphytic microbial associations in the life of the plant.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
