Siderophore-Mediated Plant Growth Promotion and Colonization of Roots by Strains of 'Pseudomonas spp.' (Door Sideroforen Bepaalde Plantegroeistimulatie en Kolonisatie van Wortels door Stammen van 'Pseudomonas spp.')

摘要

The thesis is part of a multidisciplinary research project, the ultimate goal of which is to control soilborne plant pathogens and to promote crop production by the stimulation or introduction of non-pathogenic micro-organisms in the rhizosphere. In the present thesis, rhizosphere ecological and phytopathological aspects of the multidisciplinary project are presented.
