Abstract
Bacteria have potential advantages over fungi in biocontrol of plant diseases. Among these is the ability of some bacteria to colonize the rhizospheres of roots from inoculation onto seed. This property is known as rhizosphere competence. Fungal mutants have been produced, however, that are rhizosphere competent. These can not only protect developing roots from microbial attack in soil but also produce a plant growth-stimulating factor.
