Cotton Host-Microbe Interactions

  • Chapter
Physiology of Cotton

Abstract

Throughout its life the cotton plant is constantly confronted by microorganisms that may be either beneficial, commensal, or pathogenic. Some of these microbes are endophytes that live in all parts of the plant and are carried from one generation to the next in the seed. Other microbes, including many pathogens, are dormant in the soil until cotton or another suitable host stimulates their regrowth. Other bacteria and fungi in soil are active saprophytes that break down organic matter and also use exudates from the cotton root. Finally, there is a constant fall out of microbes from the air onto the plant surface. It is not uncommon to find microbial populations between one million and one trillion per gram of fresh tissue on either the root or the fiber soon after the boll opens. The cotton plant is exposed to enormous numbers of microbes that can influence its growth and usefulness by affecting nutrient availability; producing plant growth regulators; secreting antibiotics, phytotoxins, and mycotoxins; and invading plant tissues to cause disease.
