Page 2 Plant-Bacteria Interactions Edited by Iqbal Ahmad, John ...

1. A better understanding of the community and population dynamics of rhizospheric
bacteria of water hyacinth in metal-polluted environments.
2. The roles of rhizospheric bacteria and the plant root in metal removal processes
and metal resistance of water hyacinth.
3. The mechanism(s) of the mutualistic relationship between rhizospheric bacteria
and plants and characterization of the plant growth promoting properties of
metal-resistant rhizobacteria.
