Abstract	Bacteria colonizing plant surfaces are of great importance in agriculture, having either a negative (pathogens surviving on leaf surfaces) or a positive (beneficial root-colonizing bacteria) role. Plant-associated populations develop in a way that shows similarities to that observed in biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces, and certain genetic determinants are common to both processes. The mechanisms involved in biofilm formation and maintenance on plant surfaces, and their implications for agriculture will be discussed, both in terms of pathogenesis processes and the potential use of bacteria for biocontrol purposes.
