Plant-associated bacteria face multiple selection pressures within their environments and have evolved countless adaptations that both depend on and shape bacterial phenotype and their interaction with plant hosts. Explaining bacterial adaptation and evolution therefore requires considering each of these forces independently as well as their interactions. In this review, we examine how bacteriophage viruses (phages) can alter the ecology and evolution of plant-associated bacterial populations and communities. This includes influencing a bacterial population's response to both abiotic and biotic selection pressures and altering ecological interactions within the microbiome and between the bacteria and host plant. We outline specific ways in which phages can alter bacterial phenotype and discuss when and how this might impact plant-microbe interactions, including for plant pathogens. Finally, we highlight key open questions in phage-bacteria-plant research and offer suggestions for future study.
植物相关细菌在其环境中面临多种选择压力，并进化出无数的适应能力，这些适应能力既依赖于细菌表型，又塑造了其与植物宿主的相互作用。因此，要解释细菌的适应和进化，就需要分别考虑这些因素，以及它们之间的相互作用。在这篇综述中，我们探讨了噬菌体（phages）如何改变植物相关细菌种群和群落的生态学和进化。这包括影响细菌种群对非生物和生物选择压力的反应，以及改变微生物组内和细菌与宿主植物之间的生态相互作用。我们概述了噬菌体改变细菌表型的具体方式，并讨论了这种改变何时以及如何影响植物-微生物相互作用，包括对植物病原体的影响。最后，我们强调了噬菌体-细菌-植物研究中的关键问题，并为未来的研究提供了建议。
