Plant microbiome structure and functions are shaped by several factors, including host genotype and developmental stage, the presence or absence of diseases, and environmental conditions. These factors may lead to distinct microbial communities in the rhizosphere, endosphere, and phyllosphere. Studies directed to microbial interactions in plant compartments are fundamental for understanding the microbial ecology of phytobiomes, enabling the development of microbiome-based technologies in the search for sustainable agriculture. In this chapter, are described plant compartments, i.e., the rhizosphere, phyllosphere and endosphere, and the more common bacterial composition of each compartment. Are also discussed manipulation of the plant microbiome toward improved plant health. Advances in this ?eld will lead to strategies where the manipulation of the plant microbiome will allow the reduction of pesticide and fertilizer use in ?eld crops, paving the way to a more sustainable agriculture.  aBacterial communities  aMicrobiome  aPlant morphology  aRizosfera  aPhillosphere1 aFLORES, S.
