Question

is there any type of bacteria that can affect a plants reproduction but allow it to keep living, flourishing as it should.??????

Answer 1

There are saprophytic bacteria attacking flowers, but they are so specialized they tend to attack only crops. Search information on them to gain more knowledge.

Answer 2

There is a disease of rice plants called Tundu disease which is caused jointly by a nematode and a bacterium called Corynebacterium which affects only the infloroscence. the plant growth and other features are normal only the floral parts are affected and instead of grains galls are formed.

A similar disease known as smuts is caused by fungi in Sorghum and wheat. the disease is called smut. In wheat, one cannot differentiate between a healthy plant and a diseased one. It is only when the seed(grain) is formed, you will smut spores instead of grain in diseased plant.
