The plant is crucial: specific composition and function of the phyllosphere microbiome of indoor ornamentals [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2016
The plant microbiome is a key determinant of plant health. Less is known about the phyllosphere microbiota and its driving factors in built environments. To study the variability of the microbiome in relation to plant genotype and climate under different controlled conditions, we investigated 14 phylogenetically diverse plant species grown in the ...

Functional gene categories differentiate maize leaf drought-related microbial epiphytic communities.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The phyllosphere epiphytic microbiome is composed of microorganisms that colonize the external aerial portions of plants. Relationships of plant responses to specific microorganisms-both pathogenic and beneficial-have been examined, but the phyllosphere ...

Common mycorrhizal networks enhance defense responses against pathogens in neighboring plants

iMetaOmics
Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can establish common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) and assemble their own phyllosphere microbiome. Although the roles of the AM fungi in soil microbiomes have been extensively studied, little is known about the role of ...

Differentiation of the Foliar Microbiomes From Co‐Occurring Grass Species Reflects Their Recency of Invasion

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study examined the foliar fungal and bacterial microbiomes of two co‐occurring invasive grasses, recently introduced Oplismenus undulatifolius and long‐established Microstegium vimineum. Oplismenus communities exhibited lower diversity within samples and greater turnover between samples.

Host Identity Determines the Bacterial and Fungal Community and Network Structures in the Phyllosphere of Plant Species in a Temperate Steppe

Phytobiomes Journal
Elucidating the plant−microbiome network is of importance in understanding species coexistence in natural ecosystems. The phyllosphere, which is the aerial parts of terrestrial plants, is inhabited by diverse microbes.

Fungal Community Composition Varies Across Floral and Extrafloral Nectaries

Journal of Basic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Floral (FNs) and extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are key plant microhabitats that mediate interactions among plants, insects, and microorganisms, yet their associated fungal communities remain poorly characterized, especially in tropical ecosystems.

Hidden Microbiota Inhabiting in Pollen Reserves of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) From Amazonas Region Revealed by DNA Metabarcoding

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
DNA metabarcoding of honey bee pollen reserves from Amazonas region reveals that microbial communities are strongly shaped by their ecosystem. Despite high taxonomic turnover across different habitats, these microbiomes maintain stable, essential functions for pollinator health, though they remain highly vulnerable to habitat homogenization.

Cotton Recruits Soil‐Derived Delftia tsuruhatensis to Suppress Aphid Detoxification Via Salicylic Acid‐Mediated Defense

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 38, 9 July 2026.
This study systematically reveals a complex interactive network involving plants, microbes, and insects, elucidating the ecological and molecular mechanisms by which cotton enhances its resistance to aphids through the active recruitment of the beneficial soil bacterium Delftia tsuruhatensis.

The grapevine microbiota: A review on the possible impacts of plant protection programs on phyllosphere microorganisms

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 1, July 2026.
This review highlights recent advances in understanding how plant protection programs and alternative fungicides affect the taxonomic composition of the grapevine phyllosphere microbiota. Bacterial and fungal communities are primarily shaped by the plant compartment, vineyard location, and sampling time. Plant protection programs generally have a minor

Macroecology of Microbial Performance Across Earth's Biomes

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim A central goal of global ecology is to determine whether widespread spatial distribution reflects broad ecological performance. For microorganisms, this remains unresolved because occurrence and performance are rarely evaluated together across biomes.
