A synthetic community approach reveals plant genotypes affecting the phyllosphere microbiota. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 The identity of plant host genetic factors controlling the composition of the plant microbiota and the extent to which plant genes affect associated microbial populations is currently unknown.

The impact of spray-induced gene silencing on cereal phyllosphere microbiota [PDF]
Environmental MicrobiomeBackground Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a major disease affecting cereal crops including wheat, barley, rye, oats and maize. Its predominant causal agent is the ascomycete fungus Fusarium graminearum, which infects the spikes and thereby reduces grain ...

Pivotal roles of phyllosphere microorganisms at the interface between plant functioning and atmospheric trace gas dynamics [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 The phyllosphere, which lato sensu consists in the aerial parts of plants, and therefore primarily, in the set of photosynthetic leaves, is one of the most prevalent microbial habitats on Earth.

Host species and temperature drive beech and Scots pine phyllosphere microbiota across European forests [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentTree-microbe interactions are essential for forest ecosystem functioning. Most plant–microbe research has focused on the rhizosphere, while composition of microbial communities in the phyllosphere remains underexplored.

Dominance of Ciliophora and Chlorophyta Among Phyllosphere Protists of Solanaceous Plants
Phytobiomes Journal, 2023 Phyllosphere microbiota play an important role in shaping plant health and function but most research has focused only on bacterial and fungal communities. As a result, little is known about the composition of diverse microeukaryotes in the phyllosphere,

Methanol utilizers of the rhizosphere and phyllosphere of a common grass and forb host species [PDF]
Environmental Microbiome, 2022 Background Managed grasslands are global sources of atmospheric methanol, which is one of the most abundant volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere and promotes oxidative capacity for tropospheric and stratospheric ozone depletion.

Season, irrigation, leaf age, and Escherichia coli inoculation influence the bacterial diversity in the lettuce phyllosphere. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The developmental and temporal succession patterns and disturbance responses of phyllosphere bacterial communities are largely unknown. These factors might influence the capacity of human pathogens to persist in association with those communities on ...
