Background Plants can retain atmospheric particulate matter (PM) through their unique foliar
microstructures, which has a profound impact on the phyllosphere microbial communities …

Trees can effectively capture airborne particles and improve air quality. However, the
specific response of phyllosphere microbiome (PMo) in different plant species to particulate …

Particulate matter (PM) pollution poses a significant risk to many ecosystems; as sessile
organisms, plants are at particular risk from PM pollution since they cannot move away from …

The phyllosphere is populated by numerous microorganisms. Microbes from the wider
environment, ie, air and soil, are considered key contributors to phyllosphere microbial …

Phyllosphere bacteria are an important component of environmental microbial communities
and are closely related to plant health and ecosystem stability. However, the relationships …

The phyllosphere is a fluctuant micro-environment habitat that harbors diverse microbial
communities that have the potential to influence plant growth through their effect on host …

Leaves harbor distinct microbial communities that can have an important impact on plant
health and microbial ecosystems worldwide. Nevertheless, the ecological processes that …

The analysis of phyllosphere microbiomes traditionally relied on DNA extracted from whole
leaves. To investigate the microbial communities on the adaxial (upper) and abaxial (lower) …

The characteristics of particles and microorganisms on leaf surfaces have great significance
for the near-surface environment and ecology. Here, fresh leaves of holly and Ligustrum …

Leaf-associated microbial communities can promote plant health and resistance to biotic
and abiotic stresses. However, the importance of environmental cues in the assembly of the …
