Different lettuce genotypes supported significantly different phyllosphere fungal
communities. Phyllosphere fungal diversity was low and fungi fell into five similarity groups …

Lichens are symbiotic organisms containing diverse microorganisms. Endolichenic fungi
(ELF) are one of the inhabitants living in lichen thalli, and have potential ecological and …

Plants are colonized by diverse fungal and viral communities that influence their growth and
survival as well as ecosystem functioning. Viruses interact with both plants and the fungi …

Background Dispersal events between habitat patches in a landscape mosaic can structure
ecological communities and influence the functioning of agrosystems. Here we investigated …

Various microorganisms colonize plant tissues either through epiphytic (surface), endophytic
(inside), or rhizospheric association. The diverse phyllosphere microbiomes interact with …

Altitudinal gradients provide valuable information about the effects of environmental
variables on changes in species richness and composition as well as the distribution of …

Fungi are known to play key roles in ecologically important biogeochemical cycles and food
webs. Most knowledge of environmental groups of fungi comes from terrestrial …

The species of the genus Saccharomyces are commonly inhabiting tree bark and the
surrounding soil, but their abundance have likely been underestimated due to biases in …

The phyllosphere refers to the habitat provided by the aboveground parts of plants and on a
global scale supports a large and complex microbial community. Microbial interactions in the …

The study of morphological and physiological responses of shrubs to climate is crucial for
the understanding of future scenarios regarding climate change. In this light, studying shrub …
