The plant microbiomes play important role in plant growth promotion and soil fertility for
sustainable agriculture. Plant and soil are valuable natural resource harbouring hotspots of …

The surface of plant leaves, or the phyllosphere, harbors hyperdiverse microbial
communities. These communities mediate foliar functional traits, influence plant fitness, and …

Perennial grasses are promising feedstocks for biofuel production, with potential for
leveraging their native microbiomes to increase their productivity and resilience to …

Much research into food‐borne human pathogens has focused on transmission from foods
of animal origin. However, recent investigations have identified fruits and vegetables are the …

The fungal genus Fusarium causes several diseases in cereals, including Fusarium head
blight (FHB). A number of Fusarium species are involved in disease development and …

The above-ground parts of plants are normally colonized by a variety of bacteria, yeasts, and
fungi. While a few microbial species can be isolated from within plant tissues, many more …

Aerial plant surfaces represent the largest biological interface on Earth and provide
essential services as sites of carbon dioxide fixation, molecular oxygen release, and primary …

Large populations of bacteria live on leaf surfaces and these phyllosphere bacteria can
have important effects on plant health. However, we currently have a limited understanding …

Plants are colonized by various microorganisms in natural environments. While many
studies have demonstrated key roles of the rhizosphere microbiota in regulating biological …

The extremely large number of leaves produced by terrestrial and aquatic plants provide
habitats for colonization by a diversity of microorganisms. This review focuses on the …
