Abstract Background Plants live with diverse microbial communities which profoundly affect multiple facets of host performance, but if and how development impacts the assembly, functions interactions crop microbiomes are poorly understood. Here we examined both bacterial fungal across soils, epiphytic endophytic niches leaf root, plastic fake plant (representing environment-originating microbes...

Here, we report the first draft whole-genome sequence of Pseudomonas fluorescens strain EK007-RG4, which was isolated from the phylloplane of a pear tree. P. fluorescens EK007-RG4 displays strong antagonism against Erwinia amylovora, the causal agent for fire blight disease, in addition to several other pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria.

Phylloplane fungi of Chlorophytum tuberosum were screened for their antagonistic activities against Colletotrichum dematium in vitro. Volatiles produced from the cultures of Trichoderma harzianum ISO-1 showed maximum inhibition of mycelial growth of C.dematium followed by T. piluliferum, T. harzianum ISO-2 and Aspergillus niger,

The phylloplane is a term for the aboveground surface of plants and usually refers to the external surface of plant leaves, a dominant aerial part of plant. It is known to be colonized by a large number of microorganisms including bacteria, yeasts and fungi. Yeasts in phylloplane belong to either phylum Ascomycota or phylum Basidiomycota. In this study diversity of yeasts in the external surfac...

Phylloplane fungi is a non-pathogenic on the leaf surface that can be used to control plant diseases caused by pathogens. One of most damaging banana fusarium wilt, pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Cubense (Foc). Mangrove Rhizophora apiculate widely distributed and high-diversity area where microorganisms produce anti-microbial compounds flourish. This as biological agent. study aims determ...

Novel variants of Bacillus thuringiensis were isolated from the phylloplane of deciduous and conifer trees as well as of other plants. These isolates displayed a range of toxicity towards Trichoplusia ni. Immunoblot and toxin protein analysis indicate that these strains included representatives of the three principal B. thuringiensis pathotypes active against larvae of the orders Lepidoptera, D...

The plant surface, which is representative of the phylloplane and rhizoplane, is a characteristic habitat for microorganisms. In this review, the ecological roles of phytoepiphytic bacteria will be described. The phylloplane and rhizoplane, which are adjacent to the atmosphere and soil sphere respectively, accumulate topically and/or selectively release secondary metabolites that are specific t...
