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 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 …

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 …

Microbial entry into host tissue is a critical first step in causing infection in animals and
plants. In plants, it has been assumed that microscopic surface openings, such as stomata …

The phyllosphere referred to the total aerial plant surfaces (above-ground portions), as
habitat for microorganisms. Microorganisms establish compositionally complex communities …

Endophytic and epiphytic bacteria were isolated from two soybean cultivars (Foscarin and
Cristalina). Significant differences were observed in bacterial population densities in relation …

Pathogen entry into host tissue is a critical first step in causing infection. For foliar bacterial
plant pathogens, natural surface openings, such as stomata, are important entry sites …

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

We report here the construction, characterization, and application of a bacterial bioreporter
for fructose and sucrose that was designed to monitor the availability of these sugars to …

Aerial plant surfaces harbor large numbers of microbes, some of which are deleterious to
plants whereas others are benign or beneficial. Commercial formulations of bacteria …
