Phyllosphere microbiome: Diversity and functions

Iqra Bashir et al.

Summary: The phyllosphere, as the largest and unique microbial habitat on Earth, harbors diverse microbial communities that play important roles in influencing plant hosts and surrounding environments. Significant progress has been made in recent years in understanding the diversity and functional interactions of phyllosphere microbiology, which is vital for developing strategies to manipulate these beneficial microbial communities.

An assessment of minimum sequence copy thresholds for identifying and reducing the prevalence of artefacts in dietary metabarcoding data

Lorna E. Drake et al.

Summary: Metabarcoding offers a powerful tool for studying biodiversity and trophic interactions, but the use of MSCTs lacks consensus, and further research is needed to determine best practices.

Fungal phylogeny and plant functional traits structure plant-rhizosphere fungi networks in a subtropical forest

Chunchao Zhu et al.

Summary: In this study, association networks between plant species and root-associated fungi in a subtropical forest were constructed, revealing strong modularity. The functional traits and phylogeny of both plants and fungi were linked to the modularity of the networks.

Mechanosensory trichome cells evoke a mechanical stimuli-induced immune response in Arabidopsis thaliana

Mamoru Matsumura et al.

Summary: Perceiving pathogen signals and environmental cues is crucial for plant immunity. This study reveals that trichomes in plants can sense external mechanical forces, such as raindrops, and induce the expression of defense-related genes through the propagation of intercellular calcium waves, providing early protection against microbial infections.

Shaping the leaf microbiota: plant-microbe-microbe interactions

Vasvi Chaudhry et al.

Summary: The aerial portion of plants, particularly the leaves, are inhabited by pathogenic and non-pathogenic microbes, which interact with the host plant and with each other to form complex microbial communities. Understanding these interactions is crucial for developing biotechnological applications such as plant-protective probiotics.

More diverse tree communities promote foliar fungal pathogen diversity, but decrease infestation rates per tree species, in a subtropical biodiversity experiment

Gemma Rutten et al.

Summary: The study found that different host tree species harbor different foliar fungal pathogens, leading to the highest fungal pathogen richness in more diverse forests. Meanwhile, the foliar fungal pathogen infestation rate for each tree species decreased with increasing tree richness in forests. Additionally, leaf traits can help better predict fungal pathogen richness and infestation, and phylogenetically closely related tree species harbor phylogenetically closely related foliar fungal pathogens.

Roles of leaf functional traits in fungal endophyte colonization: Potential implications for host-pathogen interactions

Marcia Gonzalez-Teuber et al.

Summary: Fungal endophytes are important components of leaf microbial communities and may provide additional defensive features within plant tissues. Leaf functional traits regulate the entry, colonization, and community composition of fungal endophytes in plants.

Home-field advantage of litter decomposition: from the phyllosphere to the soil

Nicolas Fanin et al.

Summary: Plants often benefit from specialized decomposer communities, known as the 'home-field advantage', which increase the breakdown of plant litter. When the phyllosphere communities are removed, the 'home-field advantage' effects are reduced. Priority effects and interactions between phyllosphere and soil organisms play a role in explaining the positive effects of the phyllosphere at home.

Cross-phytogroup assessment of foliar epiphytic mycobiomes

Ting Zhu et al.

Summary: The research assessed the epiphytic mycobiomes on leaf surfaces of 592 plant species in a botanical garden using high-throughput sequencing. The study found that ferns have higher fungal species diversity, stronger mutualistic fungal interactions, and a greater percentage of putative pathogens compared to gymnosperms and angiosperms. Plant taxonomic group, leaf side, and growing environment were significantly associated with the foliar epiphytic mycobiome, while the similarity of mycobiomes among plants was not directly related to the distance of the host evolutionary tree.

Plant-bacteria associations are phylogenetically structured in the phyllosphere

Genevieve Lajoie et al.

Summary: The study found that phylogenetically similar hosts and bacteria tend to have similar associations, and the evolutionary history of hosts and symbionts plays a key role in the distribution of bacteria among hosts. Early ecological changes in plant and bacterial phylogenies have been crucial for driving their contemporary associations, with bacterial functional genes playing a significant role in bacterial turnover among different plant hosts. Overall, host and bacterial traits and evolutionary histories have a major influence on their contemporary associations.

Plant functional traits involved in the assembly of canopy-recruit interactions

Antonio J. Perea et al.

Summary: The assembly of plant communities is strongly influenced by recruitment mechanisms, with traits of saplings and established plants playing a crucial role. While certain traits of plants affect recruitment, there is limited evidence supporting trait complementarity in the interaction between canopy and recruit species. Traits also impact seed arrival and soil properties, influencing species abundance in the sapling bank.

Sergei Polme et al.

Summary: The article introduces a database FungalTraits to facilitate functional assignments and ecological interpretation of fungi, discussing the challenges between molecular identification of fungal diversity and knowledge of functional traits. Through the involvement of expert knowledge and tools, researchers reannotated a large number of fungal and Stramenopila genera, summarizing them into 17 lifestyle-related traits suitable for environmental studies.
