The aerial portion of a plant, namely the leaf, is inhabited by pathogenic and non-pathogenic
microbes. The leaf's physical and chemical properties, combined with fluctuating and often …

Pesticides are essential to modern human production activities, particularly those increasing
global food production and quality; however, corresponding pesticide contamination is …

Postharvest biological control agents as a viable alternative to the use of synthetic chemicals
have been the focus of considerable research for the last 30 years by many scientists and …

Biocontrol research has long been focused on the study of single strains of biocontrol agents
(BCAs) and on their interaction with pathogens and host plants. Further focus on plant …

The developmental and temporal succession patterns and disturbance responses of
phyllosphere bacterial communities are largely unknown. These factors might influence the …

The phyllosphere is colonized by complex microbial communities, which are adapted to the
harsh habitat. Although the role and ecology of nonpathogenic microorganisms of the …

Recent work has shown that the rhizospheric and phyllospheric microbiomes of plants are
composed of highly diverse microbial species. Though the information pertaining to the …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a natural pathogen of different invertebrates, primarily insects, is
widely used as a biological control agent. While Bt-based preparations are claimed to be …

The phyllosphere supports a tremendous diversity of microbes, which have the potential to
influence plant biogeography and ecosystem function. Although biocontrol agents (BCAs) …
