Flowers at times host abundant and specialized communities of bacteria and fungi that influence floral phenotypes and interactions with pollinators. Ecological processes drive variation in microbial abundance and composition at multiple scales, including among plant species, among flower tissues, and among flowers on the same plant.
Here, we review the recent literature concerning community composition and diversity in the flower microbiota, the spatial and temporal community dynamics, and the interactions between flower microbes, their plant hosts, and pollinators.
The study of the association of plants with microorganisms precedes that of the animal and human microbiomes, notably the roles of microbes in nitrogen and phosphorus uptake. The most notable examples are plant root - arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and legume-rhizobial symbioses , both of which greatly influence the ability of roots to uptake ...
2 lis 2020 · Aims To identify whether microorganisms isolated from blueberry flowers can inhibit the growth of Colletotrichum, an opportunistic plant pathogen that infects flowers and threatens yields,...
1 wrz 2019 · Her group explores the diversity and functioning of plant microbiota by applying a range of molecular approaches, interaction modes between plants and model bacteria, colonization behaviour of endophytes as well as various application technologies for biocontrol and crop enhancement applications.
1 lut 2022 · The close interaction between plants and their microbiotas has raised fundamental questions about plant responses to these microbes and the identity of the main factors driving microbiota structure, diversity, and function in bulk soil, in the rhizosphere, and in the plant organs.
20 mar 2019 · The members of plant microbiome comprise beneficial, neutral or pathogenic microorganisms. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) can promote plant growth by either direct or indirect mechanisms.
