Abstract

The phyllosphere harbors diverse microbial communities that influence ecosystem functioning. Emerging evidence suggests that plants impaired in genetic networks harbor an altered microbiome and develop dysbiosis in the phyllosphere, which pinpoints plant genetics as a key driver of the phyllosphere microbiome assembly and links the phyllosphere microbiome to plant health.

Keywords: dysbiosis; ecosystem; microbiome; phyllosphere; plant health.
