Mapping phyllosphere microbiota interactions in planta to establish genotype-phenotype relationships.

Abstract excerpt

Host-associated microbiomes harbour hundreds of bacterial species that co-occur, creating the opportunity for manifold bacteria-bacteria interactions, which in turn contribute to the overall community structure. The mechanisms that underlie this self-organization among bacteria remain largely elusive. Here, we studied bacterial interactions in the phyllosphere microbiota. We screened for microbial interactions in...
