2024-09-10
Abstract excerpt
Fresh vegetables harbor diverse microorganisms on leaf surfaces, yet their viral communities remain unexplored. We investigated the diversity and ecology of phyllosphere viromes of six leafy green vegetables using virus-like particle (VLP) enrichment and shotgun metagenome sequencing. On average, 9.2 × 10 7 viruses were present per gram of leaf tissue. The majority (93.1 ± 6.2%) of these viruses were taxonomicall...
