Good and bad lettuce leaf microbes? Unravelling the genetic architecture of the microbiome to inform plant breeding for enhanced food safety and reduced food waste
2021-08-09
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Lettuce is a high value food crop, consumed raw around the world. Engineering of the leaf microbiome could provide significant benefits for enhanced crop yield and stress resistance and help to reduce food waste caused by microbial spoilage. Lettuce leaves also act as a vector for human pathogens, implicated in several high-profile food-borne disease outbreaks. Since host genotype helps determin...
