Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Mango flowers and fruitlets had significantly less diverse microbial communities than leaves.
- Observation Bacterial and fungal microbiota compositions of mango leaves, flowers and fruitlets were distinct from one another.
- Observation Mango flowers were characterized by a high abundance of the bacterial family Erwiniaceae.
- Observation Mango fruitlets were characterized by a high abundance of the bacterial family Acetobacteraceae.
- Observation Fungal families were less differentiated among organs; only Didymellaceae and Symmetrosporaceae showed leaf-specific enrichment relative to flowers and fruitlets.
- Observation The core bacterial taxa shared across the three phyllosphere organs were Pseudomonas and Sphingomonas.
- Observation The core fungal genera were Alternaria, Aureobasidium, Cladosporium, Epicoccum, Fusarium, Hannaella, Nectria, Neodidymella and Vishniacozyma.
- Mechanism Mango phyllosphere bacterial and fungal communities were established by parallel selection of the microbiota rather than consecutive selection.
- Observation Microbial taxa in the mango phyllosphere were associated with functions such as chemoheterotrophy, fermentation, aromatic compound degradation, plant pathogens, endophytes and saprotrophs.
