Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association A. philoxeroides had superior growth compared with A. sessilis.
- Intervention effect Cd exposure decreased leaf lesions in A. philoxeroides after artificial infection by the leaf pathogen.
- Intervention effect Cd exposure decreased leaf lesions in A. sessilis after artificial infection by the leaf pathogen.
- Association A. philoxeroides had fewer leaf lesions than A. sessilis after infection by the leaf pathogen.
- Mechanism The increased pathogen resistance of A. philoxeroides after Cd exposure could be attributed to direct toxic effects of Cd and to altered phyllosphere microbial composition.
- Observation A bacterial strain isolated from the phyllosphere had a strong antagonistic effect against the leaf pathogen.
