Abstract:

We conducted a meta-analysis of 28 studies on the interactions between plant microbes and leaf microbiota between June 2021 and May 2022. Pathogenic and non-pathogenic microflora coexists in the aerial portion of a plant, called the leaf. The physical and chemical properties of the leaf, with fluctuating and often complex ecological factors, create surfaces that necessitate a high level of adaptation for microbial colonization. As a result, specific interactive mechanisms for establishing a plant leaf niche have evolved. Little is known about the role of the host immune response in non-pathogenic microbiota colonization of the phyllosphere. These microbes can activate basal plant defences and benefit the host by priming for increased resistance to pathogens. Extra- or intracellular receptors recognise microbial signals in most diseaseresistant responses. It is unclear how these interactions shape leaf microbe communities because they are species specific. Microbe-microbe relationships are also crucial in shaping leaf communities in natural habitats. Plant colonisers have created host manipulation or direct antagonistic strategies to combat rivals and protect resources. Microbes colonising the phyllosphere react to biotic and abiotic changes, making them valuable sources of protective and adaptive traits. Transferring current knowledge to biotechnological applications, such as plantprotective probiotics, requires understanding the intricate regulatory hostmicrobe-microbe networks.
