Unravelling the microbiome of wild flowering plants: a comparative study of leaves and flowers in alpine ecosystems
This study provides novel insights into the specific microbiome of wild flowering plants, highlighting adaptations to local environments and plant-microbe coevolution. The observed specificity indicates a potential role in plant health and resilience, which is crucial for predicting how microbiomes respond to changing environments, ultimately aiding in the conservation of natural ecosystems facing climate change pressures.
