Rapid and sustained differentiation of disease-suppressive phyllosphere microbiomes in tomato following experimental microbiome selection
Taxonomic richness and evenness were low within samples, with clustering occurring for suppressive or non-suppressive microbiomes. The relative abundance of genes associated with antagonism was higher for disease-suppressive phyllosphere microbiomes. This work is an important step towards understanding the microbe-microbe interactions within disease-suppressive phyllosphere communities.
