Genomic insights into adaptative traits of phyllosphere yeasts
This study represents a significant advancement in our understanding of the diverse and largely unknown genomic traits of environmental yeasts and their adaptation to life in the phyllosphere environment. Our findings highlight their untapped functional potential for biotechnological applications in sustainable crop production.
