Metagenomic analysis of the effects of plant- and yeast-based formulations on the grapevine leaf microbiome of cv. ‘Touriga Franca’ by Eliana Monteiro, Eliana Monteiro, Paula Baptista, Sofia Silva, Márcia Carvalho, Márcia Carvalho, Márcia Carvalho, Radek Bragança, Kieran J. Guinan, Neerakkal Sujeeth, Isabel Cortez, Isabel Cortez, Isabel Cortez, Berta Gonçalves, Berta Gonçalves, Berta Gonçalves, Isaura Castro, Isaura Castro, Isaura Castro

“…Conventional treatment (CT) showed the highest influence on fungal and bacterial composition, reducing the diversity of both. Some important fungal (Aureobasidium and Sporobolomyces) and bacterial (Pseudomonas and Sphingomonas) genera associated with the promotion of plant growth, health, and biocontrol were detected.DiscussionThese findings reinforce the potential of new treatments with putative fungicide effects to modulate the leaf microbiome, particularly bacterial communities, without disrupting the natural fungal balance. …”
