Interactions Among Fungicides, Pathogens, Yeasts, and Nutrients in the Phyllosphere

  • Conference paper
Microbial Ecology of Leaves

Part of the book series: Brock/Springer Series in Contemporary Bioscience ((BROCK/SPRINGER))

Abstract

The phyllosphere is colonized by various saprophytic and pathogenic microorganisms. In temperate climate zones, the saprophytes can be divided into several groups, i.e., pink and white yeasts (mainly Sporobolomyces and Cryptococcus spp., respectively), yeastlike fungi (e.g., Aureobasidium spp.), filamentous fungi (e.g., Cladosporium spp.), and bacteria. In general, newly expanded leaves and flowers are first colonized by single-cell organisms like yeasts and bacteria, while populations of fungi such as Cladosporium spp., Alternaria spp. and Aureobasidium spp. increase as the leaves grow older (Blakeman, 1985).

The author gratefully acknowledges that much of the work described in this paper was done with financial support by the Foundation for Biological Research, which is subsidized by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research. Thanks also are expressed to Dr. N.J. Fokkema and Professors R. Rabbinge and B. Schippers for critical discussions and to Hans van Pelt and Jos Raaijmakers for practical assistance.
