Phyllosphere Ecology

Past, Present, and Future

  • Chapter
Aerial Plant Surface Microbiology

Abstract

In a session at the 6th International Symposium on the Microbiology of Aerial Plant Parts (from which this book issues), all participants were asked to consider three things: 1) the most important successes in phyllosphere research to date (that is, facts or subject matter considered to be known or largely known); 2) the most important areas for research over the next five years; and 3) creative visions for the future. Discussions were held in multiple small groups, each under the direction of a moderator, and subsequently in an assembled body.
