R. Bhandari, A. Sanz-Saez, C. Leisner, N. Potnis
The paper examines how biotic and abiotic stresses affect phyllosphere microbial communities in pepper plants, finding that elevated ozone alters microbial structure in resistant cultivars but not susceptible ones, and combined stress mimics pathogen effects.
