Microbiome Variation Across Two Hemlock Species With Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Infestation

FRONTIERS IN MICROBIOLOGY, 11.

author keywords: 16S rRNA; epiphyte; ITS; microbial ecology; plant-microbe interactions; plant pathology; phyllosphere; rhizosphere
TL;DR: This work characterized the needle, branch, root, and rhizosphere microbiome of two hemlock species, Tsuga canadensis and T. sieboldii, that displayed low and high levels of HWA populations and found that both archaeal/bacterial and fungal needle communities, as well as the archaealing/b bacterial branch and root communities, varied in composition in both hemlak species relative to HWA population levels.
