A synthetic community approach reveals plant genotypes affecting the phyllosphere microbiota.

The identity of plant host genetic factors controlling the composition of the plant microbiota and the extent to which plant genes affect associated microbial populations is currently unknown. Here, we use a candidate gene approach to investigate host effects on the phyllosphere community compositio...
