Abstract Microbiome homeostasis is crucial for host health and ecosystem function, yet the molecular and ecological mechanisms underlying community assembly and stability remain elusive. Here we uncover a conserved yeast–oomycete association that promotes their coexistence in the leaf microbiome.
Abstract Plant microbiome assembly is modulated via filtering by the host plant and local environment as well as stochastic processes like microbial dispersal. Lotus corniculatus in natural populations that are continuously exposed to natural perturbations and microbial sources is an ideal plant model system to study the ecological processes that structure the distinct yet overlapping microbial communities in plant organs.
