Leaf treatments with a protein-based resistance inducer partially modify phyllosphere microbial communities of grapevine
Protein derivatives and carbohydrates can stimulate plant growth, increase stress tolerance and activate plant defense mechanisms. However, these molecules can also act as a nutritional substrate for microbial communities living on the plant phyllosphere and possibly affect their biocontrol activity...
