Abstract

The phyllosphere is associated with a diverse community of microorganisms. The association of phyllosphere microbes and host plant affects the both health and function of plant. The phyllosphere supports a huge diversity of microbes. Phyllospheric microbes mostly include bacteria and fungi, work as mutualists and promote the plant growth and make them tolerant to various environmental stresses. They use the plant as habitat for their own growth and reproduction. The little informations are known about the colonization of pathogenic and beneficial bacteria in the phyllosphere across the whole plant life-cycle which limits our abilities to understand the role of phyllospheric microbes in plant performance. The phyllosphere is actually the habitat of microbes provided by the aboveground parts of plants. It supports a large and complex microbial community on global scale. This review covers all information about the diversity, source, nature and composition of microbial life in phyllosphere.
