The Cultured Microbiome of Pollinated Maize Silks Shifts after Infection with <i>Fusarium graminearum</i> and Varies by Distance from the Site of Pathogen Inoculation

The Cultured Microbiome of Pollinated Maize Silks Shifts after Infection with <i>Fusarium graminearum</i> and Varies by Distance from the Site of Pathogen Inoculation

Styles transmit pollen-derived sperm nuclei from pollen to ovules, but also transmit environmental pathogens. The microbiomes of styles are likely important for reproduction/disease, yet few studies exist. Whether style microbiome compositions are spatially responsive to pathogens is unknown. The ma...
