Abstract
The microbiota of maize leaves can be beneficial or detrimental to the host. Foliar diseases are the most obvious detrimental impact of the leaf microbiome, though more subtle effects of the normal (nondisease) community are an active area of research. This protocol describes two specific methodologies to sample the maize leaf microbiome: one sampling the surface (epiphyte) microbiome and one sampling the interior (endophyte) microbiome. Each method begins with collected leaf tissue and finishes with a cell suspension suitable for either isolating live microbes or extracting DNA for sequencing.
玉米叶片上的微生物群对宿主有利有弊。叶面病害是叶片微生物群最明显的有害影响,但正常(非病害)群落更微妙的影响也是一个活跃的研究领域。本方案介绍了两种具体的玉米叶片微生物群采样方法:一种是表面(附生)微生物群采样,另一种是内部(内生)微生物群采样。每种方法都从采集叶片组织开始,最后得到适合分离活微生物或提取 DNA 进行测序的细胞悬浮液。
