Does artificial snow production affect soil and vegetation of ski pistes? A review (2003, background): “The INA material consists of sterilised phytopathogenic bacteria ( Hirano & Upper 2000 ).”
The ecology of the phyllosphere: geographic and phylogenetic variability in the distribution of bacteria on tree leaves (2010, neutral): “The phyllosphere is a unique and dynamic habitat, with phyllosphere communities subjected to irregular, and sometimes relatively large, changes in temperature, UV radiation, relative humidity and leaf wetness (Hirano and Upper, 2000; Lindow and Brandl, 2003; Whipps et al., 2008).”
Microbiology and atmospheric processes: the role of biological particles in cloud physics (2007, neutral): “The general abundance on plants ofPseudomonas syringae and other INA bacteria is well established (see review by Hirano and Upper, 2000), as is the role of these bacteria in frost damage to crops, and in the winter survival of insects (e.g., Lee et al., 1996; Lindow, 1983).”
Microbiology of the Phyllosphere (2003, background): “Bacteria are by far the most numerous colonists of leaves, often being found in numbers averaging 10(6) to 10(7) cells/cm(2) (up to 10(8) cells/g) of leaf (1, 7, 41).”
The Hologenome Concept: Human, Animal and Plant Microbiota (2014, background): “Hirano and Upper (2000) proposed a model in which frost damage and lesion formation are unfortunate accidents of overpopulation that benefit neither the bacteria nor the plant.”
