  abstract = {{P}lant-associated microorganisms have been shown to aid plants in coping with drought. {H}owever, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood and there is uncertainty regarding which microbial taxa and functions are mostly involved. {W}e explored these issues in {N}eotropical rainforests and identified foliar microorganisms that may play a role in drought tolerance of trees. {O}ur objectives were to (i) test the relationship between drought tolerance traits in {N}eotropical trees and the diversity and composition of their foliar fungal and bacterial communities and (ii) identify leaf microbial taxa positively or negatively associated with drought tolerance traits. {O}ur results showed that the composition of leaf fungal communities but not bacterial communities was related to drought tolerance. {W}e identified 27 fungal amplicon sequence variants whose relative abundance covaried with drought tolerance traits. {M}ost variants were assigned to fungal clades often described as plant pathogens and increased in abundance with drought susceptibility. {T}his greater relative abundance of leaf pathogens in the most drought-susceptible trees might increase their vulnerability to climate change. {M}oreover, we identified the {S}trelitziana and {O}chroconis fungal genera as potential candidates for future culture-dependent studies aimed at understanding and improving drought tolerance in {N}eotropical forests.},
