Abstract
Our findings demonstrate the response patterns of bacterial and fungal communities in the Malus phyllosphere to rust fungus G. yamadae infection, and they also reveal how the phyllosphere microbiome changes with the expansion of lesions. We identified several metabolites whose relative abundance varied significantly with lesion expansion.
