“…The apple ( Malus pumila M.) is an economically significant fruit crop, the popularity of which is attributed to the fruit’s desirable flavor, sugar-acid content, metabolites, aroma, and overall texture and palatability. Additionally, apples are a rich source of nutrients, including antioxidants, vitamins, and dietary fiber [ 1 ]. As a result, apples are widely enjoyed, with 83 million tons consumed globally.…”

Herein, we explored the potential of the apple's core microbiota for biological control of Erwinia amylovora , which causes fire blight disease, and analyzed the structure of the apple's bacterial community across different tissues and seasons. Network analysis results showed distinct differences in bacterial community composition between the endosphere and rhizosphere of healthy apples, and eight taxa were identified as negatively correlated with E. amylovora , indicating their potential key role in a new control strategy against the pathogen. This study highlights the critical role of the apple's bacterial community in disease control and provides a new direction for future research in apple production. In addition, the findings suggest that using the composition of the apple's core taxa as a biological control strategy could be an effective alternative to traditional chemical control methods, which have been proven futile and environmentally harmful.
