Discovering the dynamics of peach fruit mycobiome throughout fruit development season by high-throughput sequencing.

ABSTRACT: The mycobiome is comprised of a rich array of fungal species that compete for resources, and species diversity and prevalence exhibit a dynamic structure under the influence of many factors. While the host fruit develops, the prevalence and the arrangement of fungal species in this mycobiome also change, forming a dynamic microenvironment. In this study, fungal diversity on peach fruit surfaces at different developmental stages have been determined to better understand the changes in fungal diversity and disease occurrence by using metabarcoding of the full ITS region and processing the obtained high-throughput sequencing data with various bioinformatic analyses. It has been found that fungal diversity in early developmental stages is higher, and the diversity declines as the fruit matures
