Phyllosphere microbes in foxtail millet primarily affect quality by modulating coloration and bitter compounds
In summary, the higher abundance of Curtobacterium and Pseudomonas in the panicles correlated with reduced bitter compounds and enhanced foxtail millet quality. This work provides new insights into the role of phyllosphere metabolites and microbiomes in determining crop quality.
