Fig. 6: Changes in surface and internal bacteria and fungi during the leaf senescence of rubber tree.
From: Assembly and maintenance of phyllosphere microbial diversity during rubber tree leaf senescence
A The percentage of epiphytic (endophytic) microorganisms originated from the leaf interior (surface). B More bacteria are present on the leaf surface and inside the yellow leaf, indicating yellow leaves are more susceptible to bacteria invasion compared to green in yellow leaves.
