Plant microbiome always used to be associated with various physiological attributes of the plant. I want to know, does it influence the quality of the produced fruit? Can it be a reason for a variation in quality attributes of a single variety grown in different ecological condition? So far everyone knows that, the varietal features with combination to the edaphic conditions of growing environment determines the fruit quality. Apart from this, is there something else to regulate fruit quality?
Greetings
If the microbes that exists on fruit surface is included by your question, then the answer is yes for sure.
It has been reported that some of these organisms can be considered as bio-control agents that can play a major role in post harvest life of fruit because of their antagonist characteristic against some of the major post harvest diseases.
maybe this isn't a quality improvement but it does extend storage life.

I hope I did understand the purpose of question correctly.
Thank you Mr Michael Alabboud for your view. Actually, my querry is related to the endophytic microbes in plants.
Nodoubt, your reply is also highly relevent to fruit quality enhancement. But if you are having any further info please share with me.
Thanks
well I think this review may fit your request. It's about the Potential use of endophytic bacteria as bio-fertilizer for banana production. you might check the references. I think it might help
