As an important nonwood bioresource, fishscale bamboo (Phyllachora heterocladae Oliver) is widely distributed in the subtropical region of China. Rhombic-spot disease, caused by Neostagonosporella sichuanensis, is one of the most serious diseases that threatens fishscale bamboo health. However, there is limited knowledge about how rhombic-spot disease influences the diversity and structures of phyllosphere fungal communities. In this study, we investigated the phyllosphere fungal communities from stems, branches, and leaves of fishscale bamboo during a rhombic-spot disease outbreak using 18S rRNA sequencing. We found that only the phyllosphere fungal community from stems was significantly affected by pathogen invasion in terms of community richness, diversity, and structure. FUNGuild analysis revealed that the major classifications of phyllosphere fungi based on trophic modes in stems, branches, and leaves changed from symbiotroph-pathotroph, no obvious dominant trophic mode, and symbiotroph to saprotroph, saprotroph&ndash:pathotroph&ndash:symbiotroph, and saprotroph&ndash:symbiotroph, respectively, after pathogen invasion. The fungal community composition of the three tissues displayed significant differences at the genus level between healthy and diseased plants. The associations among fungal species in diseased samples showed more complex co-occurrence network structures than those of healthy samples. Taken together, our results highlight the importance of plant pathological conditions for the assembly of phyllosphere fungal communities in different tissues.
