: All the plant materials used in the present study were grown and collected according to institutional and national guidelines. No field study was included in this study. Apple ‘Fuji’ used in this study is a common fruit-tree cultivar cultured worldwide and <i>Nicotiana benthamiana</i> is a widely used model plant species for research of plant-pathogen interactions. Both plant materials were originally obtained via a commercial approach and are not the Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, thus no voucher specimen of this material has been deposited in a publicly available herbarium.
