  1. Note: The concentration and composition of metabolites were compared between the fungicide treatment and control groups using the one-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey’s test at a significance level of p < 0.05. Metabolites changed column showed the number of metabolites specifically (fungicide specific unique) and commonly regulated within the same mode of action group after treated by different fungicides. “n.a.” means not analysed
