Gregory P. Cheplick, Stanley Faeth

Ecology and Evolution of the Grass-Endophyte Symbiosis (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Endophytic fungi are common and diverse in plants, yet the nature of their interactions with host plants, and how these interactions cascade upward to communities and ecosystems are largely unknown. This book synthesizes existing studies of endophyte-grass symbioses within the context of modern ecological and evolutionary concepts.
