Department of Biology, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah 84112, USA
Mycologia 103:247-60. 2011..Genotype and phylogenetic analyses suggest that these endophytic fungi are predominantly host generalists, shared not only among distinctive lineages of Poaceae but also with non-grass plants at the same site...

Mycol Res 112:331-44. 2008..Together, our data show that not only do the abundance, diversity, and taxonomic composition of endophyte communities differ as a function of host identity and locality, but that host affinities of those communities are variable as well...

Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 100:15649-54. 2003..Together, these data demonstrate the capacity of diverse, horizontally transmitted endophytes of woody angiosperms to play an important but previously unappreciated role in host defense...
