Evolutionary ecology of plant diseases in natural ecosystems.

Annual review of phytopathology - 1 Jan 2002

Gilbert Gregory S

Abstract excerpt

Plant pathogens cause mortality and reduce fecundity of individual plants, drive host population dynamics, and affect the structure and composition of natural plant communities. Pathogens are responsible for both numerical changes in host populations and evolutionary changes through selection for resistant genotypes. Linking such ecological and evolutionary dynamics has been the focus of a growing body of...
