Abstract excerpt
Fungal endophytes of the genus Neotyphodium are common in temperate pasture grass species and confer both beneficial and deleterious agronomic characteristics to their hosts. The aim of this study was to develop molecular markers based on simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci for the identification and assessment of genetic diversity among Neotyphodium endophytes in grasses. Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from both...
