Genetic variation in horizontally transmitted fungal endophytes of pine needles reveals population structure in cryptic species.

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: • PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Fungal endophytes comprise one of the most ubiquitous groups of plant symbionts, inhabiting healthy leaves and stems of all major lineages of plants. Together, they comprise immense species richness, but little is known about the fundamental processes that generate their diversity. Exploration of their population structure is needed, especially with regard to geographic...
