Abstract excerpt
Host specialization is a key process in ecological divergence and speciation of plant-associated fungi. The underlying determinants of host specialization are generally poorly understood, especially in endophytes, which constitute one of the most abundant components of the plant microbiome. We addressed the genetic basis of host specialization in two sympatric subspecies of grass-endophytic fungi from the...
