Male and female Silene latifolia plants differ in per-contact risk of infection by a sexually transmitted disease

2001-02-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Behavioural, physiological or immunological constraints often render one sex more susceptible to parasites, thereby potentially generating sex-specific trade-offs between traits associated with infection risk and other life-history characters. 2. The fungal pathogen Microbotryum violaceum systemically infects the dioecious plant Silene latifolia when pollinators deposit fungal spores on the flowers of healthy p...
