Introduction : the grass-endophyte symbiosis -- Effects of endophytes on their hosts -- Endophytes and host-plant herbivore relationships -- Genotypic specificity of grass-endophyte interactions -- Evolutionary ecology of grass-endophyte interactions -- Community and ecosystem consequences of grass endophytes -- Future directions
Summary
Endophytic fungi are common in plants, yet the nature of their interactions with host plants, and how these interactions cascade upward to communities is largely unknown. This book synthesizes existing studies of endophyte-grass symbioses within the context of modern ecological and evolutionary concepts
