Journal ArticleDOI
Genotype, environment, and genotype by environment interactions determine quantitative resistance to leaf rust (Coleosporium asterum) in Euthamia graminifolia (Asteraceae).
TL;DR: It is concluded that quantitative resistance level can evolve in this system and shown how logistic analysis (relative to local pathogen density) can provide insight into the mechanism(s) responsible for G × E interactions in infection intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecology of Floristic Quality Assessment: testing for correlations between coefficients of conservatism, species traits and mycorrhizal responsiveness
TL;DR: This work grew seedlings of 54 plant species in a greenhouse and measured traits that are related to life history trade-offs that were correlated with C values, indicating that coefficients of conservatism are closely linked to a plant species' life history strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cooperative virulence plasmid imposes a high fitness cost under conditions that induce pathogenesis
TL;DR: The virulence-plasmid-dependent costs the authors demonstrate constitute costs of cooperation typically associated with the ability to garner the benefits of cooperation, and Interestingly, genotypes that harbour derived opine catabolic plasmids minimize this trade-off, and are thus able to freeload upon the pathogenesis initiated by other individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil microbiome mediates positive plant diversity-productivity relationships in late successional grassland species

TL;DR: It is found that productivity increased with plant richness in diverse soil communities, but not with low-diversity mixtures of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi or in pasteurised soils.
