Resistance to Dutch elm disease reduces presence of xylem endophytic fungi in Elms (Ulmus spp.).

Resistance to Dutch elm disease reduces presence of xylem endophytic fungi in Elms (Ulmus spp.).

Efforts to introduce pathogen resistance into landscape tree species by breeding may have unintended consequences for fungal diversity. To address this issue, we compared the frequency and diversity of endophytic fungi and defensive phenolic metabolites in elm (Ulmus spp.) trees with genotypes known...
