Abstract:
... AIMS: Root hemiparasite infection is considered a potential biotic stress that affects the growth of cool-season grasses, and the damage caused by a hemiparasitic plant to host grasses is largely determined by the density of the hemiparasite. Epichloë endophytes have been shown to be mutualistic symbionts of cool-season grasses under most environmental conditions. Although cool-season grasses can ...
