Host genotype shapes the foliar fungal microbiome of balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera).

Host genotype shapes the foliar fungal microbiome of balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera).

Foliar fungal communities of plants are diverse and ubiquitous. In grasses endophytes may increase host fitness; in trees, their ecological roles are poorly understood. We investigated whether the genotype of the host tree influences community structure of foliar fungi. We sampled leaves from genoty...
