Species and organ specificity of fungal endophytes in herbaceous grassland plants (2012, background): “Once again, this is an area in which remarkably little research has been conducted, although it is known that plant genotype plays a role in determining the endophyte community in trees (Bailey et al. 2005).”
Plant traits and taxonomy drive host associations in tropical phyllosphere fungal communities1 (2014, background): “Although host traits are rarely incorporated into studies of plant-associated fungal communities, endophyte abundance in the stems of cottonwoods was found to be negatively affected by the concentration of tannins (Bailey et al. 2005), suggesting that chemical differences among hosts can alter patte”
Endophytic fungi in European aspen (Populus tremula) leaves—diversity, detection, and a suggested correlation with herbivory resistance (2010, background): “For example, endophyte and herbivore communities on cottonwood hybrids are associated with clonespecific levels of condensed tannins (Bailey et al. 2005).”
Plant secondary metabolites: a key driver of litter decomposition and soil nutrient cycling (2016, background): “…differences in tannin content seemed to drive the ‘phenotypes’ of many communities, such as arthropods living in the tree canopies (Whitham et al. 2006), endophytic fungi (Bailey et al. 2005) and aquatic macro-invertebrates that consume poplar litter in nearby water courses (LeRoy et al. 2006).”
Hidden fungi, emergent properties: endophytes and microbiomes. (2011, background): “Differences among progeny of interspecific hybrids of Populus in relationships with endophytes (15) and in endophytes among leaves on a single tree (98) suggest that plants may also have unique microbiomes, probably at the level of cultivars, if not at the level of individuals.”
