Seed Transmission of Epichloë Endophytes in Lolium perenne Is Heavily Influenced by Host Genetics

Vertical transmission of symbiotic Epichloë endophytes from host grasses into progeny seed is the primary mechanism by which the next generation of plants is colonized. This process is often imperfect, resulting in endophyte-free seedlings which may have poor ecological fitness if the endophyte conf...
