Abstract
Evaluates the role of pathogen infection by Epichloe glyceriae on clonal growth and development of the host plant, Glyceria striata. Pathogen infection directly altered host development by increasing clonal growth with longer stolons and decreasing the number of tillers produced.Suggested Citation
