Characterization of Foliar Fungal Endophyte Communities from White Pine Blister Rust Resistant and Susceptible Pinus flexilis in Natural Stands in the Southern Rocky Mountains

Fungal endophytic communities in needles of field-grown Pinus flexilis previously inferred to carry major gene resistance (R) to white pine blister rust (WPBR) or to lack it (S) were surveyed to identify unique microbes that may be recruited by WPBR-resistant genotypes.Resistant and susceptible trees were sampled in each of 11 P.flexilis population
