Many grasses are infected by systemic fungal endophytes that occur in aboveground plant tissues. Both aboveground #EndophyticFungi and belowground #SoilMicrobes can influence #PlantGrowth. Yaobing Qu et al. investigated whether the role of aboveground #Epichloë #Endophytes in the growth and competitive ability of the host grasses was influenced by soil microbes.
