Fungal endophytes affecting the health and recovery of Long’s Braya (Braya longii) and Fernald’s Braya (Braya fernaldii), endangered endemic species of Newfoundland, Canada
Abstract:Long’s (Braya longii) and Fernald’s (B. fernaldii) Braya are endemic to the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland, Canada. These herbaceous perennials are endangered due to habitat loss and degradation, as well as ongoing threats from fungal infections and insect herbivory.

This study was initiated to describe the associated fungal community and infection symptoms. Plant tissues from three … Show more
