Plant functional traits and phylogenetic relatedness explain variation in associations with root fungal endophytes in an extreme arid environment

Since root endophytes may ameliorate drought stress, understanding which plants associate with endophytes is important, especially in arid ecosystems. Here, the root endophytes were characterized of 42 plants from an arid region of Argentina. Colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and da...
