Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Ophiostoma piceae mycelium was rich in amino acids, sugars and B vitamins.
- Observation Geosmithia sp. F1 mycelium was rich in amino acids, sugars and B vitamins.
- Observation Ophiostoma piceae depleted several defenses from fir phloem medium.
- Observation Geosmithia sp. F1 depleted several defenses from fir phloem medium.
- Observation O. piceae strongly depleted chemical defenses, similarly to Endoconidiophora polonica.
- Observation Beetle-vectored non-mutualistic fungi had similar capacities to deplete fir defense compounds.
- Observation Non-fir-associated fungi were less effective at reducing phloem-medium defense concentrations.
- Mechanism The authors inferred that nutritious fungal mycelium and defense depletion facilitate beetle colonization of silver fir phloem.
