Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Race 1 isolates were pathogenic on all seven grasses, with low symptom severity.
- Observation Three grass species were highly susceptible to G gt.
- Observation Four grass species inoculated with G gt showed no symptoms.
- Observation Andropogon gerardii was ubiquitous, connecting all studied species to it.
- Observation Three grasses were fairly common but specialized by environment.
- Observation Bouteloua curtipendula was uncommon but occurred in all environments.
- Observation Buchloë dactyloides and Bouteloua gracilis were uncommon and confined to uplands.
- Observation Pairwise co-occurrence among grasses was generally asymmetric.
- Mechanism Prairie and wheat ecosystems may share both pathogens.
