Warming reduces fungal endophyte dependency for establishment but amplifies stress-response gene expression in the Antarctic invader Poa annua
It is suggested that as Antarctic temperatures rise, P. annua may progressively decouple from its seed-borne fungal endophytes for establishment while retaining endophyte-amplified transcriptional responses to thermal and hydric stress.
