From 10/2006 to 08/2007Principal Investigator: Gerhard Rambold
Staff: Martina Melcher
In this project, researchers Derek Peršoh, Martina Melcher, and Gerhard Rambold investigated fungal communities associated with both the hemiparasitic mistletoe Viscum album ssp. austriacum and its host tree Pinus sylvestris. This was the first study to examine how endophytic ascomycetes are distributed between host and parasitic plant tissues.
The results showed that fungal community composition is more strongly influenced by plant organ and tissue type than by host species identity. Notably, the wood tissues of both Viscum and Pinus harbored overlapping fungal assemblages, highlighting
