Evaluating fungal pathogen resistance across the leaf economics spectrum using the generalist fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Abstract Leaf traits vary widely among plant species, correlating with leaf economics and growth-defense trade-offs. However, the relationship between trait variation and pathogen resistance remains unexplored. Here, we introduce a novel experimental approach to quantitatively assess pathogen resist...
