This is a departure for the Bernhardt/Meier lab in two ways. It's the first wind-pollinated species analyzed under our Zeiss Axioscope. Second, note how a fungus can attack pollen grains while they cling to a stigma. There are probably plenty of other examples in animal-pollinated systems but we have not explored them. After all, plenty of flower-visiting insects carry fungus spores and we've wondered, in a previous paper, if bees are carrying the fungal spores that ultimately weaken Asclepias meadii (see below) and stop individual plants from making seeds? <div><br></div><div><p style="margin:0px;font-size:8px;line-height:normal;font-family:times"><br></p><div><p style="margin:0px;font-size:8px;line-height:normal;font-family:times">Brown GK, J Herrera, P Bernhardt,REdens-Meier 2015 Potential fungal</p>
