The relationship between the proportions of annual and perennial species infected as the result of inoculation with either a single or a combined mixture of Microbotryum species. Proportion of diseased individuals is given for five perennial (open triangles) and eight annual (closed circles) Silene species. Plants from multiple populations were pooled within species as indicated in the Material and Methods section, and sample size for the calculated proportions are shown in Table 1.
