To identify chemical resistant markers induced by fungal or mechanical injury, young trees of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) were subjected to inoculations of blue stain fungi associated with the pine shoot beetles Tomicus piniperda and T. minor. Among the 20 trees selected for chemical analyses, 16 were divided into four groups: one as control and three were pretreated by wounding only, or by inoculation with either the blue stain fungus Leptographium wingfieldii or Ophiostoma canum.Four wk after pretreatment, all 16 pretreated trees were mass-inoculated with L. wingfieldii. The absolute and relative amounts, as well as the enantiomeric compositions of monoterpene hydrocarbons in the phloem, were determined via a small sample of the phloem before and after the pretreatment and mass inoculation, by using two-dimensional gas chromatography (2D GC) and GC-mass spectrometry (MS).After mass inoculation, the absolute amounts of most of the monoterpenes decreased in the phloem sampled 20 cm from the fungal infection, and were higher in the phloem sampled within the infected reaction zone.The relative amounts of both ()--pinene and ()-limonene increased in phloem samples taken 20 cm above the fungal inoculation in the preinoculated trees compared with phloem sampled from the remaining four control trees. The enantiomeric compositions of -pinene and limonene changed, after fungal growth, at defined distances from the inoculation site: the proportion of the ()-enantiomers was highest in the phloem sampled 20 cm from the fungal inoculation.Four wk after pretreatment, monoterpene production in the phloem at the site of inoculation was more enhanced by L. wingfieldii than by O. canum. However, the different virulence levels of the fungi did not affect the enantiomeric composition of the monoterpenes. The biosynthesis of monoterpene enantiomers is discussed in relation to induced pathogen resistance.

Treveps er store insekter som vekker oppsikt når de flyr rundt i skogen på jakt etter egnet materiale å legge egg i. Treveps i slektene Sirex og Urocerus har med seg råtesopp i mycangier. Siden dette ble oppdaga er fire sopparter blitt knytta til disse trevepsene. Først ble Stereum sanguinolentum antatt å være følgesvennen. Dette viste seg ikke å være tilfelle, men det har har hengt lenge ved i litteraturen. I stedet er tre Amylostereum-arter funnet å være assosiert med forskjellige arter av treveps; A. areolatum, A. chailletii (granlærsopp) og A. laevigatum (einerlærsopp). I denne artikkelen skriver jeg litt om treveps-sopp assosiasjonen og om de nevnte soppenes opptreden i Norge. Amylostereum areolatum er ikke rapportert fra Norge tidligere.

Bark beetles and associated phytopathogenic fungi elicit defence responses in conifers that may interfere with beetle establishment and development. Norway spruce is serving as a useful model species for studies of induced defences elicited by beetle attacks, fungal inoculation, and treatment with chemical elicitors.When trees are pretreated with a sublethal dose of fungal inoculations or with the phytohormone methyl jasmonate they become much more resistant to subsequent bark beetle attacks or artificial mass inoculations with fungi. This induced disease resistance follows dose-response dynamics, is nonspecific with respect to the pretreatment organism, appears to be nonsystemic, takes weeks rather than days to become activated, and can also be activated by mechanical wounding alone.Application of methyl jasmonate to Norway spruce stems induces a massive increase in terpene levels and external resin flow on the stem, whereas no increase is observed in soluble phenolics. Methyl jasmonate-application also leads to significantly less bark beetle colonization, with shorter parental galleries and fewer eggs laid in treated bark. There were also reductions in the number of beetles produced and the mean dry weight per beetle in methyl jasmonate-treated bark. Furthermore, fewer beetles were attracted to conspecifics tunneling in MJ-treated bark.The exact mechanisms responsible for induced resistance in Norway spruce and other conifers have not been determined, but inducible anatomical defense responses such as changes in polyphenol-containing parenchyma cells (PP cells) in the phloem and induction of traumatic resin duct formation in the sapwood seem to play an important role.
