Beginning in 1991, we have added nitrogen (N) to the 0.5-ha, N-poor, coniferous-forested catchment G2 NITREX at Gårdsjön, Sweden, to investigate the consequences of chronic elevated N deposition. We have added 40 kg N ha−1 yr−1 in fortnightly doses of NH4NO3 to the ambient 15 kg N ha−1 yr−1 by means of a sprinkling system. NO3 concentrations in runoff increased during 13 years from < 1 to 70 μeq L−1, and in 2004 comprised about 10% of N input. Inhibition of NO3 immobilisation due to increased availability of NH4 might explain the increased leaching of NO3. C and N pools in the forest floor increased but C/N ratio has not changed. The increase in NO3 leaching thus occurred independently of change in C/N ratio. The results from Gårdsjön demonstrate that increased leaching of inorganic N and decrease in C/N ratio respond to increased N deposition at greatly different time scales. NO3 concentrations increased in runoff although the C/N ratio of forest floor has not changed.

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.

Abstract: Development of Fusarium head blight (FHB) was studied in winter wheat pre-treated with potential defence activators. Several chemicals were pre-screened for their capacity to reduce development of Microdochium nivale in a detached leaf as¬say. Selected compounds were further tested for their capacity to reduce Fusarium culmorum development in heads of winter wheat in greenhouse and field experiments. In the detached leaf assay, leaves from plants pre-treated with a foliar fertilizer displayed reduced disease development compared to untreated control. A significantly reduced disease develop¬ment of FHB in plants pre-treated with the foliar fertilizer was also registered in the greenhouse and field experiments. In the field experiment, harvested grains from plants treated with the foliar fertilizer had up to 75% reduction in Fusarium infected seeds com¬pared to grains from non-treated plants.

The influence of high CO2 concentrations and diurnal variation in air temperature on the development of powdery mildew (Podosphaera pannosa) was studied in different cut rose cultivars grown under 20 h day"1 supplementary lighting. An increase in CO2 concentration from 380 to 1000, or 2000 "mol mol"1, did not affect development of the disease in cvs. `Escimo" and `Red Champ". Compared to constant temperature, a temperature drop from 22 °C to 16 °C over the course of 8 h significantly enhanced the attack of powdery mildew in both cultivars, while the same drop in temperature over the course of 4 h had no effect. In another experiment, a temperature increase from 20 °C to 26 °C reduced the attack of powdery mildew in the four cultivars studied (`Escimo", `Red Champ", `Jade" and `Cezanne") when applied over 4 h and even more so when applied over 8 h. Number of days until flowering was unaffected by CO2 concentration, but was increased by a drop in temperature and decreased by a rise. Fresh weight per shoot was increased by CO2 enrichment, a drop in temperature and by a 4 h period of increased temperature. The results are discussed in relation to an optimal greenhouse climate with respect to rose production and powdery mildew control.

White clover (WC, Trifolium repens L.) or red clover (RC, Trifolium pratense L.) was grown in mixture with grasses. Samples of the mixtures and pure clovers were taken during three cuts, and the fatty acids (FA) compositions were determined. The clover species had no significant effect on the individual FA contents of the leys (g kg-1 dry matter (DM)), nor on the total FA content. Pure clovers had lower content of all individual FA (8.2 vs. 12.4 g kg-1 DM) than mixtures; the contents of all FA decreased with increasing percentage of clover in the mixture, but the decrease was weaker for C18:3n-3 than for the other FA. Although pure WC and RC had similar FA contents, the relative proportions (percentage of total FA content) of C16:0 and C18:3n-3 differed; RC had a higher proportion of C18:3n-3 and a lower proportion of C16:0. These results are partly in contradiction with previously reported.

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.

The transition to flowering in the herbaceous ornamental perennial Salvia x superba Stapf `Blaukönigin" is promoted by increasing the photosynthetic photon flux (PPF), in addition to a facultative response to both vernalization and long photoperiods. Floral evocation occurred at an earlier developmental stage in unvernalized S. superba in response to increasing the PPF from 50 to 200 mmol m-2 s-1 irrespective of photoperiod, although the response was more prominent in 20-hour days compared with short days of 10 hours. After a saturating vernalization treatment, the response to PPF was bypassed when plants were grown in long photoperiods. The promotion of flowering by increasing light quantity seems to be dependent on the ambient light level during the actual evocation process irrespective of the light level received during previous vegetative growth. Further investigations are needed to uncover the response mechanism behind this PPF dependent flowering pathway.
