Abstract

Three clones of Norway spruce (Picea abies) were studied for their response to mass-inoculation with the blue-stain fungus Ceratocystis polonica. The effect of different pretreatments (fungal inoculation and wounding) before mass-inoculation was investigated for their possible role in an acquired resistance reaction.Pretreated trees showed enhanced resistance to the subsequent mass-inoculation relative to control trees that received no pretreatment. Furthermore, the fungal colonization of inoculated trees was less than that of wounded trees. The phenolic content of the bark, analysed by RP-HPLC, was compared in trees receiving different treatments.Trees inoculated with C. polonica had higher average concentration of ()-catechin, taxifolin and trans-resveratrol than wounded trees. Both inoculated and wounded trees had higher average concentrations of these compounds than control trees.The effect of the phenolic extract of Norway spruce bark on the growth of the root rot fungus Heterobasidion annosum and the blue-stain fungi C. polonica and Ophiostoma penicillatum were investigated in vitro. Heterobasidion annosum was not negatively affected, and the extracts had fungistatic effects on the blue-stain fungi. The growth of O. penicillatum was more inhibited than the growth of the more aggressive C. polonica.

Abstract

Vi undersøkte fenologi og kjønnsratio (andel hunner) til 15 arter snylteveps som parasitterer havrebladminerflue i Norge. Studiet gikk over 6 sesonger i byggskiftet i et økologisk drevet felt ved Norges Landbrukshøyskole, og det ble brukt Malaisefeller som innsamlingsmetode (en i åkerkanten og en 60 m inn i byggskiftet). Resultatene tydet på at snyltevepshunnene var mer knyttet til kanten enn hannene og verten sin, og at mange av snyltevepsene vandret ut av åkeren en stund før tresking. De to vanligste snyltevepsartene var Cyrtogaster vulgaris (en puppeparasitt) og Diglyphus begini (en larveparasitt). Førstnevnte hadde en særlig nær tilknytning til kanten, og tidligere studier har vist at denne kan overvintre som voksen i f.eks grastuer i kanten. Hos sistnevnte fant vi en tetthetsavhengig kjønnsratio i fellefangstene: Jo flere individer i fellene, jo lavere andel var hunner
