Abstract

Twenty-five year old Norway spruce trees (Picea abies) were inoculated with four blue-stain fungi. Each tree was inoculated three times with each fungus and three times with sterile agar as a control, giving a total of 15 inoculations per tree. There was little variation in the extent of phloem necrosis produced in response to the different fungi, but five weeks after inoculation necrosis induced by Ceratocystis polonica and Ambrosiella sp. were significantly longer than those for the other fungi. At the same time, C. polonica had induced sapwood desicc-ation twice as deeply into the wood as any other fungus.Hyphal growth of the fungi into phloem and sapwood followed the same pattern as necrosis length and desiccation depth. Five weeks after inoculation C. polonica had penetrated phloem and sapwood further than any other fungus. It grew slower than the other fungi in both tissues the first week after inoculation, but the four following weeks it grew faster than all other fungi.
