Abstract:Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) trees were preinoculated with a sublethal dose of the blue-stain fungus Ceratocystis polonica Siem. (C. Moreau) 1 to 52 weeks before they were mass inoculated with the same fungus. Trees pretreated 1 week before mass inoculation had similar, severe symptoms of fungal infection as the control trees. Pretreatment 3, 6 or 9 weeks before mass inoculation resulted in effective protection of the trees, reducing pathogenic symptoms by 63-90% relative to the control trees, whereas pretreatment 52 weeks before mass inoculation gave intermediate protection (44-71% reduction in symptoms). Thus, pretreatment induced resistance to the blue-stain fungus in Norway spruce by a process that requires more than 1 week to become activated and protects trees for at least one year after pretreatment. Pretreatment induced formation of traumatic resin ducts (TDs) in the sapwood and swelling and proliferation of polyphenolic parenchyma cells (PP cells) in the phloem. Trees pretreated 3-9 weeks before mass inoculation had more TDs and showed greater swelling of existing PP cells than control trees or trees pretreated 1 week before mass inoculation. We conclude that induced disease resistance in Norway spruce is probably associated with PP cell activation and TD induction, because resistance was enhanced within the same time frame as the induction of these defense responses.
