Creator:: Laird, Peter Paul
Abstract:: This study concerns factors affecting production and survival of ascospores of Elytroderma deformans (Weir) Darker, a needle cast of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.). The results show that summer cooling and a reduction in host vigor delays and diminishes the number of fertile hysterothecia produced. Evidence is offered for classification...

Creator:: Sweeney, Katarina
Abstract:: Hypersensitive response-like (HR-like) needle reactions to infection by the white pine blister rust pathogen, Cronartium ribicola, have been reported for several species of five needle pines native to western North America. The best-studied examples are in Pinus monticola and P. lambertiana. In these species a "needle spot" phenotype has been...
