Leaf surface traits: overlooked determinants of birch resistance to herbivores and foliar micro-fungi?

2005-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Previous studies on the mechanisms of birch resistance to herbivores and foliar micro-fungi (both pathogenic and endophytic) have focused mainly on the role of internal leaf chemistry. In the present study, we examined genetic correlations between leaf surface traits (glandular trichome density and total concentrations of surface flavonoid aglycones) and occurrence of three species of foliar micro-fungi, one patho...
