Ozone alters the feeding behavior of the leaf beetle Agelastica coerulea (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) into leaves of Japanese white birch (Betula platyphylla var. japonica).
High mixing ratios of ground-level O3 threaten trophic interactions. In the present study, we conducted laboratory assays, where insect larvae and adults were not directly exposed to O3, to test the feeding behavior and attraction of the coleopteran leaf beetle Agelastica coerulea to early and late leaves of Japanese white birch (Betula platyphylla var. japonica) treated with ambient or elevate...
متن کاملMicropropagation of adult birch trees: production and field performance.
We compared the growth of trees produced by micropropagation from nodal stem sections or callus tissue of a 20-year-old silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) tree with that of seedlings; growth was monitored for 17 months in pots followed by six years in the field. Micropropagated trees from both nodal stem sections and callus tissue grew at a similar rate to seedling trees and no obvious mutant t...

cause these plant tissues are the primary substrates for microbial metabolism in soil. Soil microorganisms are limited by the amount and type of plantOzone is a greenhouse gas that is accumulating in the derived substrates entering soil, and we reasoned that changes in the production and biochemical constituents of plant litter produced lower atmosphere, and elevated O3 has the potential to und...
متن کاملResponses of deciduous broadleaf trees to defoliation in a CO2 enriched atmosphere.
Relatively little is known about the implications of atmospheric CO2 enrichment for tree responses to biotic disturbances such as folivory. We examined the combined effects of elevated CO2 concentration ([CO2]) and defoliation on growth and physiology of sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) and trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.). Seedlings were planted in the ground in eight open-top c...
متن کاملEthylene insensitivity modulates ozone-induced cell death in birch.
We have used genotypic variation in birch (Betula pendula Roth) to investigate the roles of ozone (O(3))-induced ethylene (ET), jasmonic acid, and salicylic acid in the regulation of tissue tolerance to O(3). Of these hormones, ET evolution correlated best with O(3)-induced cell death. Disruption of ET perception by transformation of birch with the dominant negative mutant allele etr1-1 of the ...
