چکیده
BERNSTEIN, M. E. H. M. HOWARD. and G. C. CARROLL. 1973. Fluorescence microscopy of Douglas fir foliage epifloia. Can. J. Microbiol. 19: 1129-1130. Douglas fir needles stained with the fluorescent dye, primulin, were observed microscopically using epiillumination with a mercury arc light source. Microorganisms fell into three categories: algae, which exhibited primary fluorescence; actinomycetes and fungi, which exhibited the secondary fluorescence of the adsorbed dye; and darkly pigmented fungi, which appeared black on the background of the fluorescing Douglas fir needle. A scanning electron micrograph is included for the purposes of comparison.

OCCURRENCE AND GENOTYPIC DIFFERENCES OF CHlOROGENIC ACID IN DOUGLAS-FIR FOLIAGE
Chlorogenic acid was identified in the foliage of Douglas-fir during the dormant season. Concentrations varied among genotypes and ranged between 75 and 390 p.p.m. in the fresh tissue.
متن کاملResponses of gas exchange to reversible changes in whole-plant transpiration rate in two conifer species.
This study examined the autonomy of branches with respect to the control of transpiration (E) in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) and western red cedar (Thuja plicata Donn) seedlings. Experiments were conducted on whole seedlings in a gas exchange system with a dual-cuvette that permitted independent manipulation and measurement of E in the upper and lower cuvettes. The value ...
متن کاملThinning Mixed-Species Stands of Douglas-Fir and Western Hemlock in the Presence of Swiss Needle Cast: Guidelines Based on Relative Basal Area Growth of Individual Trees
37 In coastal forests of the Pacific Northwest, young coniferous plantations typically contain a 38 mixture of planted and natural Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and western hemlock (Tsuga 39 heterophylla). Swiss needle cast (SNC) disease inhibits the growth of Douglas-fir to varying 40 degrees in these stands, depending on SNC severity. In addition to the value differential between 41 Dou...
متن کاملSeasonal carbohydrate dynamics and growth in Douglas-fir trees experiencing chronic, fungal-mediated reduction in functional leaf area.
Stored non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) could play an important role in tree survival in the face of a changing climate and associated stress-related mortality. We explored the effects of the stomata-blocking and defoliating fungal disease called Swiss needle cast on Douglas-fir carbohydrate reserves and growth to evaluate the extent to which NSCs can be mobilized under natural conditions of...
متن کاملGrowth of Young Douglas-Fir Plantations Across a Gradient in Swiss Needle Cast Severity
During the past decade, Swiss needle cast (SNC) damage has intensified in many Douglas-fir plantations in the Coast Range of Oregon, particularly along the immediate north coast. In plantations with severe symptoms, growth losses and reduced tree vigor are evident, but the magnitude of growth losses associated with varying intensities of damage is not known. A growth impact study was conducted ...
