Abstract:
The paper shows that N--induced vigorous shoot growth increases susceptibility of apple trees to Venturia inaequalis. This is due to a weakened defence in infected leaves of the high N cultures showing large lesions with excessive sporulation, whereas infected leaves from the low N cultures exhibited successful defence with only small chlorotic lesions and no sporulation. This might be explained by biosynthesis of phenylpropanoids in the young leaves of the resistant trees. A negative correlatio...     »
