Combinations of Neetria eoceinea var. faginata (tbe primary causal agent of beech bark disease), Fusarium oxysporum, and associated bacteria were inoeulated into Ameriean beech trees at two sites in New Hampshire. Neither F. oxysporum nor bacteria appeared to affect the size of eankers formed. Canker size was signifieantly related to bark thickness at one site when only one mating type of the pathogen was inoeulated alone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
