Investigations on Net CO2 Assimilation, Transpiration and Root Growth of Fagus sylvatica Infested with Four Different Phytophthora Species

Abstract: In this contribution, we compare the influence of four different Phytophthora species on root development, net CO2 assimilation and transpiration of beech seedlings and saplings. Some few days after inoculation, photosynthesis and transpiration of seedlings infected with either P. citricola or P. cambivora were strongly reduced. In parallel, about 60 % of their root systems was destroyed compared to control plants. Three weeks after infection, all seedlings were dead, showing severe wilt symptoms on leaves. Re… Show more

“…In comparison with other inoculation experiments (e.g. Werres 1995;Vettraino et al 2001;Fleischmann et al 2002Fleischmann et al , 2004Holub et al 2010), however, the aggressiveness of P. multivora to forest trees might be at a level similar to that of P. cactorum or P. cambivora. Therefore, P. multivora may also pose a potential risk to European forests, at least in Central and Mediterranean Europe, because the examined oak forest in South Moravia was highly affected by this species.…”

“…The association between root damage and severe defoliation of the tree crown may be a consequence of reduced C assimilation as a result of pathogen infection. Maurel et al [35][36][37] and Fleischmann et al [17] demonstrated significantly reduced stomatal conductance and transpiration for seedlings of Castanea sativa, Fagus sylvatica and Q. ilex infected with various Phytophthora species. Similar results were also reported for Persea americana infected with P. cinnamomi [41].…”

“…During this time there was no visible indication of root infection on above-ground plant parts, such as stem necroses or wilt of leaves as described for beech seedlings infested with P. citricola (Fleischmann et al 2002. At the end of the experiment-13 weeks after inoculation-the pathogen was re-isolated from soil samples of all four lysimeters inoculated with the pathogen.…”

“…While mature trees and older saplings suffer a slow decline over several years, 4 months old seedlings of Fagus sylvatica were killed by the pathogen within a couple of days (Fleischmann et al 2002. The susceptibility of beech seedlings decreases fast during ontogeny.…”
