Abstract:The European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is threatened by the foliar nematode Litylenchus crenatae subsp. mccannii (Lcm), the causal agent of beech leaf disease (BLD). Thus far, the majority of studies regarding BLD have focused on American beech (F. grandifolia). To better determine the impact of Lcm in buds of European beech, a total of 54 buds were collected from naturally symptomatic trees. Here, we characterized for the first time the bud scale morphology of two different cultivars of F. sylvatica infected wi… Show more
