Tree Defense Mechanisms Against Fungi Associated with Insects

  • Chapter
Defense Mechanisms of Woody Plants Against Fungi

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Wood Science ((SSWOO))

Abstract

Insect-vectored fungi cause some of the most serious problems facing tree protection. For example, bark beetles are typically listed as the foremost tree-killing agents in government surveys, but in fact these insects are intimately associated with fungal symbionts. From both an ecological and a physiological perspective, they are a complex. Likewise, root-feeding beetles and their associated black-staining fungi are becoming increasingly important as the conversion to plantation forestry intensifies. Insect-vectored fungi also cause severe losses to high-value urban trees, such as with Dutch elm disease.
