Abstract
In a seed orchard with 14 clones of Austrian pine (Pinus nigra ssp. nigra) significant clonal differences in susceptibility to Gremmeniella abietina were observed during the last 15 years. As a physiological trait, the buffering of pH in homogenized bark tissue of one-year shoots was studied. There were significant clonal differences and a good correlation with the mean susceptibility. Clones with higher resistance to G. abietina possess a higher buffering capacity. As a biochemical trait, the monoterpenes of the bark tissue of one-year shoots were investigated by gas chromatography. The clones differed significantly in the amount of the 5 monoterpenes. Myrcene- and limonenecontent showed significant negative correlations with the attack by G. abietina. The possibility of indirect selection of less susceptible Austrian pines on the basis of these results is discussed.
