Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Outer rings of the tree lose the capacity to conduct dye solutions, progressively toward the centre
- Observation Loss of conduction cuts off the water supply to the leaves, which empty of water and die
- Association Failure of the outer rings to conduct dye is associated with drying of the wood
- Association Failure of the wood to conduct dye is associated with penetration of the wood by fungi
- Observation Ceratostomella pini and fungus no. I are practically the only fungi that penetrate deeply into the wood early in attack
- Mechanism Drying of the wood is suggested to be accelerated by the action of fungi on the cells
- Mechanism Stoppage of conduction is probably associated with aspiration of the tori
- Mechanism Accumulation of air in the rings, with moisture loss, is suggested to block vertical and lateral water transport
- Observation Dendroctonus frontalis and Ips avulsus bore through the bark and tunnel in the phloem of pines
- Observation The beetle inoculates the wood of pines with fungi
