Monoterpene composition of cortical tissue was analyzed in slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii) and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) clones with known breeding values for fusiform rust resistance. Trees having a relatively high content of beta-phellandrene tend to be more resistant than trees with a low beta-phellandrene content. Such results confirm previous data and suggest the utilization of beta-phellandrene content as an aid in selecting relatively rust resistant slash and loblolly pines.
