Secondary metabolites in mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal roots of conifers
1995
Weiss, M. | Mikolajewski, S. | Peipp, H. | Strack, D. (Pflanzenbiochemie Inst., Saale (Germany)) | Heller, W. | Steiner, K. | Sandermann, H. (Biochem. Pflanzenpath. Inst., Neuherberg (Germany)) | Wray, V. (Biotechnologische Forschung mbH Ges., Braunschweig (Germany))
Tissue specific localization of soluble secondary metabolites was demonstrated in ectomycorrhizae and uninfected roots of Picea abies, Larix decidua, Pinus sylvestris and Abies alba. Compounds were analysed by HPLC and by histochemical methods. Specific distribution and age-dependent changes were observed with several metabolites. For catechin corresponding patterns were found within the cortex of all investigated conifers. Levels of this metabolite were highest within the apical cortex cells and decreased on aging of the tissue. In spruce contents of catechin showed evident seasonal changes. Stilbene glucosides were detected within the pericycle of spruce roots and as well the phloem tissue of larch with levels increasing during root development. In larch two anthocyanins accumulated in the calyptra. In older tissues of larch roots larixin-glucosid and quercetin-rhamnosid were detected, the latter with highest levels in the phloem tissue. For cell wall bound ferulic acid increasing levels could be found concomitant with the development of the root.

1995
Dent, R.M. | Hanke, D.E. (Cambridge Univ. (United Kingdom). Plant Sciences Dept.)
Work was carried out to investigate the effect of pollution on the needle cytokinin content of mature Picea abies (L.) Karst individuals. Needles were collected from trees growing at two sites, one polluted and relatively non-polluted, in central Slovenia. After ethanolic extraction and purification, the needle cytokinin extracts were separed by reverse-phase HPLC. Cytokinin content was analysed using four direct ELISA techniques specific for Z-, DHZ- and iP-type cytokinins and the O-glucoside conjugate of Z. Results showed a trend towards the accumulation of cytokinins in needles from trees subject to high levels of atmospheric pollution, particulary with respect to ribotide derivatives. No difference was found in the (OG)Z content between polluted and non-polluted samples. The results are discussed with respect to the origins of the observed accumulation.

1995
Bermadinger-Stabentheiner, E. | Grill, D. (Graz Univ. (Austria). Plant Physiology Inst.)
To use alterations to epicuticular wax morphology as a successful tool in forest damage research, however, it is necessary to distinguish environmental influence and artefacts from common pollution effects. This paper gives a short review about alterations to epicuticular wax morphology of spruce needles.

1995
Krc, J. (Forestry Inst. of Slovenia, Ljubljana (Slovenia))
This paper deals with presenting a broad range of possibilities, which can be used with computer equipment by deriving, interpreting and processing forest data. Different rates of generalized data from the forest inventory can be used as a criterion in preparing different solutions. So this data strongly influences decision making processes. The paper also presents cost analysis and multi-criteria evaluation methods.

1995
Kraigher, H. (Forestry Inst. of Slovenia, Ljubljana (Slovenia)) | Hanke, D.E. (Cambridge Univ. (United Kingdom). Plant Sciences Dept.)
Cytokinins were analysed by a combined HPLC-ELISA method in needles of Norway spruce seedlings. The seedlings were grown in vitro on sterile or nonsterile soil substrates from two differently polluted forest research plots. Difference were predominantly found in the isopentenyladenine-type of cytokinins. These were elevated in seedlings, grown on polluted soils in comparison to those, grown on soils from the unpolluted plot. A possible explanation might be in the change of the metabolism in the roots due to pollution stress (when grown on sterilized substrates) or in change of the mycorrhizosphere organisms (when grown on nonsterile soil substrates). The model system using Norway spruce seedlings as tester organisms for soil pollution is discussed.

1995
Krizaj, B. (Ljubljana Univ. (Slovenia). Biotechnical Fac., Wood Science and Technology Dept.) | Stupar, J. (Jozef Stefan Inst., Ljubljana (Slovenia))
The concentrations of potassium were determined in: (a) the last formed wood, (b) the vascular cambial zone with conductive (noncollapsed) phloem, (c) the youngest nonconductive (collapsed) phloem and the (d) oldest nonconductive phloem, by atomic absorption flame spectroscopy in three unaffected and three heavily affected silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) trees. A commercial conditiometer and own devised Tree Tester were used to determine the electrical resistance (ER). The relationship between the ER of living tissues and K content was investigated. The tissues of unaffected trees were generally characterized by a higher K content and corresponding lower ER. In all trees the K content was highest and ER lowest in the vascular cambial zone with conducting phloem, followed by nonconducting phloem and youngest xylem.

1995
Marschner, H. (Hohenheim Univ., Stuttgart (Germany). Plant Nutrition Inst.)
Root-induced changes in the rhizosphere and root colonization with mycorrhizal fungi have marked influence on mineral nutrient acquisition from soils. Enhanced exudation of organic acids under phosphorus deficiency is a widespread phenomena in woody species forming root clusters. Root colonization with endomycorrhizas (AM) and ectomycorrhizas (ECM) increases the spatial availability of nutrients in the soil and enhances plant growth particulary on nutrient-poor soils. Most of these studies have been conducted under controlled environmental conditions and with annual plant species mycorrhizal with AM. Conclusions on the role of ECM colonization for nutrient acquisition of trees in forest stands are not possible at the present state of knowledge.

1995
Muller, M. | Grill, D. (Graz Univ. (Austria). Plant Physiology Inst.)
A plant test system by the classification of chromosome aberration in the root tip meristems of young spruce plants (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) has been used to study the environmental influence on the genetic material of trees at natural sites and under defined conditions of greenhouses and open-top chambers. All our results suggest that this plant test system is a valuable tool in environmental monitoring.

1995
Simoncic, P. | Kalan, P. (Forestry Inst. of Slovenia, Ljubljana (Slovenia))
Needles of 20 years old spruces from Prednji vrh, in the area affected by the Sostanj power station, and from Pokljuka (Alps region, with a relatively unpolluted environment), were analysed for total sulphur content (St). Measurements were taken in a period between April and August twice monthly and in the period from August to April every four weeks (May 1993 - June 1994). Sulphur content in one and two years old spruce needles from Prednji vrh were much higher (one year old needles 2.06-2.50 mg/g needle dry weight, 1993) than in needle samples from Pokljuka (one year old needles 1.05-1.25 mg/g needle dry weight, 1993).

1995
Jurc, M. | Jurc, D. | Simoncic, P. (Forestry Inst. of Slovenia, Ljubljana (Slovenia)) | Gogala, N. (Ljubljana Univ. (Slovenia). Biotechnical Fac., Biology Dept.)
Endophytic fungi species composition in healthy needles of Austrian pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) was investigated at eight locations in Slovenia. Results from October 1994 and January 1995 isolations were compared with analyses of macronutrients, sulphur and lead content of the needles. About 80 species of microfungi were revealed. From the observations and measurements described it was not possible to discriminate between the effect of environmental factors and effect of air pollutants. The pollutants load of all measured elements is low and the environmental factors are very diverse. From the dendogram of isolation frequencies it seems that the age of the tree affects the species composition and frequencies of endophytes to the greatest extent.
