Effects of Inoculations on Photosynthetic Behaviour and Induced Defence Responses of Plant Volatiles in Field-Grown Hybrid Poplar Tolerant to Bark Canker Disease.

Bark cankers accompanied by symptoms of decline and dieback are the result of a destructive disease caused by infections in woody plants. Pathogenicity, gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, and volatile responses to and inoculations were studied in field-grown 10-year-old hybrid poplar plants. The most stressful effects of on photosynthetic behaviour were found at days 30 and 38 post-inoculation (p.
