Publication InformationTitle: Xylem Resin in the Resistance of the Pinaceae to Bark Beetles Author: Smith, Richard H. Date: 1972 Source: General Technical Report PSW-1. Berkeley, CA: USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station. 7p. Station ID: GTR-PSW-001 Description: Xylem resin of Pinaceae is closely linked with their resistance and suseptibility to tree-killing bark beetles. This review of the literature on attacking adults suggests that all three resistance mechanisms proposed by Painter -- preference, antibiosis, and tolerance -- are active in this relationship: preference by attraction, repellency, and synergism; antibiosis by both chemical and physical properties; tolerance by healing and secondary resinosis. Key Words: Pinaceae, insect-host relationships, Scoly tidae, resins, terpenes, attractants, antibiosis View and Print this Publication (239 KB) Publication Notes: Citation Smith, Richard H. 1972.
