The pathogenicity of three fungal associates of the pine reproduction weevils, Hylobiuspales (Hbst) and Pissodesnemorensis Germar, to eastern white pine (Pinusstrobus L.) was investigated. Three-year-old eastern white pine seedlings were inoculated with isolates of Leptographiumprocerum (Kendr.) Wingf., Ophiostomapiceae (Munch) Sydow & Sydow, or a Graphium species that produced no perfect state. The inoculations were made by wounding the seedlings and inserting a block of malt extract agar colonized by the respective fungi into the wounds. After 3 months, the wounds of seedlings inoculated with L. procerum were resinous and there were significantly longer lesions in the bark and sapwood than in seedlings inoculated with the other fungi. Based on reisolation from the xylem, both L. procerum and O. piceae colonized the sapwood beyond lesions or any visual discoloration, but the Graphium species did not. These results confirm the pathogenicity of L. procerum and O. piceae and suggests that lesion length alone does not fully characterize colonization by some blue stain fungi.

Effect of aluminum (Al) on the growth, anatomy, and nutrient content of eastern white pine (Pinusstrobus L.) was determined by growing newly germinated seedlings for 12 weeks in sand irrigated with nutrient solution (pH 3.8) containing 0, 12.5, 25, 50, 75, or 100 mg/L of Al. To determine the influence of mycorrhizal infection on Al toxicity, half of the seedlings were inoculated with the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithustinctorius (Pers.) Coker & Couch. Across Al concentrations, shoot growth (height, needle length, biomass) but not root growth (lateral root length, biomass) was significantly greater in ectomycorrhizal (ECT) than nonmycorrhizal (NM) seedlings. Aluminum significantly decreased shoot and root growth in ECT and NM seedlings but had less effect on growth in ECT seedlings. Foliar symptoms of Al toxicity (chlorosis, tip necrosis) were more pronounced in NM than in ECT seedlings. Cellular and ultrastructural injury to needles and root meristematic tissues was observed at lower concentrations of Al in NM seedlings than in ECT seedlings. Amelioration of Al toxicity by mycorrhizal colonization appeared to result from enhanced uptake of nutrients, especially P, rather than to reduced uptake of Al.
