Ophiostoma ulmi metabolites and elm cell membrane permeability. Possible use in early tests of resistance

Ophiostoma ulmi metabolites and elm cell membrane permeability. Possible use in early tests of resistance - Eur. J. For. Path., 18(2), p.77-84, 1988 .

Electrolyte leakage from leaf discs of three Ulmus species when challenged with cultural filtrate of an NAN aggressive isolate of Ophiostoma ulmi paralleled their susceptibility to the disease in the field. But tne correlation was not working with some hybrids deriveci from the common field elm showing intermediate resistance. The possible explanation will be checked in further tests which are in progress to assess the possibility of using this technique in early screening for resistance.
