Effect of Defoliation on the Defense Reactions of Silver Birch (<i>Betula pendula</i>) Infected with <i>Phytophthora plurivora</i>

Effect of Defoliation on the Defense Reactions of Silver Birch (<i>Betula pendula</i>) Infected with <i>Phytophthora plurivora</i>

In natural environments, plants develop adaptive mechanisms at the cellular and molecular levels to cope with many external factors, e.g., insects and soil pathogens. We studied physiological stress induced by different levels of foliage removal (defoliation 30% and 60%) and by infection of root rot...
