Abstract
The decline of oak stands is a phenomenon that has been observed since the beginning of the 20th century in many European countries. It can be caused both with abiotic factors such as drought and fluctuations in groundwater levels, as well as biotic factors such as infestations by insects, fungi and bacteria. Acute Oak Decline (AOD) is an dangerous disease of oak trees which was first observed in the XX century. From the moment the first symptoms were noticed, the disease is able to kill trees in up to 6 years. Two species of bacteria, Brebberia goodwinii and Gibsiella quercinecand, are considered as one of the infectious agents of AOD. The decline of Quercs robur was reported from a weakened stand from the Chojnow Forest District. Symptomatic exudates were sampled and subjected to laboratory analysis. Using the Real time PCR, bacteria Brenneria goodwinii and Gibsiella quercinecans were confirmed in two out of seven collected field samples. This report is the first information on the observation of these bacteria in weakened stands with the participation of Quercus robur in Poland. Keywords: Quercus robur, bacteria, Brenneria goodwinii, Gibsiella quercinecans, real time PCR, Acute Oak Decline
期刊介绍:
The journal welcomes the original articles as well as short reports, review papers on forestry and forest science throughout the Baltic Sea region and elsewhere in the area of boreal and temperate forests. The Baltic Sea region is rather unique through its intrinsic environment and distinguished geographical and social conditions. A temperate climate, transitional and continental, has influenced formation of the mixed coniferous and deciduous stands of high productivity and biological diversity. The forest science has been affected by the ideas from both the East and West.
In 1995, Forest Research Institutes and Universities from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
joined their efforts to publish BALTIC FORESTRY.
