Outline of Final Research Achievements

To clarify the effect of environmental factors on resistance performance of Pinus thunbergii, I conducted several inoculations with Bursaphelenchus xylophilus to P. thubergii seedlings that have various level of genetically resistance. Inoculation test under different light intensities showed that 1) seedling mortality were affected by light intensity and pine family but not associated with their interaction, 2) reduction of resistance performance induced by relatively slight deterioration of light condition, 3) host plant physiology states acclimatized to light condition were also affected to resistance performance. In addition, I performed a similar inoculation experiment under a different condition of the temperature. Almost all seedlings were dead under high temperature condition irrespective of their genetic background. This result suggested that resistance performance of resistance families were dependent on temperature environment.
