| Research Abstract |
The "Rooshi" pitch canker of Chamaecyparis obtusa and Thujopsis dolabrata var. Hondai is frequently observed in heavy snowfall regions as well as the northern part of Japan. Reforestation with Chamaecyparis obtusa has become so widespread that the pitch canker is becoming one of the most serious disease. Empirically, the "Rooshi" pitch canker is supposed to be one of the restriction factors on natural distribution of Chamaecyparis obtusa forest in Japan
From our survey, the "Rooshi" pitch canker is considered to be a disease complex rather than a discrete canker disease. The classic symptoms of the disease are classified into three types, that is, a bleeding type, a resinous sink type, and a grooved pitch canker type on the trunk of living tree.
In this study, we discussed on the mechanisms of the development of "Rooshi" pitch canker. A bleeding type is supposed to be an incipient stage of "Rooshi" pitch canker and caused by abiotic stress factors such as cold and snowfall. This incipient stage of the disease develops to a resinous sink type on the trunk. And, finally, a grooved pitch canker is formed on the trunk accompaying fungi such as Sarea resinae and Pezicula liveda (Cryptosporiopsis abietina).
