    Abstract : The chemical elicitor methyl jasmonate (MeJA) could replace insecticides in Europe and Asia for protection of young conifers against the pine weevil (Hylobius abietis). This thesis mainly focuses on the effects of MeJA treatment on chemical defenses of conifers from seedling batches with documented field resistance. READ MORE

  5. 3. Conifer chemical defense : Rugulation of bark beetle colonization and pheromone emission

    Author : Tao Zhao; Anna-Karin Borg-Karlson; Irena Valterova; KTH; []
