Kartlegging av bakteriesykdom (Pseudomonas syringae) på selje (Salix caprea) i Norge

Abstract

Pseudomonas syringae was isolated from symptomatous goat willow trees (and some other tree species) from different locations in Norway. The isolates were characterized by different methods and their pathogenicity proven by bioassays. We conclude that the pathogen represents a threat to the health of goat willow and other host plants in Norwegian natural environment.
