Abstract

Juvenile longleaf pines vary considerably in their susceptibility to brown-spot needle blight. Under similar exposure to infection, a few seedlings may prove resistant while the rest are heavily attacked and many die within a few years. The extent to which resistance is genetically controlled, however, has yet to be determined.
