Abstract
The formation of wound resin in sapwood and phloem by parenchyma cells not normally associated with resin production has been identified as an important induced defense response of conifers to bark beetles and their associated fungi (Reidet al. 1967, Berryman 1972). Early work on conifer defenses focused on the preformed resin canal system in unwounded pines (see reviews by Rudinsky 1962, Stark 1965, Callaham 1966, and Smith 1972). The true firs (Abies spp.), on the other hand, normally lack such resin canals in the xylem or phloem. The only preformed (in advance of wounding) resin is localized in cortical blisters (Bannan 1936).
