Abstract
Most biotic, foliar diseases of trees are caused by fungi. In order to establish infection, the fungal pathogen must overcome natural host defense mechanisms. Disease resistance is the ability of the host to prevent or resist disease. In foliar diseases of trees, host and nonhost resistance is dependent on the characteristics of the entire leaf including both biochemical and structural mechanisms as preexisting barriers or induced responses from host-pathogen interactions. The apoplast, or the extracellular matrix that includes cell wall, intercellular spaces, and xylem, is considered to have a central role in the interface of plants with the environment and in the defense of plants against pathogens (Bowles 1990). Studies on plant resistance have focused on either preinfectional host mechanisms that prevent and inhibit pathogen penetration or postinfectional host responses to disease development.
