Abstract
Phenolic compounds have been shown to play key roles in the resistance of plants to disease-causing microorganisms (Farkas and Kiraly, 1962; Cruickshank, 1963; Tomiyama, 1963; Rohringer and Samborski, 1967; Kuc, 1972). In addition, phenolics may also serve as protectants against leaf-eating insects as, for example, they may influence the availability or digestibility of proteins which insects obtain from leaves (Feeny, 1970). For these reasons, tree breeders and forest pathologists should be well acquainted with plant phenolics and the methods for their analysis.
