Abstract

One-year-old seedlings of Acer saccharinum (silver maple) and A. saccharum (sugar maple) that were inoculated with a Rifampicin-resistant strain of B.s. were found to contain bacteria resembling B.s. after 12 and 24 mo. After 2 yr, the bacteria were recovered from the sylem tissue located 30-72 cm and 5-54 cm from the inoculated site in silver and sugar maple, respectively. Therefore, B.s., a potential antagonist to Verticillium dahliae, can survive and be transported into newly formed xylem tissue of silver and sugar maple trees
