FOLIAR PATHOGENIC MICROMYCETES OF <i>SALIX</i> (<i>SALICACEAE</i>) PLANTS INTRODUCED IN SIBERIA
The present paper considers a species composition of foliar pathogenic micromycetes of Salix L. introductions growing in introduction centers and landscape plantations of five Siberian cities. Nine pathogens are revealed, two of them are given to Siberia for the first time. Morphology, pattern of fungi biology and pathogenesis are described. Host plants, general distribution of phytopathogens and occurrence in the model area are indicated. Intraspecific pathogen resistance is established for certain Salix L. introductions.
