Fresh pine stump surfaces act selectively for primary invaders such as Fomes annosus that competes successfully against other microorganisms. However, a series of chemical reactions on the stump surface due to aeriation and the hosts response to wounding may be implicated in the selectivity of the host for certain microorganisms. The theory of stump selectivity of coniferous trees for F. annosus as well as the theory of wound reaction and protection wood are discussed. The sequence of events after wounding is complicated and the present investigation concentrates on the processes associated with the host response to wounding.
