A study on biochemical mechanisms of the rubber tree aggression by two root rotting fungi Rigidoporus lignosus and Phellinus noxius was carried out. The activity of eight enzymes and their spatial distribution in adult tap root tissues were measured. Finally their origin, host or parasite, and physiological signification in the pathogenic process were discussed.
