Incubation of barley seedlings in a container with seedlings of which primary leaves were pruned induced in the intact seedlings a systemic resistance to the infection by Erysiphe graminis f. sp. hordei. The induced resistance was moreprominent in the primary leaf than in the secondary leaf. Hence, some volative substances released after pruning of barley leaves seem to be responsible for the induced resistance against the powdery mildew fungus.
