Abstract
Contents of protein, free and connected forms of proanthocyanidins and phenolic compounds are investigated in phloem of healthy trees of Pinus sylvestris L., and trees damaged by root rot (Hetero-basidion annosum (Fr.) Bref.). Significantly lower contents of connected forms of proanthocyanidins was estimated in phloem of healthy trees, than in phloem of damaged trees (0.17 and 0.065 % respectively). Destabilization of secondary metabolism of damaged trees manifests as increased variability of contents of proanthocyanidins in comparison with contents of phenolic compounds.
