The task undertaken during the period of this progress report was to evaluate ectomycorrhizal-created endogenous increases of auxin (IAA) in shortleaf pine root systems receiving boron supplements and to determine if the impact on carbohydrate flux resembles that in plants receiving exogenous boron and IAA. In this report, analysis of the root system C/sup 14/ is described. Contrary to expectations, B addition caused the C/sup 14/ activity in the roots to decrease. Also reported on was a study to evaluate the effectiveness of phenolase in metabolizing toxic phenolic compounds and a study to determine the types and quantities of phenolic compounds produced by pine seedlings inoculated with Pisolithus tinctorius and receiving boron fertilization.
