Abstract
The megametophytes of Picea abies, Pinus sylvestris, Pinus mugo and La rix decidua were cultured on modified solid agar MS medium with 5 mg.l (-1) alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid and 0.1 mg.l(-1) B-benzylaminopurine and exposed to a tester, the basidiomycete Phaeolus schweinitzii. The megagametophytes of all tested species showed defense reactions manif ested by inhibition of mycelial growth. The weakest defense reactions were shown by the megagametophytes of Picea abies and Larix decidua. T he strongest defense reactions were found in Pinus sylvestris and Pinu s mugo megagametophytes.
