Box 640, Durharn, New Hampshire 03824, U. S. A. Summary Research on discolouration and decay (pa essential sound (properties of cell walls sub stantially unaltered) to wood that is becoming thogenesis), and on compartmentalisation of decay (protection) in living trees has been con decayed (cell wall substances decomposing), ducted by Shigo, Shortle, and associates for discoloured wood will have physical, chemical, more than 20 years. As they enter their third and biological properties that are highly vari able. The causes of variation are complex and decade of pioneering research, it seemed ap involve the wood protoplasts (ray and axial pa propriate to list in chronological order, 100 pa pers that show a progressive understanding of renchyma), decay fungi, and microorganisms the highly complex systems involved in tree that develop in discoloured wood along with decay. Thirteen review papers are listed from decay fungi. Shifts in the oxidative metabolism 1965 to 1984.
