In this experiment a few physiological characters were measured in order to show differences in leaf water potential (Ψ), chlorophyll content (SPAD) and chlorophyll a fluorescence (F0, FM, FV, FV/FM) between leaves differing in age of 3 poplar cultivars inoculated with H. crustuliniforme. In control plants (non-inoculated) differences in water potential and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters between the examined cultivars were slight. Statistically significant differences in water potential and chlorophyll content between non-inoculated and inoculated plants were observed only for young leaves from the upper parts of the plant stem. Similarly, significant differences between treatments in initial fluorescence (F0), maximal fluorescence (FM) and in variable fluorescence (FV) were found in leaves from the middle and upper part of the plant stem. The obtained results indicated that for leaves from the upper, median and lower part of the plant stem significant differences between treatments in maximum quantum yield of PS2 (FV/FM) in leaves from different plant parts in P. petrowskayana were not observed and in P. deltoides cv. Plantierens and P. balsamifera only for leaves from the upper parts of the plant stem. Although those differences between inoculated and non-inoculated plants were relatively small, we may presume, that if they occur through a longer period they may become more distinct causing positive changes in leaves. In conclusion, it is necessary to саrrу out future studies on the mechanism by which the EMC symbiosis influences leaf physiological traits.
