Photinia serrulata Lind!., P. glabra (Thunb. ex I.A. MUff.) Maxim., and two of their progeny, P. x/raser; Dress. 'Birmingham' and
'Kentucky' were screened for susceptibility to Entomosporium leafspot and for hydrogen cyanide potential using detached leaf
assays. Photinia serrulata was least susceptible to the fungus, while P. x fraseri 'Birmingham' and P. glabra were most susceptible.
Young leaves were much more susceptible than mature leaves in all taxa except P. glabra, which was found to be acyanogenic.
Although distinct differences in hydrogen cyanide potential occurred among the clones, a direct correlation to disease susceptibility
was not indicated.
