Effects of climate change on richness distribution patterns of threatened conifers endemic to China

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Climate change inevitably affects the geographical distribution of species on earth. Conifers, which are important components of forest tree species, are highly threatened and particularly sensitive to climate change. Approximately 23.6% (145/615 species)

Somatic Embryogenesis in Conifers: One Clade to Rule Them All?

Plants, 2023
Somatic embryogenesis (SE) in conifers is usually characterized as a multi-step process starting with the development of proembryogenic cell masses and followed by histodifferentiation, somatic embryo development, maturation, desiccation, and plant ...

Loss of the IR region in conifer plastomes: Changes in the selection pressure and substitution rate of protein‐coding genes

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Plastid genomes (plastomes) have a quadripartite structure, but some species have drastically reduced or lost inverted repeat (IR) regions. IR regions are important for genome stability and the evolution rate.

The long road to bloom in conifers

Forestry Research, 2022
More than 600 species of conifers (phylum Pinophyta) serve as the backbone of the Earth’s terrestrial plant community and play key roles in global carbon and water cycles. Although coniferous forests account for a large fraction of global wood production,

Nitrogen uptake strategies of mature conifers in Northeastern China, illustrated by the 15N natural abundance method

Ecological Processes, 2021
Background Conifers partition different N forms from soil, including ammonium, nitrate, and dissolved organic N (DON), to sustain plant growth. Previous studies focused on inorganic N sources and specific amino acid forms using 15N labelling, but ...

An Overview of the Practices and Management Methods for Enhancing Seed Production in Conifer Plantations for Commercial Use

Horticulturae, 2021
Flowering, the beginning of the reproductive growth, is a significant stage in the growth and development of plants. Conifers are economically and ecologically important, characterized by straight trunks and a good wood quality and, thus, conifer ...

Mummified Wood of Juniperus (Cupressaceae) from the Late Miocene of Taman Peninsula, South Russia

Plants, 2022
Juniperus L. is the second-largest genus of conifers, having the widest distribution of all conifer genera. Its phytogeographic history is, however, obscure due to its very poor fossil record. We described a wood of Juniperus sp.
