In Vitro Plant Regeneration in Conifers: The Role of WOX and KNOX Gene Families
Genes, 2021 Conifers are a group of woody plants with an enormous economic and ecological importance. Breeding programs are necessary to select superior varieties for planting, but they have many limitations due to the biological characteristics of conifers. Somatic

New Phytologist, 2020 Evergreen conifers are champions of winter survival, based on their remarkable ability to acclimate to cold and develop cold-hardiness. Counterintuitively, autumn cold acclimation is triggered not only by exposure to low temperature, but also by a ...

The rise of angiosperms pushed conifers to decline during global cooling
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Competition for common resources can make some species groups thrive and others decline. Flowering plants rose to dominance between 125 and 80 Ma, undergoing an explosive radiation that is believed to have impacted long-established plant ...

Two dominant boreal conifers use contrasting mechanisms to reactivate photosynthesis in the spring
Nature Communications, 2020 Boreal forests are dominated by evergreen conifers that show strongly regulated seasonal photosynthetic activity. Understanding the mechanisms behind seasonal modulation of photosynthesis is crucial for predicting how these forests will respond to ...

Mature conifers assimilate nitrate as efficiently as ammonium from soils in four forest plantations.
New Phytologist, 2020 Conifers are considered to prefer to take up ammonium over nitrate. However, this conclusion is mainly based on hydroponic experiments that separate roots from soils.
