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

open access: yesHorticulturae, 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

open access: yesPlants, 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.

An arrangement of secretory cells involved in the formation and storage of resin in tracheid-based secondary xylem of arborescent plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The evolution of the vascular system has led to the formation of conducting and supporting elements and those that are involved in the mechanisms of storage and defense against the influence of biotic and abiotic factors.

Enzymes Involved in the Biosynthesis of Arginine from Ornithine in Maritime Pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.)

open access: yesPlants, 2020
The amino acids arginine and ornithine are the precursors of a wide range of nitrogenous compounds in all living organisms. The metabolic conversion of ornithine into arginine is catalyzed by the sequential activities of the enzymes ornithine ...

Dendrochemical Challenge in Climate Science: Whether Chemical Elements in Wood Reflect the Fluctuations in Weather Parameters

open access: yesPlants, 2022
The aim of this study was to find consistent correlations between weather parameters and elemental content of tree rings in four widely distributed Siberian conifers: Siberian spruce (Picea obovata Ledeb.), Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), Siberian ...

Expression Levels of Genes Encoding Proteins Involved in the Cell Wall–Plasma Membrane–Cytoskeleton Continuum Are Associated With the Maturation-Related Adventitious Rooting Competence of Pine Stem Cuttings

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Stem cutting recalcitrance to adventitious root formation is a major limitation for the clonal propagation or micropropagation of elite genotypes of many forest tree species, especially at the adult stage of development.

Testing of megagametophytes of some conifer species for defense reactions to the fungus Phaeolus schweinitzii

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
The megametophytes of Picea abies, Pinus sylvestris, Pinus mugo and Larix decidua were cultured on modified solid agar MS medium with 5 mg.l-1 α-naphthaleneacetic acid and 0.1 mg.l-1 6-benzylaminopurine and exposed to a tester, the basidio-mycete ...

How important are different non-native conifers in Britain to Common Crossbills Loxia curvirostra curvirostra? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Capsule Pines physically defend their seeds against seed-eating birds and mammals more than spruces or larches. Cone characteristics reflect the rate at which Common Crossbills Loxia curvirostra curvirostra extract seeds from different non-native ...

Expansion in the distribution of Pauesia silana Tremblay (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Aphidiinae), across North Africa, a recent discovery in Tunisia [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, 2022
View on Scopus The occurrence of Pauesia silana Tremblay, as an aphid parasitoid (Hym., Braconidae, Aphidiinae) in Tunisia is documented. The parasitoid was found in association with the Aleppo pine aphid, Cinara palaestinensis Hille Ris Lambers ...
