The sequence of conceptual information in instruction and its effect on retention [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Two experiments were carried out to study the effect of the sequencing of the information in an instructional program. In both experiments, two different ordering principles were used. These principles were based on the relation between the to be learned

A remotely sensed pigment index reveals photosynthetic phenology in evergreen conifers

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016
Significance Evergreen photosynthetic activity has been difficult to determine from remote sensing, causing errors in terrestrial photosynthetic carbon uptake models. Using a reflectance chlorophyll/carotenoid index (CCI) sensitive to seasonally changing

A War of Words: Do Conflict Metaphors Affect Beliefs about Managing “Unwanted” Plants?

open access: yesSocieties, 2013
Woody plants have increased in density and extent in rangelands worldwide since the 1800s, and land managers increasingly remove woodland plants in hopes of restoring pre-settlement conditions and/or improved forage for grazing livestock.

De novo transcriptome sequencing and gene co-expression reveal a genomic basis for drought sensitivity and evidence of a rapid local adaptation on Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionUnderstanding the adaptive capacity to current climate change of drought-sensitive tree species is mandatory, given their limited prospect of migration and adaptation as long-lived, sessile organisms.

Application of Proteomics to the Study of Pollination Drops

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, 2013
Premise of the study: Pollination drops are a formative component in gymnosperm pollen-ovule interactions. Proteomics offers a direct method for the discovery of proteins associated with this early stage of sexual reproduction.

Assessing the Gene Content of the Megagenome: Sugar Pine (Pinus lambertiana). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Sugar pine (Pinus lambertiana Douglas) is within the subgenus Strobus with an estimated genome size of 31 Gbp. Transcriptomic resources are of particular interest in conifers due to the challenges presented in their megagenomes for gene identification ...

Stress-induced nitric oxide and adaptive plasticity in conifers

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2002
The excitable properties of conifer protoplasm consist of nitric oxide (NO) bursts that prime and prepare chemical messengers for the transmission of stressful environmental signals.

An economic analysis and seed yield assessment of alternative breeding strategies in a white spruce tree improvement program

open access: yesThe Forestry Chronicle, 2023
Tree improvement programs in Alberta have been primarily based on selections from open-pollinated wild stand trees, without systematic breeding of elite parents through controlled pollination. This strategy has resulted in relatively slow advancements in

Tree differences in primary and secondary growth drive convergent scaling in leaf area to sapwood area across Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
open28siTrees scale leaf (AL) and xylem (AX) areas to couple leaf transpiration and carbon gain with xylem water transport. Some species are known to acclimate in AL : AX balance in response to climate conditions, but whether trees of different species ...

Automation and Scale Up of Somatic Embryogenesis for Commercial Plant Production, With Emphasis on Conifers

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
For large scale production of clonal plants, somatic embryogenesis (SE) has many advantages over other clonal propagation methods such as the rooting of cuttings.
