Effect of Huntiella decorticans and drought on Nothofagus dombeyi seedlings. [PDF]
AoB Plants, 2023 AbstractIn the temperate forests of Patagonia, Argentina, Nothofagus dombeyi, commonly known as Coihue, has shown sensitivity to intense drought events, leading to mortality. Studies have been conducted on Coihue decline and mortality using a variety of approaches, including the role of extreme heat waves and drought, pests and pathogens, particularly ...

Phytochemical Screening and Antioxidant Activity of Seven Native Species Growing in the Forests of Southern Chilean Patagonia [PDF]
Molecules, 2021 The genus Nothofagus is one of the most abundant in the subantarctic Patagonian forests. Five species inhabit these ecosystems, three evergreen (Nothofagus betuloides, Nothofagus dombeyi, and Nothofagus nitida) and two deciduous (Nothofagus pumilio and ...

Using Genome-Wide SNP Discovery and Genotyping to Reveal the Main Source of Population Differentiation in Nothofagus dombeyi (Mirb.) Oerst. in Chile [PDF]
International Journal of Genomics, 2016 Within a woody plant species, environmental heterogeneity has the potential to influence the distribution of genetic variation among populations through several evolutionary processes. In some species, a relationship between environmental characteristics

Complex History of Organellar Introgression in <i>Nothofagus</i> Trees: Chloroplast and Mitochondrial Capture Facilitated by Natural Selection. [PDF]
Ecol EvolField photograph of an ancient Nothofagus tree covered with epiphytic lichens in the Patagonian temperate rainforest. This genus serves as a key model for investigating organellar introgression and evolutionary genomics in South America. ABSTRACT Hybridization is widespread across diverse groups of organisms, and in some cases, organellar genomes of ...

Recovery of Seed Quality and Germination Success Following Severe Wildfires in <i>Araucaria araucana</i> Forests of the Southern Andes. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe assessed post‐fire germination of Araucaria araucana in the southern Andes and found that seed viability and germination increased markedly (from 65% to 90%) between 1 and 8 years after a severe wildfire. Improved germination at longer time‐since‐fire reflects a recovery of reproductive capacity in this ecologically and culturally significant ...

Assessing the role of foliar habit on nutrient losses in a sub-Antarctic forest. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Biogeochemical cycles drive global biodiversity and plant productivity. In terrestrial ecosystems, nutrient losses through plants' litter are a critical component of these biogeochemical cycles. In forests, nutrient losses are thought to be higher in deciduous angiosperm species than in evergreen conifers.

A cost-effective DNA extraction protocol for long-read sequencing in non-model plants. [PDF]
Appl Plant SciAbstract Premise Third‐generation sequencing has revolutionized genomics, enabling in‐depth analysis of genome sequence, structure, and epigenetic features. Yet, extracting high‐quality DNA for long‐read sequencing remains a bottleneck—particularly in non‐model plants, such as mature trees growing in natural environments, which often contain abundant ...

Periods of organogenesis in shoots of Nothofagus dombeyi (Mirb.) oersted (Nothofagaceae). [PDF]
Ann Bot, 2002 The organogenetic cycle of main-branch shoots of Nothofagus dombeyi (Nothofagaceae) was studied. Twelve samples of 52-59 parent shoots were collected from a roadside population between September 1999 and October 2000. Variations over time in the number of nodes of terminal and axillary buds, and the length, diameter and number of leaves of shoots ...

High diversity of fungal ecological groups in Andean-Patagonian Nothofagus forests. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Native Andean-Patagonian Nothofagus forests harbour a unique diversity of microorganisms with diverse ecological roles. Although ectomycorrhizal associations constitute an important fragment of the biota associated with these forests, the factors ...
