Efficient Multi-Sites Genome Editing and Plant Regeneration via Somatic Embryogenesis in Picea glauca [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Conifers are the world's major source of timber and pulpwood and have great economic and ecological value. Currently, little research on the application of CRISPR/Cas9, the commonly used genome-editing tool in angiosperms, has been reported in coniferous

Modular organization of the white spruce (Picea glauca) transcriptome reveals functional organization and evolutionary signatures [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2015 Summary Transcript profiling has shown the molecular bases of several biological processes in plants but few studies have developed an understanding of overall transcriptome variation. We investigated transcriptome structure in white spruce (Picea glauca)

Identification of defensin-encoding genes of
BMC Plant Biology, 2012 Background Plant defensins represent a major innate immune protein superfamily that displays strong inhibitory effects on filamentous fungi. The total number of plant defensins in a conifer species is unknown since there are no sequenced conifer genomes ...

Effect of Drought and Methyl Jasmonate Treatment on Primary and Secondary Isoprenoid Metabolites Derived from the MEP Pathway in the White Spruce Picea glauca. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 White spruce (Picea glauca) emits monoterpenes that function as defensive signals and weapons after herbivore attack. We assessed the effects of drought and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment, used as a proxy for herbivory, on monoterpenes and other ...

Effect of Drought on the Methylerythritol 4-Phosphate (MEP) Pathway in the Isoprene Emitting Conifer Picea glauca. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2020 The methylerythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis produces chlorophyll side chains and compounds that function in resistance to abiotic stresses, including carotenoids, and isoprene.

Defensive Traits during White Spruce (Picea glauca) Leaf Ontogeny [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Changes during leaf ontogeny affect palatability to herbivores, such that many insects, including the eastern spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.)), are specialist feeders on growing conifer leaves and buds.

Tryblidiopsis magnesii sp. nov. from Picea glauca in Eastern Canada. [PDF]
Fungal Syst Evol, 2019 Tryblidiopsis pinastri (Leotiomycetes, Rhytismatales) was described from Picea abies in Europe and was also thought to occur on North American Picea. However, previously published sequences of Picea foliar endophytes from Eastern Canada suggested the ...

Multienvironment genomic variance decomposition analysis of open-pollinated Interior spruce (Picea glauca x engelmannii). [PDF]
Mol Breed, 2018 The advantages of open-pollinated (OP) family testing over controlled crossing (i.e., structured pedigree) are the potential to screen and rank a large number of parents and offspring with minimal cost and efforts; however, the method produces inflated ...
