Apple scion cultivars regulate the rhizosphere microbiota of scion/rootstock combinations [PDF]
Applied Soil Ecology, 2020 Abstract Grafting is a useful technique in the production of horticultural products. In addition to providing root system, rootstocks can increase stress tolerance of plants, influence scion growth and fruit yield, and harbor rich microbial community.

Predicting wood density of growth increments of Douglas-fir stands in New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science, 2018 Background Douglas-fir comprises 6% of New Zealand’s planted forest area and contributes to the national carbon sequestration estimate. Carbon stock changes in Douglas-fir stem wood can be calculated by multiplying the increment in stem volume under bark

Modelling the variation in wood density of New Zealand-grown Douglas-fir
New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science, 2017 Background Wood density is an important property that affects the performance of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) timber. In order to develop strategies to achieve certain end-product outcomes, forest managers and wood processors ...

A Program Logic for Verifying Secure Routing Protocols [PDF]
, 2014 The Internet, as it stands today, is highly vulnerable to attacks. However, little has been done to understand and verify the formal security guarantees of proposed secure inter-domain routing protocols, such as Secure BGP (S-BGP).

Rootstock-scion signalling: key factors mediating scion performance.
, 2017 Although the scion genotype often has a dominant effect on most agronomic traits, the rootstock introduces new sources of genotypic and phenotypic variability in the crop, due to rootstock×scion×environment interactions. These interactions are essentially based on hydraulic and chemical signals through the xylem (root to shoot) and the phloem (shoot to

Characterising prediction error as a function of scale in spatial surfaces of tree productivity
New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science, 2017 Background Two indices, the 300 Index and Site Index, are commonly used to quantify productivity of Pinus radiata D.Don within New Zealand. Although maps of these indices exist, availability of new data and modifications to underlying models makes a ...

Chasing genetic correlation breakers to stimulate population resilience to climate change
Scientific Reports, 2022 Global climate change introduces new combinations of environmental conditions, which is expected to increase stress on plants. This could affect many traits in multiple ways that are as yet unknown but will likely require the modification of existing ...

Assessing the Potential of Backpack-Mounted Mobile Laser Scanning Systems for Tree Phenotyping
Remote Sensing, 2022 Phenotyping has been a reality for aiding the selection of optimal crops for specific environments for decades in various horticultural industries. However, until recently, phenotyping was less accessible to tree breeders due to the size of the crop, the
