Mortality of apricot rootstocks and scions [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceAim of our study is to assess the stability and profitability of apricot production by selecting some rootstock and scions among Hungarian climate conditions, that are good adapted to the changing climate. Comparative experiments will be conducted to gain comprehensive knowledge, including their impact on vegetative and generative development ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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
