Evaluation of stem diameter, Pilodyn penetration, and stress-wave velocity of stem in almost 320 clones of the first-generation plus trees of Chamaecyparis obtusa selected from the Kanto breeding region

Journal of Wood Science
Tree breeding programs in Japan have aimed to improve both growth and wood quality traits in Chamaecyparis obtusa. To enhance breeding for wood quality, it is essential to understand the genetic variability of traits related to growth, wood density, and ...

A self-compatible pear mutant derived from γ-irradiated pollen carries an 11-Mb duplication in chromosome 17

Frontiers in Plant Science
Self-compatibility is a highly desirable trait for pear breeding programs. Our breeding program previously developed a novel self-compatible pollen-part Japanese pear mutant (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai), ‘415-1’, by using γ-irradiated pollen.

ThASR4 enhances salt tolerance in transgenic Tamarix and Arabidopsis by scavenging reactive oxygen species

BMC Plant Biology
Background ASR genes are a class of genes that are expressed in plants in response to abscisic acid, abiotic stress, and fruit ripening. While they have been successfully cloned and functionally characterized in various plant species, research on this ...

Genome-wide development of genomic SSR markers, polymorphism analysis, and dosage-aware SSR fingerprinting in hexaploid Camellia Oleifera

BMC Plant Biology
Background Oil-Camellia is an important woody oil crop, and most cultivated cultivars are hexaploid. Unresolved kinship among major cultivars and the lack of reliable identification methods have hindered both the development of new cultivars and the ...

The relationship among stress-wave-based wood stiffness and growth traits revealed by planting density trial with multiple genotypes in Cryptomeria japonica

Journal of Wood Science
Understanding the genetic and environmental factors influencing wood stiffness is essential for improving wood quality in plantation forestry. In this study, we investigated the phenotypic, genetic, and environmental variation in wood stiffness, measured
