An estimate of the number of tropical tree species. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2015
Significance People are fascinated by the amazing diversity of tropical forests and will be surprised to learn that robust estimates of the number of tropical tree species are lacking. We show that there are at least 40,000, but possibly more than 53,000, tree species in the tropics, in contrast to only 124 across temperate Europe ...

On the importance of root traits in seedlings of tropical tree species. [PDF]

New Phytol, 2020
Summary Plant biomass allocation may be optimized to acquire and conserve resources. How trade‐offs in the allocation of tropical tree seedlings depend on different stressors remains poorly understood. Here we test whether above‐ and below‐ground traits of tropical tree seedlings could explain observed occurrence along gradients of resources (light ...

Classification of Tropical Forest Tree Species Using Meter-Scale Image Data

Remote Sensing, 2019
Accurate classification of tropical tree species is critical for understanding forest habitat, biodiversity, forest composition, biomass, and the role of trees in climate variability through carbon uptake.

Consistent patterns of common species across tropical tree communities [PDF]

Nature
AbstractTrees structure the Earth’s most biodiverse ecosystem, tropical forests. The vast number of tree species presents a formidable challenge to understanding these forests, including their response to environmental change, as very little is known about most tropical tree species. A focus on the common species may circumvent this challenge.

RNA Sequencing Reveals Phenylpropanoid Biosynthesis Genes and Transcription Factors for Hevea brasiliensis Reaction Wood Formation

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Given the importance of wood in many industrial applications, much research has focused on wood formation, especially lignin biosynthesis. However, the mechanisms governing the regulation of lignin biosynthesis in the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis ...

Third-generation sequencing and metabolome analysis reveal candidate genes and metabolites with altered levels in albino jackfruit seedlings

BMC Genomics, 2021
Background Most plants rely on photosynthesis; therefore, albinism in plants with leaves that are white instead of green causes slow growth, dwarfing, and even death.

Integrated mRNA and Small RNA Sequencing Reveals microRNAs Associated With Xylem Development in Dalbergia odorifera

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Dalbergia odorifera is a rare and precious rosewood specie, whose wood is a very high-quality material for valuable furniture and carving crafts. However, limited information is available about the process of wood formation in D. odorifera.

Silicon-based anti-herbivore defense in tropical tree seedlings

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Silicon-based defenses deter insect herbivores in many cultivated and wild grass species. Furthermore, in some of these species, silicon (Si) uptake and defense can be induced by herbivory.

Flood tolerance of four tropical tree species [PDF]

Tree Physiology, 1999
Many seasonally flooded habitats in the tropics are dominated by one or a few tree species. We tested the hypothesis that the inability to tolerate flooding restricts most species from becoming established in flood-prone habitats. We compared morphological and physiological responses to flooding in seedlings of Prioria copaifera Griseb., a species that
