Abstract:
... Cryopreservation has become an essential tool for operational application of forest tree embryogenic cultures, due to the long evaluation periods needed for trees regenerated from these cultures. Five yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) and seven sweetgum (Liquidambar spp.) embryogenic culture lines were stored in liquid nitrogen for 48 hours, after which they were thawed and tested for regrow ...

Abstract:
... Cultures of the Formosan sweetgum (Liquidambar formosana Hance) were established from axillary buds of intact plants and from petiole segments of in vitro grown leaves. Petiole segments were generally slower than axillary buds to form multiple shoot cultures. Thidiazuron in combination with 6-benzylaminopurine produced on average up to 9.4 shoots per explant. Shoot elongation was significantly aff ...

Abstract:
... Lymantria xylina Swinhoe (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) is a serious defoliator of hardwood and fruit trees in Taiwan. The larvae of L. xylina feed on >63 species of host plants, belonging to 29 families. Because a large number of larvae are needed for the production of nucleopolyhedrosis virus (NPV) or other related studies, the development of a suitable artificial diet is very important for the mas ...

Abstract:
... Conventional breeding of Chinese sweetgum is constrained by its long-reproductive cycle, which includes long-juvenile periods, and by its complex reproductive characteristics, including self-incompatibility and a high degree of heterozygosis. Like other tree species, sweetgum has undergone relatively little domestication; the methodology described here in illustrates the possibility of transformin ...

Autochthonous sources of organic matter appear to make a minor contribution to food webs in temperate forest streams, but their roles in supporting consumer biomass in tropical lotic environments have received little attention. We investigated the importance of autochthonous and allochthonous food sources to Brotia hainanensis (Pachychilidae), a detritivorous and algivorous snail common in Hong ...
