Populus balsamifera subsp. balsamifera; aboveground biomass; bioenergy; biomass production; clones; energy; growth performance; hybrids; latitude; plantations; planting; pulpwood; tree and stand measurements; trees; Sweden
Abstract:
... Although poplars are widely grown in short-rotation forestry in many countries, little is known about poplar growth performance in Sweden. In this study, above-ground biomass production was estimated for several hybrid aspen and poplar clones planted at different initial density at five locations across Sweden. Biomass assessments were based on allometric relationships between total above-ground w ...

Abstract:
... Six cores were drilled and retrieved from 186-m depth in the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory (HRL) tunnel to investigate whether indigenous biofilms develop on fracture surfaces in groundwater-conducting aquifers in granitic rock. A clone library was constructed from fracture surface material (FSM), for community composition analysis. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was applied to quantify ...
... KEY MESSAGE : There is considerable genetic gain of tree volume from clonal deployment in Norway spruce (Picea abies(L.) H. Karst) and clonal deployment will have at least 50% more or double genetic gain than the seedling deployment. CONTEXT : Genetic parameters and genetic gains for wood quality and growth traits were estimated in six large clonal progeny trials. AIMS : Develop the optimal clonal ...
... Full-sib families of Pinus sylvestris (L.) from genetically identical parent clones, grown at three geographic locations (64, 59.5, and 56 degrees N), were tested for autumn frost hardiness. At one of the locations (64 degrees N), maternal clones were grown in plots subjected to different site treatments. Progenies raised in a heated greenhouse with additional artificial light were induced to unde ...

Abstract:
... Two hybrid aspen (Populus tremula L. × P. tremuloides Michx.) trials in southern Sweden were used for studies of clonal composition in the second of two root sucker regenerations. Trial 1 was established in 1998 and originally included eight clones randomly distributed in four plots, each having 10 × 10 positions. Trial 2 was planted in 1957, with 150 seedlings from each of 25 full sib families ra ...

Abstract:
... Ash dieback damage was assessed and analysed on 16–22 year-old grafts in two ash seed orchards (Fraxinus excelsior L.). The grafts originated from 106 plus-tree clones selected from 27 stands in southern Sweden based on their phenotypes. The results obtained indicate that ash dieback disease is strongly genotypically controlled. There was considerable genotypic variation among individuals. None of ...
... Antibiotic resistance in pneumococci is due to the spread of strains belonging to a limited number of clones. The Spain⁹V-3 clone of sequence type (ST)156 is one of the most successful clones with reduced susceptibility to penicillin [pneumococci nonsusceptible to penicillin (PNSP)]. In Sweden during 2000-2003, a dramatic increase in the number of PNSP isolates was observed. Molecular characteriza ...

Abstract:
... In order to investigate whether outbreaks of vibriosis in the Baltic region were caused by the spread of certain pathogenic clones, 291 Vibrio anguillarum isolates from Finland (n = 156), Sweden (n = 88) and Denmark (n = 47) were studied with respect to serogroup, ribotype, plasmid content, and biochemical phenotypes as expressed with the PhenePlate (PhP) typing system. For comparison, 54 V. angui ...

Abstract:
... 1. Islands representing four stage classes, dated by their height above sea level, in a Baltic land uplift area were used to study genet level dynamics during colonization of the clonal moss Hylocomium splendens. Allozyme electrophoresis involving 10 polymorphic loci enabled accurate identification of 103 haplotypes from a sample of 694 shoots collected along transects across 10 islands. 2. The po ...

Abstract:
... The clonal growth pattern and demography of clonal fragments (aggregation of ramets derived from a common parent ramet) in the pseudoannual plant Trientalis europaea were studied in field conditions from 1991 to 1993. During this period the population of clonal fragments declined, with a half-life of 7.4 years. Number and size of the clonal progeny and stolon length were positively related to the ...
height; plant characteristics; Pinus contorta; clones; flowering; pruning; volume; pollen; male flowers; female flowers; seed orchards; Sweden
Abstract:
... The development of female and male flowering among 20 clones was studied in a clonal seed orchard of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm.) in central Sweden. Flowering in relation to height, crown volume, and pruning was also studied. Twelve years after grafting (7 years after field planting), female flowering averaged 43 strobili per graft while male strobili were few. Eighteen y ...
... Six groups of Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) plants with varying levels of genetic gain and unimproved local provenances were compared in four realised gain trials at four sites in central Sweden. The groups were planted separately in experimental plots and compared in terms of survival rate and height 4 years after planting, as well as survival rate, height, diameter and areal volume produc ...
clonal variation; in vitro culture; cryopreservation; seedlings; plant characteristics; height; somatic embryogenesis; Picea abies; clones; length; roots; somatic embryos; Sweden
Abstract:
... Height growth during the first and second growth periods (i.e., the June-September period in consecutive years) and intraclonal variation were assessed in 13 Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) clones propagated by somatic embryogenesis. The plants were acclimatized and grown in a greenhouse until mid-July and then transferred outdoors. The clonal mean heights after the first and second growth ...
... Differences between two subspecies ofBolboschoenus maritimus (L.)PALLA (=Scirpus maritimus L.) in different habitats (littoral and terrestrial) are partly due to variations in the buoyancy of their achenes, caused by different anatomical structure of the fruits. This hypothesis was tested by comparing fruit buoyancy and anatomy of both subspecies at several localities.Plants were sampled fromBolbo ...
... 1 Aphids, similar to all insects, are ectothermic and, consequently, are greatly affected by environmental conditions. The peach potato aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) has a global distribution, although it is not known whether populations display regional adaptations to distinct climatic zones along its distribution and vary in their ability to withstand and acclimate to temperature extremes. In th ...

... KEY MESSAGE : We show the usefulness of integrating effector screening in a breeding program and in resistance gene cloning, with Phytophthora resistance in the Swedish potato breeding clone SW93-1015 as an example. Phytophthora infestans is one of the most devastating plant pathogens worldwide. We have earlier found that the SW93-1015 potato breeding clone has an efficient resistance against P. i ...

Abstract:
... To assess the effects of cutting phenology on early growth performance of three willow clones grown under different weed treatments and planting dates, freshly harvested (non-dormant) and cold-stored (dormant) cuttings from willow clone Tora, Jorr, and Olof were planted in bucket experiment outdoors in central Sweden on five planting dates (May–June 2013) with or without a model weed (spring barle ...
... To assess the effects of propagule phenology and planting system on growth performance of three willow clones grown under different weeding regimes, a field experiment was performed in central Sweden 2014–2016. Freshly harvested (non-dormant) and cold-stored (dormant) cuttings (planted vertically) and billets (planted horizontally) from willow clones Tordis, Tora, and Jorr were planted in weeded a ...
