Abstract:: ... This review critically examines the role of boron (B) in forests in view of recent findings on B nutrition and the continuing occurrence of B deficiency. Many perceptions about the role of B in plants and its uptake and mobility have been altered since the last review on B in forest trees in 1990. Now there is evidence for a fundamental role of B in the formation of the pectic structure in primary ...

Abstract:: ... Wood anatomical characteristics of twenty-nine 6-year-old Pinus radiata D. Don trees, selected to represent the extremes of intraring checking, were assessed with SilviScan. Derived ring-level summary variables were calculated from the SilviScan pith-to-bark wood property traces, based on ring means, standard deviations, and quantiles. Incidence of checking was assessed on discs that had been oven ...

Abstract:: ... Host-pathogen interactions that may lead to a competitive co-evolution of virulence and resistance mechanisms present an attractive system to study molecular evolution because strong, recent (or even current) selective pressure is expected at many genomic loci. However, it is unclear whether these selective forces would act to preserve existing diversity, promote novel diversity, or reduce linked ...

Abstract:: ... Pinus radiata D. Don trees from six clones, grown at initial spacings of 2500 stemsha⁻¹ and 833 stemsha⁻¹ were destructively harvested. For these trees wood properties were measured on radial slices sampled at a height of 1.4m above the ground. Relative to wide spacing, close initial stand spacing significantly reduced microfibril angle (MFA) and ring width and significantly increased dynamic modu ...

Abstract:: ... Association studies have emerged as a powerful tool for identification of markers associated with quantitative traits in forest trees. The cytosolic enzyme uridine 5′ diphosphate-glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH) converts UDP-glucose to UDP-glucuronate and affects cell wall formation in higher plants. Here, we used association genetics to identify UDP-glucose dehydrogenase (PtUGDH) allelic variation th ...
