Field Performance of Shortleaf Pine Half-Sib Families Though 10 Years in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas
(2003)Shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata Mill.) seeds collected from six half-sib families were grown as both bareroot and container stock and outplanted on two sites in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas. Survival and growth were ... -
Field Selection of American Sweetgum Transformed for Herbicide Resistance
(2003)One American sweetgum clone from an open-pollinated parent was transformed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens containing the gene for acetolactate synthase (ALS), and regenerated through organogenesis. Seventy independently ... -
Fourth-Year Results from a Clonal Test of Loblolly Pine
(2003)In November and December 1998, two experimental plantings were established using rooted cuttings from 450 clones of eight unrelated full-sib families of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.). Clones from four of the families (282 ... -
Functional Genomics Pipeline in Loblolly Pine and Eastern Cottonwood
(2003)Advances in transformation technology allow functional genomics techniques that are commonly applied to Arabidopsis thaliana to be considered for tree species. ArborGen is applying the principles of high throughput functional ... -
Genetic Analysis of a Disease Resistance Gene from Loblolly Pine
(2003)Rapid advances in molecular genetics provide great opportunities for studies of host defense mechanisms. Examination of plant responses to disease at the cellular and molecular level permits both discovery of changes in ... -
Genetic Variation in Stone Pine Half-Sib Progenies
(2003)Total height, annual height growth, root collar diameter, total number of branches and total number of buds around the leader bud were recorded at age 6. The experimental material was included 136 half-sib families originating ... -
Genetic Variation of Juvenile Wood Properties in a Loblolly Pine Diallel Test
(2003)The reduced rotation age for loblolly pine plantations has resulted in an increased percentage of juvenile wood. Juvenile wood has lower wood density, shorter tracheid length and higher lignin content than mature wood. The ... -
Geographic Information Systems(GIS) and Virtual Reality Models (VRM) to Improve the Analysis of Genetic and Silvicultural Trials
(2003)GIS systems have become core tools for mapping needs in forestry. During the last decade software platforms have expanded the basic capabilities of data storage and retrieval in map formats. Complex overlay procedures, ... -
High Efficiency Transformation of Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) Using Green Fluorescent Protein as a Vital Screenable Marker
(2003)An engineered green fluorescent protein (m-gfp5-ER) gene under the control of the 35S Cauliflower Mosaic Virus promoter was used to develop a facile and rapid loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) transformation system via ... -
Implementation of Third-Cycle Loblolly Pine Breeding Plan - N. C. State University-Industry Cooperative Tree Improvement Program
(2003)The N. C. State University-Industry Cooperative Tree improvement Program has officially completed two cycles of loblolly pine breeding and testing program. As the third cycle selections are being completed, an efficient, ... -
Loblolly Pine Karyotype Using FISH and DAPI Positive Banding
(2003)A loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) karyotype has been developed based on fluorescent insitu hybridization (FISH) using cyto-molecular landmarks including plant telomere repeat, 18S-28S rDNA and 5S rDNA probes and DAPI positive ... -
Microprojectile-Mediated Genetic Transformation of Embryogenic Sweetgum Cultures
(2003)With its rapid biomass accumulation, sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) may be particularly suitable for phytoremediation purposes, especially if it can be engineered with genes that enhance tolerance and/or accumulation ... -
Molecular Pathology of Pitch Canker Disease
(2003)The inciting agent of pitch canker disease in Pinus species is the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Fusarium circinatum (teleomorph Gibberella circinata). Pitch canker disease has been identified in the southeastern United ... -
New Model for Moving Forward with Marker-based Selection
(2003)Increasing the frequency of favorable alleles in populations is the goal of tree breeding based on an additive genetic model. Conceptually, marker based selection (MBS) combined with accelerated breeding offers a more ...
