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 ... -
On the Origin of Fusiform Rust Resistance in Loblolly Pine
(2003)Studies of geographic variation in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) have shown that seed sources from the western (generally west of the Mississippi River) and the northeastern part of the natural distribution are relatively ... -
Performance Effects of Outside Pollen on Seed Orchards In and Out of the Genetic Source Area
(2003)Contamination by outside pollen sources is recognized as a serious problem that reduces the genetic gain obtained from open-pollinated seed orchards. A mitigating tactic is to locate an orchard outside the source area into ... -
Performance of Nuttall Oak (Quercus texana Buckl.) Provenances in the Western Gulf Region
(2003)Three series of three tests each of Nuttall oak (Quercus texana Buckl. formally Q. nuttallii Palmer) were established by the Western Gulf Forest Tree Improvement Program at three locations: Desha and Lonoke Counties in ... -
Pioneering Tree Improvement in Oklahoma
(2003)The pioneering tree improvement work in Oklahoma started in 1965 when Clayton Posey moved from Auburn University to Oklahoma State University. Clayton was hired by Glen Durrell (Department Head) to fill a teaching/research ...
