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 ... -
Progress with American Chestnut Somatic Embryogenesis
(2003)American chestnut (Castanea dentata), once the dominant forest species of the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States, was devastated during the early twentieth century by the introduction of the chestnut blight ... -

Rooting Cuttings of Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubra L.)
(2003)Several techniques have been used experimentally to vegetatively propagate northern red oak (Quercus rubra L.), including: 1) rooting juvenile softwood cuttings in intermittent mist, 2) rooting shoots originating from ... -
Slash and Loblolly Pine Productivity on Reclaimed Titanium Mined Lands in Northeast Florida
(2003)Titanium mining often occurs on forestlands that previously supported productive pine plantations. The productivity of reclaimed mined lands is uncertain, based on observations that tree height on reclaimed lands is less, ... -
Third-Cycle Breeding Strategy for Slash Pine by the Cooperative Forest Genetics Research Program
(2003)The Cooperative Forest Genetics Research Program (CFGRP) third-cycle slash pine tree improvement program will span 11 years (2003-2013), involving a breeding population of 360 third-cycle selections and 20 full-sib (FS) ... -
Time Trend and Genetic Difference of Rust Infection in a Diallel Loblolly Pine Population Across Four Tests
(2003)Loblolly pines from a six-parent half diallel mating were planted in a randomized complete block field design at four test sites. Fusiform rust infection (gall presence / absence) was recorded annually through age 8. A ... -
Top Grafting Longleaf x Slash Pine F1 Hybrids on Mature Longleaf and Slash Pine Interstocks
(2003)Top grafting is used to accelerate the breeding cycle of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L). Scions, collected from seedlings as young as 1 year from seed, are grafted onto mature interstocks of the same or a related species. ... -
Transgenic Loblolly Pine Trees from Diverse Elite Families
(2003)Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) has been the focus of genetic improvement for nearly 100 years because of the value of this species to the forestry industry. The application of gene transfer technology to loblolly pine ...
