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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Conservation Efforts for Pinus maximinoi in Mesoamerica and Its Potential as a Hybrid with Pinus taeda in South America
(2003)
Seed samples were collected from 25 populations of Pinus maximinoi from Guerrero, Mexico to central Nicaragua and established in provenance tests in Brazil, Colombia and South Africa by the CAMCORE Cooperative. The trials ...
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 ...
Use of Site Factor Studies in Determining Environmental Variables That May be Important for Genotype by Environment Interaction
(2003)
The environmental variables important in determining genotype x environment interaction with Pinus patula in Southern Africa were investigated using a �site factor study� approach. Several previous such studies with P. ...
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 ...
