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 ...
Volume Gains of Rooted Loblolly Pine Clones at Age 10 in Florida and Alabama
(2003)
An estimate of the growth potential of clonal lines produced from elite crosses compared to trees grown from seed is needed to justify clonal forestry programs. A series of age 10 loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) rooted ...
Antibiotics Effects on the Elimination of Agrobacterium tumefaciens from Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda L.) Zygotic Embryo Explants and on Transgenic Plant Regeneration
(2003)
Three antibiotics were evaluated for their effects on the elimination of Agrobacterium tumefaciens during the genetic transformation of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) using mature zygotic embryos as targets. Agrobacterium ...
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 ...
Characterization of a Bacterial Contaminant in Loblolly Pine Tissue Culture
(2003)
Bacterial contamination of immature seed explants can decrease the efficiency in initiating and establishing pine embryogenic cultures. A type of contaminant commonly observed surrounding the megagametophyte explant of ...
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, ...
