Transcriptome of Two-Hybrid Poplar ( × ) During Adventitious Root Formation After Stem Cutting.

Poplar ( spp.) is an economically and ecologically important temperate tree species known for its rapid growth. Clonal propagation has facilitated genetic advancements, but it remains challenging due to substantial variations in rooting capacity among poplar species and clones.

Energy deprivation affects nitrogen assimilation and fatty acid biosynthesis leading to leaf chlorosis under waterlogging stress in the endangered Abies koreana.

Energy deprivation triggers various physiological, biochemical and molecular changes in plants under abiotic stress. We investigated the oxidative damages in the high altitude grown conifer Korean fir (Abies koreana) exposed to waterlogging stress. Our experimental results showed that waterlogging stress led to leaf chlorosis, 35 days after treatment.

Comparisons of PM mitigation with stand characteristics between evergreen Korean pine plantations and deciduous broad-leaved forests in the Republic of Korea.

Owing to industrialization and urbanization in recent decades, fine particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere has become a major environmental problem worldwide. This environmental issue pushed the use of forests as air filtering tools. However, there is a lack of continuous and long-term forest management to efficiently mitigate PM.

Short-term severe drought influences root volatile biosynthesis in eastern white pine .

Climate change-related drought stress is expected to shift carbon partitioning toward volatile organic compound (VOC) biosynthesis. The effect of drought stress on VOC synthesis remains unknown in several tree species. Therefore, we exposed eastern white pine () plants to severe drought for 32 days and performed physiological analysis (chlorophyll content, leaf water content, and root/shoot index), biochemical analysis (non-structural carbohydrates, proline, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant assay), and total root VOC analysis.

Canopy height affects the allocation of photosynthetic carbon and nitrogen in two deciduous tree species under elevated CO.

Down-regulation of leaf N and Rubisco under elevated CO (eCO) are accompanied by increased non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) due to the sink-source imbalance. Here, to investigate whether the canopy position affects the down-regulation of Rubisco, we measured leaf N, NSC and N allocation in two species with different heights at maturity [Fraxinus rhynchophylla (6.8 ± 0.

Down-regulation of photosynthesis and its relationship with changes in leaf N allocation and N availability after long-term exposure to elevated CO concentration.

Down-regulation of photosynthesis under elevated CO (eCO) concentrations could be attributed to the depletion of nitrogen (N) availability after long-term exposure to eCO (progressive nitrogen limitation, PNL) or leaf N dilutions due to excessive accumulation of nonstructural carbohydrates. To determine the mechanism underlying this down-regulation, we investigated N availability, photosynthetic characteristics, and N allocation in leaves of Pinus densiflora (shade-intolerant species, evergreen tree), Fraxinus rhynchophylla (intermediate shade-tolerant species, deciduous tree), and Sorbus alnifolia (shade-tolerant species, deciduous tree). The three species were grown under three different CO concentrations in open-top chambers, i.
