Age-related changes in the structure of shoots are described for a 6-m Canary Island pine tree (Pinus canariensis C. Sm.) growing in a greenhouse. These changes in the structure of monopodial shoots of the crown have a periodic character and are manifested in the form of a cyclic rejuvenation.
Pinus massoniana is a recalcitrant tree species for rooting in vitro. We rejuvenated 26-year-old P. massoniana trees by successive grafting. Rooting rates of rejuvenated shoots were > 83.1% after rooting induction. We compared endogenous levels of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA),
Dehydroabietic acid (DAA) is a naturally occurring diterpene resin acid of confers, such as pinus species (P. densiflora, P. sylvestris) and grand fir (Abies grandis), and it induces various biological actions including antimicrobial, antiulcer, and cardiovascular activities. The cellular targets
High resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis, with isoelectric focusing in the first dimension and electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate in thin acrylamide gels in the second dimension, has been applied to separate the proteins of single meristems (200-300 microns) from Sequoiadendron
Essential oils are volatile compounds extracted from various plants by distillation, hydrodiffusion or compression. In recent years, the use of essential oils has gained popularity. Many pharmaceutical, cosmetic, sanitary, food industry and agriculture studies have revealed that essential oils exert
Wildfire is the principal disturbance regime in northern Boreal forests, where it has important rejuvenating effects on soil properties and encourages tree seedling regeneration and growth. One possible agent of this rejuvenation is fire-produced charcoal, which adsorbs secondary metabolites such as
