fire, such as the New Jersey Pine Barrens, pitch pine is largely dependent on stand-replacing fire for regeneration, in part because of the prevalence of serotinous cones, which open and release seeds only when fire-generated heat melts the resin sealing cone scales (Little & Garrett 1990)....
In particular, the identification of cytochrome P450s driving the structural diversity of phytoalkaloids has remained challenging. Here, we use a combination of reverse genetics with discovery metabolomics and multivariate statistical analysis followed by in planta transient assays to investigate alkaloid ...

The PCR conditions for each locus, the method of allele identification and the size distribution of alleles and their frequencies in the Scots pine clones in this seed orchard have been described previously by Torimaru et al. (2009). Using these nine loci, the total exclusion probability of ...

The identity of seed predator species was reasonably recorded attending to the different tooth or beak marks found on predated seeds and the way they were predated10,29, which even allowed the identification of different parrot species. This was facilitated by the experience accumulated during two...
2.1.1. Preparation of Pine Cone Powder (PCP) The pine cones (PCs) were collected from pine trees located in Mila, in the eastern region of Algeria. To prepare the coagulant, the PCs were dried in an oven (Carbolite Ltd. Type AX120: Hope Valley, UK) for 24 h at 60 °C, cooled ...
Molecular identification of F. circinatum can be carried out by conventional or real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), directly in planta, in soil, or after trapping airborne propagules. Over years, several tests have been published, with different objectives. Ramsfield et al. [161] developed...
Apart from health aspects, lipids in pine nuts are of special importance due to their use in identification of species causing the syndrome. Senter et al. [49], in their gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry experiment, suggested that phenolic acids in pine nuts (1.37 µg g−1) are...
(DEGs) between normal branches and polycone branches were significantly up-regulated in sex-reversed polycone branches [11]. These studies shed light on the problems of the reproductive biology of Korean pine, including ovule abortion and poor fertilization. Therefore, it may be possible to solve...
