Carbohydrate transfer through root grafts to support shaded trees.
We investigated whether root grafts between lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Dougl. ex. Loud.) trees can transfer sufficient carbohydrate reserves from a source tree to a grafted sink tree to affect the vigor of trees growing in a light-limited environment. Eleven plots were established in early spring and two grafted tree pairs and two independent non-grafted trees were selected a...
متن کاملWhy should trees have natural root grafts?
Natural root grafts occur in many tree species, but this widespread phenomenon has received only little attention. For many years, physiological aspects such as transfer of organic materials, water and minerals were considered their major significance. Better anchorage in flooded areas or in windy habitats was also proposed to select for this character. I propose that root grafts provide severa...
متن کاملAnimals bearing malignant grafts reject normal grafts that express through gene transfer the same antigen
Breaking the state of immunological unresponsiveness of tumor-bearing individuals to cancer is a prerequisite for active or passive tumor-specific immunotherapy. To study this problem the immunogenic MHC class I antigen, K216 was transfected into a progressor tumor. The transfected tumors were regularly rejected by normal mice but grew progressively in mice bearing nontransfected tumors. In add...
متن کاملAdenovirus-mediated Gene Transfer to Liver Grafts
Background. Adenoviral gene therapy in liver transplantation has many potential applications, but current vector delivery methods to grafts lack efficiency and require high titers. In this study, we attempted to improve gene delivery efficacy using three different delivery methods to liver grafts with adenoviral vector encoding the LacZ marker gene (AdLacZ). Methods. AdLacZ was delivered to col...
متن کاملVerified Root-Balanced Trees
Andersson introduced general balanced trees, search trees based on the design principle of partial rebuilding: perform update operations naively until the tree becomes too unbalanced, at which point a whole subtree is rebalanced. We define and analyze a functional version of general balanced trees which we call root-balanced trees. Using a lightweight model of execution time, amortized logarith...
