Development of Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus L.) Regeneration under a Reserve Shelterwood after Intermediate Removals and Windthrow

The Impact of White Pine (Pinus strobus) on a Mollisol After Seven Decades of Soil Development

Epicuticular Wax and White Pine Blister Rust Resistance in Resistant and Susceptible Selections of Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus).

ABSTRACT Epicuticular wax on needles was evaluated for its influence on Cronartium ribicola infection of resistant and susceptible selections of Pinus strobus. Environmental scanning electron microscopy comparisons revealed that needles from a resistant selection of eastern white pine, P327, had a significantly higher percentage of stomata that were occluded with wax, fewer basidiospores germin...

Response of Planted Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus L.) to Mechanical Release, Competition, and Drought in the Southern Appalachians

Conversion of low-qual i ty , natural mixedpinelhardwood ecosystems, containing a mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia L.) dominated understory, to more productive eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.)l mixed-hardwood systems is a common prescript ion on relat ively xeric southern Appalachian forest s i tes . We examined the ef fects of mechanical release, interspeci f ic competi t ion, and annual...

Growth of Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus L.) Related to Forest Floor Consumption by Prescribed Fire in the Southern Appalachians

Chainsaw fe l l ing , burning, and p lant ing of eastern whi te pine (Pinus s t robus L.) have been prescribed on degradedpinelhardwoodstands in the Southern Appalachians to improve overstory composi t ion and product iv i ty . The desired future condi t ion the overstory is a product ive pinelhardwood mixture, wi th white pine, which is resistant to southern pine beetle (Dendroctonus frontalis...

Characterization of pollen tube development in Pinus strobus (Eastern white pine) through proteomic analysis of differentially expressed proteins.

The differentially expressed proteins in pollen tubes indicate their specific roles in this stage of male gametophyte development. To isolate these proteins, 2-DE was done using ungerminated pollen and 2-day-old pollen tubes of Pinus strobus. Results show that 645 and 647 protein spots were clearly resolved from pollen grains and pollen tubes, respectively. Thirty-eight protein spots were expre...
