Basidiomycetous macrofungi play important roles in maintaining forest ecosystems via carbon cycling and the mobilization of nitrogen and phosphorus. To understand the impact of human activity on macrofungi, an ongoing project at the Korea National Arboretum is focused on surveying the macrofungi in unexploited areas. Mt. Oseo was targeted in this survey because the number of visitors to this de...

Various species of common box (Buxus) are cultivated in the Arboretum of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Mlyňany under the same soil and climatic conditions; consequently, the examination of alkaloids produced by those plants is of chemotaxonomical importance. From this locality we investigated so far alkaloids from Buxus sempervirens L.[l,2], B. microphylla SIEB, et ZUCC. var. sinica REHD. e...

Identifying tree attributes from aerial photos or high resolution satellite images is difficult due to shading effects and image distortion. This research employed small footprint Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) data to derive precise tree crown structural parameters. LIDAR provides three-dimensional point distributions which captures structural measurements of trees and other objects. The ...

Recent All America Selections (AAS) winners are promoted through a nationwide display garden program. The association of this author with the display garden program was discussed previously (Durham and Dutton, 2001). Display gardens have been grown at both the University of Kentucky–LexingtonFayette County Urban Government Arboretum (hereafter, the Arboretum), the Horticultural Research Farm in...

TIFY proteins are plant-specific proteins containing TIFY, JAZ, PPD and ZML subfamilies. A total of 50, 54 and 28 members of the TIFY gene family in three cultivated cotton species-Gossypium hirsutum, Gossypium barbadense and Gossypium arboretum-were identified, respectively. The results of phylogenetic analysis showed that these TIFY genes were divided into eight clusters. The different cluste...
