Tree seedling flooding tolerance for 22 species was assessed under controlled field condi­ tions. Initial heights under control (freely draining soil, n = 20 per species) and flooded (stand­ ing water, depth = 10 cm, n = 20 per species) conditions were measured in March 1990. Sur­ vival, height and diameter growth were determined after 120 days. Recovery from flooding effects was assessed in th...

This paper is to give an outline of the tree biotechnology research in South Korea. Tree Breeding, we call Traditional Tree Breeding later compared to Tree Biotechnology, started in 1954 in South Korea. Tree Biotechnology Research started as Tissue culture in the late 1970 in South Korea. Micropropagation was the first field adopted. Embryo culture, Bud culture, Callus culture, Cell culture are...

El desarrollo de edificios tobáceos origen fluvial se asocia a menudo con fases cálidas y húmedas cuaternarias son comúnmente empleados como indicadores climáticos. En el presente trabajo estudia depósito tobáceo Holoceno del Nogal Batán, situado en valle río Las Parras (Cordillera Ibérica, NE España), bajo una perspectiva cronológica, estratigráfica palinológica. La acumulación tobácea 8,2 m e...

4-Coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL) genes are critical for the biosynthesis of plant phenylpropanoids. Here we identified 20 4CL genes in the genomes of two desert poplars (Populus euphratica and P. pruinosa) and salt-sensitive congener (P. trichocarpa), but 12 in Salix suchowensis (Salix willow). Phylogenetic analyses clustered all Salicaceae 4CL genes into two clades, and one of them (corresponding ...

(Phytochemistry, 26, 2418 (1987)) Acylated Luteolin Glucosides from Salix gitgiana. MIzuo MIzuNo*, MAsAyA KATo, MuNEKAzu IINuMA, TosHIyuKI TANAKA, ' ARIKA KIMuRA, HIRoyosHI OHAsHI, HIDEKI SAKAi Besides apigenin and luteolin 7-glucoside, four novel glucosides acylated with acetic, trans-cinnamic, P-coumaric and ferulic acids, respectively were isolated from the leaves of Salix gitgiana (Salicace...

Canopy-forming shrubs are reported to be increasing at sites around the circumpolar Arctic. Our results indicate expansion in canopy cover and height of willows on Herschel Island located at 70 degrees north on the western Arctic coast of the Yukon Territory. We examined historic photographs, repeated vegetation surveys, and conducted monitoring of long-term plots and found evidence of increase...
