  • Evaluation of transgenes for stress tolerance, lignin modification, and growth enhancement in poplar

    Creator:
    Elias, Ani Anna
    Abstract:
    We evaluated genes previously identified from a large scale functional genomics screen for their potential value to help enhance carbon sequestration in planted trees. We used poplar as a model tree species because of its abundant genetic variation, ease of gene transfer, and availability of large databases for genomic, anatomical,...

  • Climate-based Seed Deployment Zones for the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    McClure, Meridith L.
    Abstract:
    Native populations of forest trees are specifically adapted to the climates they inhabit. The farther trees are moved from their local climates (i.e., as the climatic transfer distance increases), the more growth and survival tend to decrease. The transfer limit is the climatic transfer distance beyond which plantation performance is...

  • Douglas-fir Seedlings in the Pacific Northwest: The Genetics of Drought Adaptation

    Creator:
    Celer, Erda
    Abstract:
    Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is a widely distributed, ecologically important, and commercially valuable tree species in North America. However, climate change is expected to adversely impact Douglas-fir trees, and assisted migration may become necessary to lessen the effects of climate change. Because drought stress is one of the projected effects of...
