To determine which isolates will most rapidly replace
Phellinus weirii in stumps and roots, Trichoderma spp. were
isolated from P. weirii-infested stumps and roots, identified, and
examined for growth rates and lethal effects on P. weirii in vitro.
Phellinus weirii-infested Douglas-fir stumps and stump roots
were sampled for microorganisms by...
Our goal was to develop knowledge that will enable insertion of foreign genes into Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] trees. This required improvement of a tissue culture system for producing adventitious shoots from cotyledons, and study of factors affecting gene delivery, expression, and analysis. Administering a short-duration, concentrated liquid pulse...
