Biochemical markers of quality in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedlings : the relationship between survival, root growth potential, freezing and drying damage, and time of lift

Creator:

Hipkins, Valerie D.

Abstract:

The physiological condition of a seedling often determines its ability to survive when planted. However, physiological damage is difficult to determine from external measurement or observation, because a healthy looking seedling can be of poor quality (quality is defined as the ability of a seedling to survive when outplanted). Methods...

Repeated sequences associated with inversions and length mutations in the chloroplast genomes of Pseudotsuga and Pinus

Creator:

Hipkins, Valerie D.

Abstract:

To help understand the mechanisms of conifer chloroplast genome evolution, we characterized the nucleotide sequences of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesiz) and Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) chioroplast DNA that are associated with a length mutation hotspot and inversion. The chloroplast DNA ofthese two conifers are characterized by shared large inversions that are...
