A chronosequence of wood decomposition in the boreal forests of Russia

Creator:

Yatskov, Mikhail A.

Abstract:

Coarse woody debris (CWD) decomposition in the Russian boreal forests of the southern taiga zone was studied at four sites located near St. Petersburg in Northwestern Russia, Krasnoyarsk in Eastern Siberia, lrkutsk in the Baikal region, and Khabarovsk in the Russian Far East. This study was part of a broader...

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,...

Identifying candidate genes associated with cold adaptation in Douglas-fir using DNA microarrays

Creator:

Howe, Dana Kathryn

Abstract:

In forest trees from temperate and boreal regions, cold acclimation is an important adaptive trait that involves changes in gene expression and physiology. Genecological, quantitative genetic, and QTL studies have been used to study the genetics of cold acclimation in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), but the genes responsible for...
