The filbert is propagated by layerage and a faster method is
needed to keep pace with the rapidly expanding industry and the demand
for new cultivars. Propagation by seedage and graftage were the
two methods selected for evaluation in the research. Seed experiments

The use of native plants in restoration and afforestation has increased worldwide as their benefits to habitat quality, ecosystem services and local community well-being become widely known. In many restoration and afforestation sites, the most cost-effective and efficient way to establish plants is to use seedlings. Unfortunately, there is a...
A rapid and sensitive HPLC method for quantifying both the
reduced and oxidized forms of glutathione simultaneously in woody
plant tissues was developed. This method was applicable to a variety
of woody plant species and different tissues. Total glutathione
content in the bark tissue of seven of the woody plant...
I studied the water relations traits, twig conductivity, C'3 isotopic composition,
and wood density of three conifer and five angiosperm species in western Oregon. This
study took place from spring 2002 to fall 2003 on four sites. Species were selected to
represent the diversity of drought tolerance of woody plants...
