Plant non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs) belong to a complex multigenic family implicated in diverse physiological processes. However, their function and mode of action remain unclear probably because functional redundancy. Among the different roles proposed for nsLTPs, it has long been suggested that they could transport cuticular precursor across cell wall during formation cuticle, which constitutes first physical barrier plant interactions with aerial environment. Here, we took...
Abstract The rationale of this study is to compare and integrate two heterologous datasets intended unravel the spatiotemporal specificities gene expression in a rapidly growing complex organ. We implemented medium-throughput RNA situ hybridization (ISH) for 39 genes mainly corresponding cell wall proteins which we have particular interest, selected (i) on their sequence identity (24 class III peroxidase multigenic family members 15 additional used as positive controls) (ii) levels publicly...
Black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] BSP) is a boreal tree species characterized by the formation of an adventitious root system. Unlike initial roots from seed germination, gradually appear above collar, until they constitute most mature black Little known about physiological role play and their influence on growth relative to roots. We hypothesized that present advantage over in acquiring water nutrients. To test this hypothesis, absorptive capacities two systems were explored controlled...
Mast year occurrence in trees is often synchronized across large regions. In this study, we used dendrochronological methods based on cone scar characteristics tree branches order to reconstruct male and female production balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.) during the period 1988–2018. Results indicate that mast years generally occur every second can be distances >1000 km. The main predictors of current-year abundance were two previous years, which considered a proxy for resource...
Roots directly affect planted seedling adaptation to new growing conditions at reforestation sites. To test the influence of root characteristics on short-term response seedlings limiting resources (water, nutrient, or oxygen), we conducted two experiments. We compared (1) growth and physiology three types four-year-old black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) (Containerized, highly developed initial roots restricted a plug; bareroot, less but unrestricted roots; deeply-planted...
