Natural variation of the metabolome Pinus pinaster was studied to improve understanding its role in adaptation process and phenotypic diversity. The metabolomes needles apical basal section buds were analysed ten provenances P. pinaster, selected from France, Spain Morocco, grown a common garden for 5 years. employment complementary mass spectrometry techniques (GC-MS LC-Orbitrap-MS) together with bioinformatics tools allowed reliable quantification 2403 molecular masses. analysis showed...
Abstract A decade of genetic association studies in multiple organisms suggests that most complex traits are polygenic; is, they have a architecture determined by numerous loci, each with small effect‐size. Thus, determining the degree polygenicity and its variation across traits, environments time is crucial to understand basis phenotypic variation. We applied multilocus approaches estimate fitness‐related long‐lived plant ( Pinus pinaster Ait., maritime pine) analyse this years. evaluated...
Abstract Background Predicting the adaptability of forest tree populations under future climates requires a better knowledge both adaptive significance and evolvability measurable key traits. Phenotypic plasticity, standing genetic variation degree phenotypic integration shape actual population structure, but empirical estimations in species are still extremely scarce. We analysed 11 maritime pine covering distribution range (119 families 8 trees/family, ca. 1300 trees) common garden...
We compared the performance of mycorrhiza-inoculated and non-inoculated radiata pine (Pinus D. Don) seedlings in two field studies. In first study, aboveground growth 2-year-old container-grown trees was after planting areas that differed water availability. Mycorrhizal inoculation significantly improved 2 years both areas, especially at drier site. second influence Rhizopogon roseolus (Corda ex Sturm) Th. Fries Scleroderma citrinum Pers. on xylem potential hydraulic conductance soil–root...
Understanding the survival capacity of forest trees to periods severe water stress could improve knowledge adaptive potential different species under future climatic scenarios. In long lived organisms, like trees, combination induced osmotic treatments and field testing can elucidate role drought tolerance during early stages establishment, most critical in life species. We performed a Polyethylene glycol-osmotic experiment evaluated two common garden experiments (xeric mesic sites) test for...
Abstract The feasibility of using plantation‐grown biomass to fuel bioenergy plants is in part dependent on the ability predict capacity surrounding forests maintain a sustainable supply. In this study, potential productivity Eucalyptus nitens (Deane and Maiden) Maiden plantations grown for region north‐west Spain was quantified 3‐ PG process‐based model. model calibrated detailed measurements from five permanent sample plots validated data thirty‐five additional plots; both sets represented...
There is a concern on how emerging pests and diseases will affect the distribution range adaptability of their host species, especially due to different conditions derived from climate change growing globalization. Fusarium circinatum, which causes pitch canker disease in Pinus an exotic pathogen recent introduction Spain that threatens its maritime pine (P. pinaster) stands. To predict impact this have we examine resistance traits genetic architecture. Resistance phenotyping was done clonal...
Life histories in Mediterranean pines are well known to be closely related different fire and disturbance regimes. Variation these factors is also reflected reproductive strategies at the specific intraspecific level. Specifically, onset of reproduction a crucial stage for any organism because it has profound implications on fitness. In this paper we focused variation plasticity threshold size allocation two pines, assessed reproduction, when trade-offs between growth expected greater....
In this work an improved micropropagation protocol for Pinus pinaster Ait. using isolated cotyledons is presented. The variables studied during bud induction were embryo preculture, type and concentration of cytokinin influence illumination culture conditions. Shoot development proliferation was obtained by transfer to hormone-free medium with activated charcoal. This also describes a procedure successful continuous multiplication axillary shoots brachyblasts formed shoot development. Based...
