Seasonal variation of western white pine (Pinus monticola D. Don) foliage proteins.

Recently, a western white pine protein, Pin m III, was shown to be associated with overwintering and frost hardiness of western white pine foliage. To examine whether Pin m III is directly involved in frost hardiness by functioning as an antifreeze protein, work is underway to clone the gene encoding this protein and to assess the function of this gene in freezing tolerance by incorporating the...

Fire history differences in adjacent Jeffrey pine and upper montane forests in the eastern Sierra Nevada

Fire history and forest structural characteristics of adjacent Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi) and upper montane forests was investigated in the eastern Sierra Nevada at the University of California Valentine Natural Reserve. Jeffrey pine forests had lower canopy cover, higher amounts of fine fuels, and higher shrub cover when compared to upper montane forest that were dominated by red fir (Abies...

Part IX . A New Diterpene Alcohol from cyptomria D . Don

In continuation of earlier works1) an unknown compound, C20H340, m・P・ 182~183。, [α]15D +14.52°,obtained from the neutral portion of wooe resin of Cryptmeria japonica D. Don, has been examined. In part VIII1) of this series, an isolation of this compound has been described in detail. This compound, called phyllocladanol, is not apparent to have been previously isolated. Phyllocladanol is colorle...
