Forest tree biotechnology.
The past year has seen the fruits of biotechnological manipulation of forest trees approach commercial application. Advances in somatic embryogenesis have brought mass clonal propagation of the top commercial trees closer to reality, and efficient gene transfer systems have been developed for a number of conifers and hardwoods. Radical alterations in the quantity and quality of lignin in wood h...
متن کاملInfluence of leaf angle on photosynthesis and the xanthophyll cycle in the tropical tree species Acacia crassicarpa.
We examined the effects of artificially altering leaf angle of the tropical tree species Acacia crassicarpa (A. Cunn. ex Benth., Fabaceae) on light interception, leaf temperature and photosynthesis in the wet and dry seasons of tropical Australia. Reducing leaf angle from the natural near-vertical angle (90 degrees ) to 67.5, 45, 22.5 and 0 degrees greatly increased light interception and leaf ...
متن کاملEcological Impact on Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycling of a Widespread Fast-growing Leguminous Tropical Forest Plantation Tree Species, Acacia mangium
Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is one of the major pathways of N input to forest ecosystems, enriching N availability, particularly in lowland tropics. Recently there is growing concern regarding the wide areas of fast-growing leguminous plantations that could alter global N2O emissions. Here, we highlight substantially different N and phosphorus utilization and cycling at a plantation of Acacia m...
متن کاملTree Omics and Biotechnology in China
Omics is becoming a comprehensive approach to study the molecules in living organisms. In this paper, the progress of research in tree genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and other biotechnologies in China is summarized. Genomics, including functional genomics, structural genomics and comparative genomics, have been studied since the 1990s and some important achievements have be...
متن کاملMangrove endophyte promotes reforestation tree (Acacia polyphylla) growth
Mangroves are ecosystems located in the transition zone between land and sea that serve as a potential source of biotechnological resources. Brazil's extensive coast contains one of the largest mangrove forests in the world (encompassing an area of 25,000km2 along all the coast). Endophytic bacteria were isolated from the following three plant species: Rhizophora mangle, Laguncularia racemosa a...
