Pinus densiflora seedlings were inoculated with three indigenous ectomycorrhizal fungi (Cenococcum geophilum, Rhizopogon roseolus and Russula densifolia) in single-, two-, and three-species treatments. After 8 months, the colonization rates of each ectomycorrhizal species, seedling growth and the nutrition were assessed in each treatment. P. densiflora seedlings inoculated with different ECM sp...

This paper proposes a non-contact, online, rapid, and non-destructive measurement method of Pinus densiflora S.et Z. (Pinus densiflora) dimension lumber based on an algorithm maximizing recovery by minimizing the enclosure rectangle fitting area. The takes full influence multiple factors, such as difficulty in measuring large-size lumber, conveying deflection, etc. into account. Image splicing,...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate wound healing effects of Arnebia densiflora (Nordm.) Ledeb. root extracts on rat palatal mucosa. METHODS A 10-mm full-thickness mucosal wounds were created on midline of rats' palate by using scalpel. In the experimental groups, a ten percent extract of A. densiflora roots was topically applied once a day as ointment on the wounds. After wou...

This study reconsidered the cause of forest decline of Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc.) in the Seto Inland Sea area, western Japan. Although the decline in pine forests was attributed to pine-wood nematode infection, the stress of air pollution was also shown to have negative physiological effects on pine needles. Secondary pollutants related to NOx accumulate in the morning ...

The importance of a quantitative assessment C and N contents dead wood is increasing in forest ecosystems. This study aimed to determine the density carbon (C) nitrogen (N) status with decay class for three pine species (Pinus densiflora, Pinus rigida, koraiensis) southern Korea. concentration was significantly different among (P. 50.31%; P. koraiensis, 47.22%; 44.96%), whereas did not affect (...

This study proposes the use of genetic analysis as a complementary method for species identification in genus Pinus, particularly cases where anatomical is challenging. Pinus were grouped based on similarities, and efficacy using ycf1b, which most variable identification, rbcL, suggested DNA barcode land plants, was evaluated within each group. Sequences obtained from National Center Biotechnol...
