Research ; • Environmental, developmental and genetic factors affect variation in wood properties at the chemical, anatomical and physical levels. Here, the phenotypic variation observed along the tree stem was explored and the hypothesis tested that this variation could be the result of the differential expression of genes/proteins during wood formation. • Differentiating xylem samples of maritime pine (Pinus...
Research ; • The seasonal effect is the most significant external source of variation affecting vascular cambial activity and the development of newly divided cells, and hence wood properties. Here, the effect of edapho-climatic conditions on the phenotypic and molecular plasticity of differentiating secondary xylem during a growing season was investigated. • Wood-forming tissues of maritime pine (Pinus pinast...
A bacia do Mediterrâneo é caracterizada pelo tradicional desaparecimento da floresta devido à acção do Homem e o impacto humano tem tido influência na alteração da diversidade genética. O pinheiro bravo ocorre em populações fragmentadas na região oeste da bacia do Mediterrâneo e a sua área de distribuição tem sido alterada nos últimos séculos devido a intensa florestação, em particular no SW de França e no Noro...
“The original publication is available at/ A publicação original está disponível em: www.afs-journal.org” ; Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) is the first conifer used for reforestation in France and now covers 2.4 million ha of the Iberian Peninsula. In order to preserve the genetic resources of this economically and ecologically important species prior knowledge of the distribution of genetic diversity is ...
