Monoterpene differentiation in relation to the morphology of Pinus culminicola,Pinus nelsonii,Pinus pinceana and Pinus maximartinezii

Wood from 92 trees of Pinus culminicola, Pinus nelsonii, Pinus pinceana and Pinus maximartinezii from nine localities and oleoresin from several trees of Pinus nelsonii from one Iocality were analyzed for monoterpenes by gas liquid chromatography. Monoterpenes of Pinus nelsonii were composed mainly of α- and β-pinenes, while the main constituent of the monoterpenes of Pinus pinceana and Pinus maximartinezii was limonene, present in amounts of about 90 percent. The similarity in composition of the monoterpenes of Pinus pinceana and Pinus maximartinezii strongly supports the contention of Rzedowski [12] of the close evolutionary relation of the two pines. Pinus culminicola wood produced monoterpenes composed mainly of α-pinene, sabinene, terpinolene and limonene, with other monoterpenes occurring sporadically in sizeabie amounts. The variability between individual populations was relatively high, probably due to their long-time isolation by the intervening low-elevation barriers. Appreciable differences were found in compositions of monoterpenes from stem and from twigs of Pinus culrninicola.     

A Study on the Quantitative Relationship between Pinus Pollen in Surface Sample and Pinus Vegetation

Based on percentages of Pinus pollen in surface samples and that of Pinto vegetation, the data indicates that, in Pinus forest its pollen is more then 90% of total tree pollen, while in non-pine area it is usually less than 30%. The factors influencing dispersal of the Pinus pollen, besides production, are air currents and landform. In the Pinus mixed forest the behavior of associate tree pollen has great effect on statistical result of Pin,ts pollen percentage. To estimate quantitatively the relationship between Pinus plant and its pollen, two curves are fitted by powet regression. Although Pinus pollen has great productivity and complex dispersal characteristics, the relationships between Pinus trees and Pinus pollen shown in our data are relatively consistant.

Late Embryogeny of Pinus bungeana

Except for Pseudolarix, which is endemic to China, the late embryogeny of ten genera of Pinaceae has been reported before in the diffferent degree. Among them the mature embryos of Keteleeria evelyniana are different from those of the others in having well-developed cotyledons and a very short hypocotyl. As far as information we have is concerned there are three types in structure of the mature embryos of Pinaceae. The first type occurs in Keteleeria and Cedrus, which have very well-developed cotyledons; the second one appears in Picea and Larix, in which the hypocotyl and the root cap are equal in length; the third one, to which Pinus bungeana belongs, includes all the other genera of Pinaceae. The last type is of a prominent hypocotyl in the mature embryos. It is interesting to note that the mature embryos of Torreya grandis and Keteleeria evelyniana are very similar in having specially developed cotyledons, while the proportions of the various tissues in the mature embryo in Fokienia of Cupressaceae as well as Taxus and Amentotaxus of Taxaceae are similar to those of Pinus bungeana. The pith and secretory cells are usually present in the mature embryos of Pinaceae. Although no pith is present in those of Metasequoia and Taiwania of Taxodiaceae, the secretory cells generally occur in their embryos in Fokienia of Cupressaceae and Taxus and Pseudotaxus of Taxaceae, neither pith nor secretory cells are present in their hypocotyl. From above, the structures of mature embryos among Pinaceae, Taxodiaceae and Cupressaceae are different from one another to some degree. The most outstanding feature of the matur embryos in Pinus bungeana is that the shoot apex is very well developed, with a high H/D ratio, about 0.83 on an average, even up to 0.96 in some case. Above-mentioned H/D ratio of Pinus bungeana is rare in the mature embryos of conifers. Gifford (1943) reports that the average H/D ratio of shoot apex of Ephedra altissima is from 0.44 to 0.68, while in 5-year-old branch apex of Pinus ponderosa, the average ratio is about 0.25, and that in l5-year-old branch apex is about 0.35. For the apex of the dormant short shoots of Pinus densiflora the average ratio is about 0.35, but that of shoot apex is about 0.52 when new buds have just formed. According to the present data about shoot apices of both branches and mature embryos, the average ratio of shoot apex of mature embryos in Pinus bungeana is the largest one. From the present investigation the shoot apex of mature embryos of Pinus bungeana exhibits four distinct tissue zones, i.e. the apical initials, the central mother cell zone, the peripheral tissue zone and the rib meristem. It is worthy of note that the shoot apex of Pinus strobus may be divided into five zones, including transition zone between central mother cells and rib meristem (Owston, 1968). Four zones are recognized in the shoot apex of Pinus lambertiana and P. ponderosa, without transition one (Sacher, 1954). From cytological zonation, the shoot apex of mature embryos in Pinus bungeana is rather similar to that of Pinuslambertiana and P. ponderosa.     

Pinus baileyi (section Pinus, Pinaceae) from the Paleogene of Idaho, USA

Pinus baileyi from the Paleogene of Idaho was initially related to the bristlecone pine P. longaeva (subgen. Strobus, sect. Parrya, subsect. Balfourianae) from western North America. Unlike the centromucronate condition in P. longaeva, P. baileyi cones have raised umbos that are excentromucronate, i.e., the mucro positioned in the upper umbo field above the keel. Cone size and scale morphology shows that P. baileyi more closely resembles excentromucronate pines of subsects. Halepenses and Pinus sensu Gernandt et al. (2005, Taxon 54: 29-42), but is most similar to P. resinosa, P. kesiya, and P. massoniana of subsect. Pinus. Morphologically, P. baileyi resembles the fossil species P. princetonensis and P. arnoldii from the Eocene Princeton Chert, British Columbia, Canada. Pinus baileyi extends the western North American range of ovulate cones resembling subsect. Pinus from the middle Eocene of British Columbia, Canada and Washington, USA to the Oligocene of Idaho, USA. Pinus baileyi, and possibly P. princetonensis and P. arnoldii, indicates the presence of early populations of subsect. Pinus-type pines in the western cordillera of North America, raising the possibility that P. resinosa and P. tropicalis may have evolved from this group.     

受害马尾松、湿地松挥发性化学物质的释放

萜烯类化合物是针叶树防御昆虫为害的重要组分。对盆栽马尾松、湿地松进行未受害、接虫咬食为害、人工剪叶处理后,用TCT-GC-M S分析了叶片挥发物的成分及相对含量。结果表明:人工剪叶后马尾松挥发物相对含量除α-蒎烯降低外,其余都有所升高,但挥发性化学物质相对含量出现高峰的时间没有规律性;虫害后,挥发物的相对含量除水芹烯降低外,其余均在1h升高,同时检测到p-薄荷-1.4(δ)-二烯,但其变化较小。湿地松受害后检测到7种挥发性化学物质,除人工剪叶后α-蒎烯、虫害后α-蒎烯、水芹烯相对含量降低外,其它挥发物的相对含量在不同的时间内都有所升高。β-蒎烯在两种松树受害后都有显著的变化,马尾松中的石竹烯没有明显的变化,氨茴酸-3,5-二甲基-3-乙烯基-4-己烯酯、大香叶烯D只在湿地松中检测到,而且其变化显著。

Cadmium and copper change root growth and morphology of Pinus pinea and Pinus pinaster seedlings

Heavy metal loads in forest soils have been increasing over time due to atmospheric inputs. Accumulation in the upper soil layers could affect establishment of seedlings and forest regeneration. Mediterranean species show a high initial root development, allowing seedlings to reach the moisture of deeper soil layers. In the present work seedlings of stone pine ( Pinus pinea L.) and maritime pine ( Pinus pinaster Ait.), were grown in culture solution supplied with 0.0, 0.1, 1 or 5 μ M CdSO₄ or with 1 μ M CdSO₄ and 1 μ M CuSO₄ combined. In both species tap-root elongation was drastically reduced in the 5 μ M Cd²⁺ and in the (Cd²⁺+ Cu²⁺) treatments. A supply of 0.1 or 1 μ M Cd²⁺, however, enhanced root elongation in Pinus pinea without significantly influencing root elongation in Pinus pinaster . In both species the root density (weight per unit length) and the width of the cortex increased in response to Cd²⁺ exposure. In Pinus pinaster the mitotic index decreased at the higher Cd²⁺ concentrations and when Cd²⁺ and Cu²⁺ were combined. The data suggest that cell elongation is more sensitive to Cd²⁺ than cell division. The number and length of the lateral roots were also affected by Cd²⁺ treatment to a higher degree in Pinus pinaster than in Pinus pinea, reflecting the different Cd- tolerance of the two species.     

Mycorrhizal associations in Pinus massoniana Lamb. and Pinus elliottii Engel. inoculated with Pisolithus tinctorius

Dichotomous mycorrhizas were induced in Pinus massoniana and Pinus elliottii seedlings inoculated with Pisolithus tinctorius growing under non-axenic conditions. Six months after inoculation, Pinus massoniana seedlings exhibited a higher degree of infection, bore more mycorrhizas and had developed more abundant extramatrical mycelium than seedlings of Pinus elliottii. Nevertheless, seedlings of Pinus massoniana were stunted and exhibited chorosis of the needles, indicating a possible nutrient deficiency. Histological examination of these pine mycorrhizas showed an ectomycorrhizal association typical of gymnosperms with an intercellular Harting net penetrating between several layers of cortical cells close to the endodermis. However, strong polyphenolic reactions, intracellular hyphae and wall modifications were occasionally observed, indicating that both host-tissue incompatibility and ectendomycorrhizal association can occur in pine species under stressed conditions.     

若干种子处理方法对偃松种子生活力的影响

为了提高偃松种子生活力,采用水浸、NaOH溶液浸泡、PEG6000（PEG,聚乙二醇）溶液浸泡、低温冷冻、吸湿/回干5种方法对偃松种子进行处理,研究不同处理中各因素（如溶液浓度、处理时间与温度）对偃松种子生活力的影响,并采用靛蓝染色法测定偃松种子的生活力。结果表明：10%PEG6000溶液、初始温度60℃、浸泡36 h时,偃松种子生活力最强;水浸、低温处理和吸湿/回干处理方法也能提高偃松种子生活力;然而4%~12%NaOH溶液浸泡处理会导致偃松种子生活力下降。因此可将PEG6000溶液处理种子的方法应用于偃松种子萌发及人工种苗培育的实践中,使偃松资源得到更好的可持续开发与利用。     

Early effects of phenolic compounds, extracted from two forest litters, on ammonium uptake and assimilation in Pinus laricio and Pinus pinaster seedlings

The early effects of low molecular weight phenolic compounds, released by Pinus laricio and Pinus pinaster litter, on ammonium uptake and its assimilation in two Pinus species were studied. In Pinus laricio seedlings, the exposure to phenols extracted from Pinus laricio litter increased not only the ammonium uptake but also the activity of the main enzymes involved in its assimilation, whereas the phenols extracted from Pinus pinaster litter had a negative effect on these metabolic processes. In Pinus pinaster seedlings, the exposure to both phenols decreased the ammonium uptake and the activity of the main enzymes involved in its assimilation. Histological analysis carried out in Pinus laricio roots showed that phenols extracted from Pinus laricio litter induced the greatest growth of cortex, element through which occurs the ions uptake in plants, whereas phenol extracted from Pinus pinaster litter inhibited cortex development. On the other hand, in Pinus pinaster seedlings the observation showed that both phenols inhibited cortex growth indicating a strict correlation between cortex development and ammonium uptake and its assimilation.

同倍杂交种高山松与亲本种云南松的地理隔离研究

为了探讨横断山区同倍杂交种高山松与其亲本种云南松的地理隔离机制,采用实际的路线踏查方法,调查了高山松和云南松群体的地理分布情况和开花物候特征,并基于7个气象因子进行了聚类分析。调查研究表明高山松和云南松群体分布在不同的地貌类型中,以云南中甸为临界区,沿着金沙江河谷向北分布高山松,向南分布云南松。云南松的开花物候日期明显早于高山松,聚类分析表明两个物种分别聚为一支。在地质历史过程中,高大山系的形成以及海拔的升高将高山松和云南松从地理上隔离开来,两物种的适生区的气象因子的差异造成花期不遇,从而阻碍了两个物种问的基因交流,进而隔离开来。     

Fossil records of subsection Pinus (genus Pinus,Pinaceae) from the Cenozoic in Japan

Extant pines of subsection Pinus (section Pinus, genus Pinus, Pinaceae) are predominantly distributed in Eastern Asia. However, the extent of diversification in the section has yet to be fully clarified. We reviewed fossil records of subsection Pinus from Japan and collected permineralized materials, in which anatomical details are preserved for better understanding of the diversification. Our results suggest that this subsection appeared in Japan no earlier than the Middle Eocene, with extant species (i.e., Pinus densiflora and Pinus thunbergii) appearing around the beginning of the Pleistocene. Pinus fujiii (Early Miocene to Early Pleistocene) is inferred to have a close affinity to P. thunbergii based on the medial arrangement of its leaf resin canals. Additionally, P. fujiii has a similar cone morphology to those of extant species living in China, bridging the morphological gap between P. thunbergii and Chinese relatives of P. thunbergii as inferred by molecular phylogenetic analyses. Our results also suggest that taxonomic revisions of Pinus miocenica and Pinus oligolepis are required among the Japanese fossil species reported to date.     

Extended Host Range of Agrobacterium tumefaciens in the Genus Pinus

Two-to 4-month-old seedlings of nine pine species (Pinus eldarica Medw., Pinus elliottii Engelm., Pinus jeffreyi Grev. & Balf., Pinus lambertiana Dougl., Pinus ponderosa Laws., Pinus radiata D. Don, Pinus sylvestris L., Pinus taeda L., Pinus virginiana Mill), Douglas fir (Pseudotsuaa menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) and incense cedar (Libocedrus decurrens Torr.) were inoculated with five strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Transformation occurred in all conifer species tested as determined by gall formation and opine production. The frequency of gall formation varied by host species, by bacterial strain, and was related to the age of the stem when inoculated. Galls were visible 8 to 12 weeks after inoculation and were small (often less than 2.5 millimeters in diameter). Fewer than half (230 of 502) of the galls originally formed on the trees were present after 1 year, and 26 of these grew to diameters greater than 2 centimeters. The majority of these larger galls (18 of 26) were found in P. radiata. Bacterial strain-specific opines were found in 67 of the 81 gall tissues sampled.     

Cross-species amplification and characterization of microsatellite loci in Pinus mugo Turra

Pinus mugo (dwarf mountain pine) is an important component of European mountain ecosystems. However, little is known about the present genetic structure and population differentiation of this species at the DNA level, possibly due to a lack of nuclear microsatellite markers (SSR) developed for Pinus mugo. Therefore in this study we transferred microsatellite markers originally developed for Pinus sylvestris and Pinus taeda to Pinus mugo. This cross-species amplification approach is much faster and less expensive than isolation and characterization of new microsatellite markers. The transfer rates from the source species to Pinus mugo were moderately low (26%). There were no differences in microsatellite repeat motifs between the source species and Pinus mugo. Nuclear microsatellite markers successfully transferred to Pinus mugo can be applied to various genetic studies on this species, due to the high level of their polymorphism and high value of polymorphic information content.     

Responses to recent climatewarming of Pinus sylvestris and Pinus cembra within their montane transition zone in the Swiss Alps

Abstract. Altitudinal and latitudinal distribution limits of trees are mainly controlled by temperature. Therefore climate warming is expected to induce upslope or poleward migrations. In the Swiss Central Alps, summers in the period 1982-1991 were on average 0.8 °C warmer than those of the period 30 yr before. We investigated whether populations of conifers at the montane Pinus sylvestris-Pinus cembra ecocline exhibit demographic trends in response to that warming. We found no evidence for this. Young seedlings of Pinus sylvestris, the species which is expected to expand its range upward in a warmer climate, were virtually absent from all sites, whereas large fractions of Pinus cembra populations were observed in the seedling and juvenile categories even below the present lower distribution limit of adult trees. This suggests that there are no major altitudinal shifts in response to the recent sequence of warmer summers. Germination and seedling survival trials with Pinus sylvestris suggest that temperature per se would not exclude this species even from establishing at the current treeline in the Swiss Central Alps. Similar results were found at the polar treeline. Phytotron tests of seedling survival showed much less drought resistance in Pinus sylvestris than in Pinus cembra which is in contrast to their phytogeographic distributions. Thus, the montane pine ecocline in the Swiss Central Alps seems to be stabilized by species interactions and may not be directly responsive to moderate climatic change, which needs to be taken into account in predictive attempts.

Ectomycorrhizal fungi of Pinus pinaster

A study was undertaken to determine the ability to form ectomycorrhizae with Pinus pinaster Ait. in pure culture syntheses of 98 isolates of putative mycorrhizal fungi, mainly collected in northern Spain. A total of 35 species in 16 genera — Amanita, Cenococcum, Collybia, Cortinarius, Hebeloma, Laccaria, Lactarius, Lyophyllum, Melanogaster, Paxillus, Pisolithus, Rhizopogon, Scleroderma, Suillus, Thelephora and Xerocomus — formed ectomycorrhizae. Many of these fungal species were not previously reported as symbiotic with Pinus pinaster. Results obtained increase the range of potential fungal candidates for inoculation of nursery seedlings.     

马尾松与湿地松人工林生物量动态及养分循环特征

对乡土树种马尾松和引进外来树种湿地松人工林的生物量动态变化、养分积累与分配以及养分循环特征进行比较 ,结果表明 :在林分生长发育早期 ,马尾松生长慢 ,而湿地松生长快 ,生长发育后期马尾松生长速度比湿地松快。马尾松人工林生物量的数量成熟年龄为 36 a,采伐利用时的最大生物量为 4 34t/ hm2 ;湿地松的为 2 6 a,采伐利用时的最大生物量为 338t/ hm2。湿地松人工林各器官和总的养分积累量均高于马尾松 ,其中养分的总积累量是马尾松的 2倍多 ,树干高达 5倍多。在采伐利用时 ,不管是全树利用还是仅利用干材 ,同马尾松相比 ,湿地松林将带走更多的养分 ,对地力的养分消耗量更大。同时 ,湿地松林养分循环速率低 ,周转时间长 ,需要的养分多 ,比马尾松林维持地力的能力差。因此 ,在湿地松人工林的经营管理过程 ,更应处理好养地与用地之间的关系 ,否则会造成林地生产力的下降
