Book Eastern White Pine Dieback in the Southern Appalachian Mountains

Download or read book Eastern White Pine Dieback in the Southern Appalachian Mountains written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) is the most widely distributed pine species in the eastern U.S. It is the only pine species native to the Southern Appalachian Mountain region that has five needles. Eastern white pine has a remarkable growth rate on a variety of soils and grows as tall or taller than most trees in the region. It can be found in many different forest types, providing important habitat for wildlife. Eastern white pine is used as a Christmas tree species, and its bark and resin are used for construction materials, extracts, and many other products.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.) is experiencing novel symptoms of dieback and mortality throughout its range in North America. Recent studies have found that two organisms, a fungal pathogen (Caliciopsis pinea Peck) and a scale insect (Matsucoccus macrocicatrices Richards), have emerged in association with a canker disease, which is driving the symptoms of this dieback phenomenon. Little is known about this insect-pathogen complex and its relationship to its host, including the colonization tendencies of the insect and pathogen, the nativity of the insect, and the genetic diversity and structure of the host in the Southern Appalachians region. I quantified the incidence of scale insects and pathogenic cankers within trees and among size classes and found that colonization of both the insect and the pathogen was consistent with the patterns of dieback and mortality of P. strobus, adding support to the hypothesis that these organisms are responsible for dieback symptoms and mortality. I also developed microsatellite markers to evaluate the present genetic diversity and structure of M. macrocicatrices populations within a biogeographical framework. I found that this insect is native to all regions in North America, and I posit it has likely been co-occurring with P. strobus, its obligate host, since the last glacial maximum. Therefore, recent introductions and invasional processes likely did not contribute to the recent emergence of M. macrocicatrices and its novel association with pathogens and dieback symptoms. Lastly, I elucidated the genetic diversity and population structure of P. strobus in the understudied Southern Appalachians and found that populations in this region are highly variable but not more so than those in more northern latitudes. Although this important tree species faces new threats, its high genetic variation suggests it may also have a substantial amount of adaptive potential. My results and interpretations herein provide comprehensive and important foundational knowledge about the organisms involved in the eastern white pine dieback phenomenon. This research has built a framework for future investigations into (1) the mechanism(s) that allows M. macrocicatrices to facilitate C. pinea infection, (2) the reason(s) why M. macrocicatrices has recently emerged as a pest, and (3) the appropriate management and conservation strategies for P. strobus persistence in its native range.

Book Introduction to Forest Genetics

Download or read book Introduction to Forest Genetics written by Jonathan Wright and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Forest Genetics examines some of the basic genetic concepts typically used in forestry and tree improvement studies, including Mendelian and population genetics. It also describes techniques that are generally useful in tree improvement work, including individual tree selection and breeding, provenance testing, species and racial hybridization, and introduction of exotics. Organized into 19 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of forest genetics and problems associated with forest genetics. It then discusses concepts from basic genetics, including chromosome structure and function; DNA and RNA; nongenetic inheritance; and genotype versus phenotype. Other chapters focus on inbreeding: complete elimination of homozygous recessive trees; mutation and migration; and controlled pollination and vegetative propagation. The book also covers the establishment and measurement of test plantations; general principles and methods of selective breeding; choice of breeding method and type of seed orchard; heritability and genetic gain; geographic variation in Scotch pine and American trees; species and racial hybridization; chromosome studies; and polyploidy and haploidy breeding. This book is a valuable resource for foresters, professional tree breeders, and those with or without previous training in genetics or forestry.
