In plantation forests, competition from unwanted vegetation may reduce survival and negatively impact tree growth. The goal of this study was to examine the influence of vegetation management treatments on plant water relations and wood properties. Control trees (no treatment) were compared to...

We describe the first evidence of fossil Abies wood from the late early Miocene fossil plant assemblage of Wiesa in east Germany. The comparatively well-preserved piece of xylitic wood was recovered in the kaolin quarry at Hasenberg hill in Wiesa. The Wiesa assemblage is characterized as being...

In this study, we investigate the phylogeny and taxonomy of the /Camptori clade sensu Soop et al. (2019a). Based on combined nrDNA ITS phylogenetic, morphological, and ecological analyses, the clade includes six species in Europe, four of which are described here as new to science: Cortinarius...

The monotypic genus Podofomes, with the species Podofomes trogii, is a stipitate polypore with annual, reniform to infundibuliform pilei with a black crust, concentrically zonate, irregularly decurrent pores, a trimitic hyphal system, clamped generative hyphae, absence of cystidial elements, and...

In order to explore the effects of 4 light quality treatments on the photosynthetic parameters of Chinese fir seedlings, one-year-old superior clone 020 cutting seedlings were used as experimental materials, 4 light qualities, 8 gradient light intensities were set; through the indoor light quality...

Trametopsis is a worldwide genus belonging to Irpicaceae in the phlebioid clade, which can cause a white decay of wood. Previously, only three species were ascribed to the genus. In this study, we performed a morphological and phylogenetic study of Trametopsis. Molecular phylogenetic analyses of...

Three anthocyanins (1-3) and eight flavonols (4-11) were isolated from the flowers of Amherstia nobilis endemic to Myanmar. Anthocyanins were identified as cyanidin 3-O-glucoside (1), 3-O-xyloside (2), and peonidin 3-O-glucoside (3). On the other hand, flavonols were identified as isorhamnetin 3-...

Abies Mill. represents one of the most diverse lineages in Pinaceae with ca. 50 species. Recent phylogenetic studies of Abies using regions of the nuclear and plastid genomes generally support recent classifications. However, we have previously shown that in several cases sectional memberships...

With 3-a Korean spruce and its variety Nenjiang spruce seedlings, we investigated the water change rules after water N control (stop water supply) for 2, 4, 6, an 8 d and the response of main osmotic regulators and antioxidant systems to different degrees of drought stress. The research results...

Using molecular phylogenetic analyses (ITS) and morphological data obtained from light and electron microscopy, some European and North American species and genera placed or formerly placed in the genus Pucciniastrum in the Coleosporiaceae and Pucciniastraceae (Pucciniales) were taxonomically...
