Simple Summary
Pine forests represent a major source of biomass, including timber and resin. Pine resin constitutes a sustainable source of a myriad of products used in several industrial sectors, such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food additives, and biofuels. Every year more than 150,000 tons of resin are tapped from Brazilian plantations. A pin...
To better understand the bases of resin production, a major source of terpenes for industry, the transcriptome of adult Pinus elliottii var. elliottii (slash pine) trees under field commercial resinosis was obtained. Samples were collected from cambium after 5 and 15 days of treatment application, which included tapping followed by application of c...
Pine resin, a natural source of industrially relevant terpenes, is a major non-wood forestry commodity. Resin is obtained by wounding the bark of adult trees and applying stimulant pastes with different adjuvants on the wound. Identifying new adjuvants and high resin producing trees in adult forests often requires long time and intense labor. Micro...
In conifer stems, secretory canals synthesize and store resin for defense against herbivores and pathogens. Resin terpenes are used as raw material by an array of industrial sectors. Most forest stands operationally used in resin extraction are derived from seeds, showing high genetic variation, which reflects in yield. The objective of this study...
The development of adventitious roots is affected by several factors, including the age of the cutting donor plant, which negatively affects rooting capacity. Eucalyptus globulus quickly loses rooting capacity of cuttings as the donor plant ages, although the molecular and biochemical mechanisms behind this process are still unclear. To better unde...
Brachycerine is a shoot monoterpene indole alkaloid with antioxidant, UV protectant, and antimutagenic activities present in Psychotria brachyceras. The alkaloid has been shown to be induced by osmotic stress, UV, heavy metals, and wounding. Since brachycerine accumulation is related to redox imbalance, herein we tested the hypothesis that heat ind...
Among the cultivation problems of apple production in Brazil, Apple Leaf Spot (ALS) disease represents one of the main breeding challenges. This study aims at analyzing the genetic diversity among 152 apple scion accessions available at the Apple Gene Bank of EPAGRI, located in Caçador, Santa Catarina/ Brazil. Eleven genomic SSR loci were analyzed...
