(Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2017-04)The ecological and economic importance of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Douglas ex Louden) in British Columbia (BC) has heightened interest in the adaptability and effective management of the species,especially as climate ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2008-04-09)Background: Plants are exposed to attack from a large variety of herbivores. Feeding insects can induce substantial changes of the host plant transcriptome. Arabidopsis thaliana has been established as a relevant system for ...
-
(Botanical Review, 2015-03)Although secreted proteins (a secretome) are known to occur in gymnosperm pollination drops, this study shows evidence for the presence of a protein degradome for the first time. A protein degradome is composed of protein ...
-
(Ecosphere, 2019)Diatom assemblages from Lake Stowell, a low‐elevation lake in coastal British Columbia, were used to assess limnological responses associated with changes in relative sea level (RSL) and climate over the past 14,500 yr. ...
-
(Annals of Botany, 2015-12)Background and Aims: In conifers, mature somatic embryos and zygotic embryos appear to resemble one another physiologically and morphologically. However, phenotypes of cloned conifer embryos can be strongly influenced by ...
-
(Journal of Plant Growth Regulation, 2016-03)In long-shoot buds of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. var. latifolia Engelm), cone-bud initiation and gender differentiation occur in a site-specific manner: female cone buds are normally restricted to the ...
-
(Trees, 2018)Effects of exogenously applied gibberellins (GAs) and 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) on profiles of phytohormones and some of their metabolites relative to controls in long-shoot buds of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex ...
-
(the Plant Journal, 2018-06)The shikimate pathway synthesizes aromatic amino acids essential for protein biosynthesis. Shikimate dehydrogenase (SDH) is a central enzyme of this primary metabolic pathway, producing shikimate. The structurally similar ...
-
(BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2014-01-20)Background: Nitrogen uptake, reallocation within the plant, and between subcellular compartments involves ammonium, nitrate and peptide transporters. Ammonium transporters are separated into two distinct families (AMT1 and ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2008-04-23)Background: Sequencing of the first plant genomes has revealed that cytochromes P450 have evolved to become the largest family of enzymes in secondary metabolism. The proportion of P450 enzymes with characterized biochemical ...
-
(Journal of Paleolimnology, 2018-04)Fossil midge remains in a sediment core from Lake Stowell, a low-elevation lake in coastal British Columbia, Canada, were used to assess temporal changes in chironomid communities and to produce quantitative estimates of ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2011-08-24)Background: The highly aggressive pathogenic fungus Ophiostoma novo-ulmi continues to be a serious threat to the American elm (Ulmus americana) in North America. Extensive studies have been conducted in North America to ...
-
(2016-04-27)Wood is an extraordinary, sustainable feedstock for construction, pulp and paper, and potentially for bioenergy production. Wood is largely composed of secondary cell walls containing carbohydrates (such as cellulose) and ...
-
(Botany, 2018)Lodgepole pine is an important lumber species in Canada and seed orchards are expected to meet the increased demand for seed. However, seed production has been consistently low in the Okanagan region orchards of British ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2008-11-20)Background: The protein phosphatase 2Cs (PP2Cs) from various organisms have been implicated to act as negative modulators of protein kinase pathways involved in diverse environmental stress responses and developmental ...
-
(PLoS One, 2015-10)Host plant interactions are likely key drivers of evolutionary processes involved in the diversification of phytophagous insects. Granivory has received substantial attention for its crucial role in shaping the interaction ...
-
(Annals of Botany, 2016-05)Background and Aims: Many gymnosperms produce an ovular secretion, the pollination drop, during reproduction. The drops serve as a landing site for pollen, but also contain a suite of ions and organic compounds, including ...
-
(Vegetation History and Archaeobotany, 2020)Kilgii Gwaay is an early Holocene archaeological wet site located in the intertidal zone of Ellen Island in the southern Haida Gwaii archipelago of coastal British Columbia, Canada. The Kilgii site includes one of the ...
-
(Nature Climate Change, 2018)The carbon sink potential of peatlands depends on the balance of carbon uptake by plants and microbial decomposition. The rates of both these processes will increase with warming but it remains unclear which will dominate ...
-
(The Holocene, 2015)We present a multi-proxy paleoenvironmental study on a 10,400 cal. yr peat sequence from an ombrotrophic bog in coastal British Columbia, Canada. Pollen, non-pollen palynomorph, plant macrofossil, and physicochemical ...
