Identification and characterization of microsatellite markers in var. (Pinaceae).

Premise Of The Study: Microsatellite primers were developed in var. (Pinaceae), a species native to southwestern China, to investigate its genetic diversity and population structure in order to provide information for the conservation and management of this species.

Methods And Results: Using next-generation sequencing, a total of 2349 putative simple sequence repeat primer pairs were designed.

Growth promotion of Yunnan Pine early seedlings in response to foliar application of IAA and IBA.

A field experiment was conducted using a 3 × 3 orthogonal regression design to explore the growth promotion of one-year-old Yunnan pine seedlings (Pinus yunnanensis Franch.) in response to foliar application of IAA (indole-3-acetic acid) at rates of 0, 200 and 400 mg·L(-1) and IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) at rates of 0, 200 and 400 mg·L(-1) in order to promote the growth during the seedlings' early stage. The experiment was conducted at the Lufeng Village Forest Farm of Yiliang County in Kunming, Yunnan, China.
