Genetic differences of various populations of Picea abies (L.) Karst.) have been studied basing on 20 allozyme loci variability. Two populations located in Ukrainian Carpathians (1000-1500 m above sea level) and one plain, island, and scanty population of Polesrye were compared. Despite their different high-altitude location, geographical remoteness and population size the very low genetic differentiation (DN = 0,003-0,005) was observed. Recombination variability analysis showed that populations from Carpathians in contrast to that one from Poles'ye had higher similarity level according to their diloci genotype structure.

Background: Pine (Pinus koraiensis) nut oil (PNO) has been reported to have various beneficial effects on hepatic triglyceride accumulation and atherosclerosis in animal models. MicroRNAs (miRs) are involved in various diseases by modulating physiological processes. However, the mechanism underlying PNO's effects on the regulation of miRs involved in hepatic cholesterol homeostasis and inflammation remains unclear.

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) play a crucial role in facilitating plant nutrient uptake from the soil although inorganic nitrogen (N) can potentially diminish this role. However, the effect of inorganic N availability and organic matter on shaping EMF-mediated plant iron (Fe) uptake remains unclear. To explore this, we performed a microcosm study on Pinus taeda roots inoculated with Suillus cothurnatus treated with +/-Fe-coated sand, +/-organic matter, and a gradient of NHNO concentrations.

Tree-planting is increasingly presented as a cost-effective strategy to maximise ecosystem carbon (C) storage and thus mitigate climate change. Its success largely depends on the associated response of soil C stocks, where most terrestrial C is stored. Yet, we lack a precise understanding of how soil C stocks develop following tree planting, and particularly how it affects the form in which soil C is stored and its associated stability and resistance to climate change.

Arhopalus unicolor is a carrier of the pine wood nematode (PWN), which causes pine wilt disease, killing pine trees and causing considerable economic and environmental losses. While the A. unicolor mitochondrial genome has been published, a high-quality genome assembly and annotation of A.

Abstract: Tree-rings are the prime archive for high-resolution climate information over the past two millennia. However, the accuracy of annually resolved reconstructions from tree-rings can be constrained by what is known as climate signal age effects (CSAE), encompassing changes in the sensitivity of tree growth to climate over their lifespans. Here, we evaluate CSAE in from an upper tree line site in the Spanish central Pyrenees, Lake Gerber, which became a key location for reconstructing western Mediterranean summer temperatures at annual resolution.
