Extracts of sycamore cambial tissue convert UDP-glucose into UDP-glucuronic acid, and the latter into UDP-xylose and UDP-rhamnose. None of the corresponding galactose series of monosaccharides was formed indicating the absence of epimerases, postulated as an important feature of differentiation. UDP-glucose is formed in greater quantities than any of its nucleoside analogues and it is suggested that UDP-glucose plays a more important role in carbohydrate metabolism in this tissue.

USDA-ARS, Dept. of Plant Pathology, University of California, One Shields Av, Davis, California, United States, 95616;
Article Synopsis
- California produces nearly all U.S. prunes, contributing significantly to the global market, with over 50% of new plantings using the Krymsk 86 rootstock due to its beneficial traits.
- In spring 2023, 'Improved French' prune trees in Northern California showed signs of decline, with about 3.6% to 4.6% of trees affected based on rootstock type.
- Investigation revealed the presence of prune brown line (PBL) disease caused by tomato ringspot virus (ToRSV), confirming infection through RNA testing from various tree samples.
Relationship between the distribution of the pinewood nematode () and the development of xylem embolism in the stems of Japanese black pine () seedlings monitored by magnetic resonance imaging.

The University of Tokyo, Department of Forest Science, Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences, Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan;
The development of xylem embolism in 1-year-old stems of Japanese black pine () seedlings was monitored by compact magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after inoculation with the pinewood nematode (). In parallel, the nematode distribution and population structure in the stems were examined by isolating the nematodes using the Baermann funnel technique. The vertical length and volume of massive embolisms in each seedling were strongly correlated with the maximum relative embolized area (REA) in stem cross-sections.

Article Synopsis
- Nuclear-mitochondrial communication is essential for plant growth and plays a significant role in repairing cytoplasmic male sterility linked to mitochondrial mutations.
- The study focuses on the evolutionary relationship of specific genes in the poplar plant, particularly those affecting vascular cambium development.
- Findings indicate that the gene PtoRFL30 is critical for mitochondrial function and auxin signaling, highlighting its influence on wood formation and advancements in understanding secondary vascular development.

As major terrestrial carbon sinks, forests play an important role in mitigating climate change. The relationship between the seasonal uptake of carbon and its allocation to woody biomass remains poorly understood, leaving a significant gap in our capacity to predict carbon sequestration by forests. Here, we compare the intra-annual dynamics of carbon fluxes and wood formation across the Northern hemisphere, from carbon assimilation and the formation of non-structural carbon compounds to their incorporation in woody tissues.
