High impact information on Fagus

• Negative regulation of abscisic acid signaling by the Fagus sylvatica FsPP2C1 plays a role in seed dormancy regulation and promotion of seed germination [1].
• The full-length clone was isolated from a cDNA library constructed using mRNA from ABA-treated beechnut (Fagus sylvatica) seeds [2].
• Transcripts of a gene, encoding a small GTP-binding protein from Fagus sylvatica, are induced by ABA and accumulated in the embryonic axis of dormant seeds [3].
• We examined the vertical profiles of leaf characteristics within the crowns of two late-successional (Fagus crenata Blume and Fagus japonica Maxim.) and one early-successional tree species (Betula grossa Sieb. et Zucc.) in a Japanese forest [4].
• This study investigated the relationship between delta13C of ecosystem components, soluble plant carbohydrates and the isotopic signature of ecosystem respired CO2 (delta13CR) during seasonal changes in soil and atmospheric moisture in a beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forest in the central Apennine mountains, Italy [5].

Biological context of Fagus

• Intraspecific genetic variation in three non-coding chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) regions (trnT-L and trnL-F spacers, and trnL intron) of Japanese beech (Fagus crenata Blume) was investigated [6].

Associations of Fagus with chemical compounds

• Ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) and beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) seedlings were grown in the field under three levels of natural light: (1) open, (2) gap and (3) shade [7].
• Influence of plant internal nitrogen (N) stocks on carbon (C) and N uptake and allocation in 3-year-old beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) was studied in two 15N- and 13C-labeling experiments [8].
• Ester linkages between lignin and glucuronic acid in lignin-carbohydrate complexes from Fagus crenata [9].
• The influence of O3, NO2 and SO2 on growth of Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica in the Carpathian Mountains [10].
• Tree species (Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica) effects on soil water acidification and aluminium chemistry at sites subjected to long-term acidification in the Ore Mts., Czech Republic [11].

Gene context of Fagus

• The expression of an abscisic acid-responsive glycine-rich protein coincides with the level of seed dormancy in Fagus sylvatica [12].
• Changes in the activity of amylase, peroxidase and catalase in beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) during dormancy and growth [13].
• By August 1999 only 53% of the trees had new shoots developing from the trunk or broken branches; among the more dominant canopy trees, Fagus grandifolia had the least sprouting and Acer saccharum and Quercus rubra the most [14].
