Disease relevance of Pinus taeda

• We also describe the generation of an anti-arginase antibody prepared from a histidine-tagged loblolly pine arginase fusion protein expressed in Escherichia coli [1].
• Additional virulence genes and sonication enhance Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated loblolly pine transformation [2].
• Optimal spray timing values for the Georgia Piedmont were obtained for the following four insecticides available for use in loblolly pine plantations: permethrin (Pounce), lambda-cyhalothrin (Warrior T), spinosad (SpinTor 2 SC), and Bacillus thuringiensis variety kurstaki Berliner (Foray 48B) [3].

High impact information on Pinus taeda

• We determined the reproductive response of 19-year-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) to 4 years of carbon dioxide (CO2) enrichment (ambient concentration plus 200 microliters per liter) in an intact forest [4].
• Consistent with a role of DRAs in conifer defense, PtAO transcript levels increased upon simulated insect attack using methyl jasmonate treatment of loblolly pine [5].
• We have discovered a mutant loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) in which expression of the gene encoding cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD; EC 1.1.1.195) is severely reduced [6].
• We have isolated a gene from loblolly pine, 5NG4, that is highly and specifically induced by auxin in juvenile loblolly pine shoots prior to adventitious root formation, but substantially down-regulated in physiologically mature shoots that are adventitious rooting incompetent [7].
• Loblolly pine arginase responds to arginine in vitro [8].

Biological context of Pinus taeda

• Secondary xylem-specific expression of caffeoyl-coenzyme A 3-O-methyltransferase plays an important role in the methylation pathway associated with lignin biosynthesis in loblolly pine [9].
• We isolated five members of the Aux/IAA gene family in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.). Degenerate primers complementary to conserved regions of angiosperm Aux/IAA genes were used to amplify fragments that were, in turn, used as probes to screen a cDNA library constructed from auxin-treated hypocotyls [10].

Associations of Pinus taeda with chemical compounds

• Recently, we reported a novel hydroxycinnamic acid/hydroxycinnamoyl CoA ester O-methyltransferase (AEOMT) from loblolly pine differentiating xylem that was capable of methylating both acid and ester precursors with similar efficiency [9].
• Belowground carbon dynamics in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) immediately following diammonium phosphate fertilization [11].
• Genetic analysis of cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase in loblolly pine: single gene inheritance, molecular characterization and evolution [12].
• Aluminum fractions in root tips of slash pine and loblolly pine families differing in Al resistance [13].
• (loblolly pine) trees grown using free-air CO2 enrichment in elevated (56 Pa) and current (36 Pa) pCO2 [14].

Gene context of Pinus taeda

• At 12 mg, gallic acid, Aleppo gall tannic acid (TA), catechin, and loblolly pine bark CT inhibit the most CPBA-induced ODC activity [15].
