By propagating lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) cuttings in vivo, we obtained after 7 growing cycles (ca 3.5 years) in a greenhouse, sufficient number of cuttings from most families to establish clonal progeny tests. Twenty-one full-sib families with approximately 20 clones per family were studied for five years. Years when cuttings were set, families within latitude and clones within families differed significantly in rooting percentages, with the variance components 4.2%, 8.2% and 9.5%, respectively. One way to get a frequent and uniform rooting is to take cuttings from non-leading shoots since they have higher rooting percentage than leading shoots. Neither total length of the cuttings nor length of the primary needles were significantly correlated to rooting percentage. With appropriate management of the ortets and the cuttings during rooting, most clones could be included in a cutting propagation program.

Genetic variation in wood specific gravity of half-sib families of Pinus nigra subsp pallasiana tested at the juvenile stage: Implications for early selection Kaya, Zeki; Temerit, A; Vurdu, H (2003-01-01) Seeds from 7 populations (total of 281 half-sib families, progeny test) and 35 seed stands (provenance test) representing natural range of Anatolian black pine (Pinus nigra subsp. pallasiana) were sown in a forest nursery in Ankara in 1990 and raised until age 3. Stem wood specific gravity (WSG) of all seedlings was determined at age of 3. The results of this study indicated that WSG did not vary significantly neither among the 7 populations (ranging from 0.41 to 0.42) nor among 35 seed stands (ranging from...
Genetic control of rooting ability of lodgepole pine cuttings Fries, A; Kaya, Zeki (1997-11-01) This study evaluates the genetic control of rooting ability ex vitro for cuttings of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm.). More than 200 clones from 21 full-sib families were studied during 4 yr in the greenhouse. Clonal averages in rooting frequency, root size score, shoot extension during rooting, and vitality score were calculated, together with variance components and phenotypic and genetic correlations among variables. Years, families within latitude of origin, clones within families ...
COMPARISON OF FIELD GROWTH AMONG LOBLOLLY-PINE SEEDLINGS AND 3 PLANT TYPES PRODUCED INVITRO FRAMPTON, LJ; ISIK, K (1987-07-01) To study differences in field performance between tissue culture plantlets and seedlings of loblolly pine, two field plantings containing four plant types (seedlings, excised embryos, rooted hypocotyls, and tissue culture plantlets) were established. After 3.5 growing seasons, the plantlets were 80% the height of the seedlings and appeared more mature than seedlings for other characteristics. Despite their smaller initial planting size, by 1.5 years, the two additional plant types performed as well as the s...
Genetic relationships among perennial and annual Cicer species growing in Turkey as revealed by allozymes Sudupak, MA; Kence, Aykut (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-05-01) Allozyme polymorphisms were used to assess genetic variation and relationships among ten Cicer species ( annuals and perennials) growing in Turkey. Using seven enzyme systems, 12 putative scorable loci were detected and surveyed for polymorphism in an accession collection including wild and cultivated forms. Variation was generally low within accessions and species, but common between species. Cluster analysis based on the pairwise genetic distance coefficients (Nei 1978) among accessions and species using ...
Genetic variation pattern among Abies cilicica (Pinaceae) populations: Adaptive seed and seedling traits Gülsoy, Ali Murat; Doğan, Musa; Department of Biology (2022-9-12) The pattern of genetic variation in adaptive seed and seedling traits of Abies cilicica was investigated using 160 families from 8 populations representing the species' natural range for two years in the Olcay Forest Nursery in Konya. The study indicated that both populations and families within populations varied significantly in seed and seedling traits. The pattern of genetic variation among populations suggests that there may be a clinal variation concerning altitude and latitude regarding these traits....
