  • Anomalous Dark Growth Rings in Black Cherry
    FIELD NOTE Anomalous Dark Growth Rings in Black Cherry Robert P. Long, David W. Trimpey, Michael C. Wiemann, and Susan L. Stout Anomalous dark growth rings have been observed in black cherry (Prunus serotina) sawlogs from northwestern Pennsylvania making the logs unsuitable for veneer products. Thirty-six cross sections with dark rings, each traceable to one of ten stands, were obtained from a local mill and sections were dated and annual ring widths were measured. One or more dark rings were found in 30 of the 36 cross sections. The most frequent years in which dark rings formed were 1994, on 55% of cross sections, and 1995, on 72% of cross sections. Both years were coincident with widespread cherry scallop shell moth (Hydria prunivorata) outbreaks. GIS layers and maps obtained from the Allegheny National Forest were used to document cherry scallop shell moth defoliations in these stands. These rings show a darkened discoloration through all or portions of the annual ring without characteristics typical of gum spots or gum defects caused ABSTRACT by traumatic injury from bark beetles or cambium miners. Microscopic examination of the rings revealed darkened fiber cell walls, but no other cellular abnormalities. Dark rings are more common in stands with a high proportion of the total basal area composed of black cherry. These stands also are more susceptible to repeated defoliations from cherry scallop shell moth. lack cherry (Prunus serotina) is one of the most valuable east- Methods ern hardwood timber species, and some of the highest quality Thirty-six cross sections or partial cross sections from nine dif- Bcherry originates in northwestern Pennsylvania (Wieden- ferent stands were obtained from a private industrial landowner in beck et al.

  • Genetic Relationships Among 10 Prunus Rootstock Species from China, Based on Simple Sequence Repeat Markers
    J. AMER.SOC.HORT.SCI. 141(5):520–526. 2016. doi: 10.21273/JASHS03827-16 Genetic Relationships among 10 Prunus Rootstock Species from China, Based on Simple Sequence Repeat Markers Qijing Zhang and Dajun Gu1 Liaoning Institute of Pomology, Yingkou, Liaoning 115009, People’s Republic of China ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. microsatellite markers, banding patterns, phylogenetic analysis, subgenus classification, rootstock breeding ABSTRACT. To improve the efficiency of breeding programs for Prunus rootstock hybrids in China, we analyzed the subgenus status and relationship of 10 Chinese rootstock species, by using 24 sets of simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers. The SSR banding patterns and phylogenetic analysis indicated that subgenus Cerasus is more closely related to subgenus Prunophora than to subgenus Amygdalus, and that subgenus Lithocerasus is more closely related to subgenus Prunophora and subgenus Amygdalus than to subgenus Cerasus. In addition, Prunus triloba was more closely related to Prunus tomentosa than to the members of subgenus Amygdalus. Therefore, we suggest that P. tomentosa and P. triloba should be assigned to the same group, either to subgenus Lithocerasus or Prunophora, and we also propose potential parent combinations for future Prunus rootstock breeding. Prunus (Rosaceae) is a large genus with significant eco- peach, whereas Prunus salicina and Prunus sibirica can be nomic importance, since it includes a variety of popular stone used as a rootstock for cherry, plum, apricot, and peach. fruit species [e.g., peach (Prunus persica), apricot (Prunus Hybridization among Prunus species has been successful and armeniaca), almond (Prunus dulcis), and sweet cherry (Prunus has been taken up as an effective strategy for improving avium)].
