Dry woodlands with scattered canopy trees often support a profusion of fall blooming wildflowers such as sunflowers, goldenrods, and blazing stars. The upland forest with the highest soil moisture occurs on slopes where resistance to fire allows a variety of trees such as American beech, white oak, spruce pine, and southern magnolia to grow, as well as shrubs like Carolina buckthorn, needle palm, red buckeye, horse sugar, fringe tree, and native azaleas. Where soils have higher moisture and mineral levels, the ground layer is rich and reminiscent of the Southern Appalachians with spring flowering plants like bloodroot, May apple, trout lily, doll’s eyes and Solomon’s seal.

Asheville, NC: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Southern Research Station. DRAFT - August 2008 Tung oil tree (Vernicia fordii) is a deciduous tree that grows rapidly in moist and well drained soils, forming dense stands. Vernicia fordii grows to 40 feet (12 m) in height having a rounded crown with many alternate branches and basal sprouts. Grows rapidly in moist and well-drained soils forming dense stands and colonizes by stump sprouts. Viable seed can be produced at 3 years. Recommended Control procedures: Large Trees. Make stem injections using undiluted Garlon 3A during June through Sept. or Vanquish* at a 75-percent solution (96 ounces per 1-gallon mix) with water during June through October in cut spacings specified on the herbicide label. For stems too tall for foliar sprays, cut large stems and immediately treat the stumps with one of the following herbicides: Garlon 4 as a 25 to 50-percent solution (32 to 64 ounces per 1-gallon mix) or Garlon 3A as a 30-percent solution (38 ounces per 1-gallon mix). Saplings. Apply Garlon 4 as a 15-percent solution in basal oil, vegetable oil, crop oil concentrate, diesel fuel or kerosene (3 pints per 3-gallon mix) as a basal spray in the fall when flowering. Seedlings and saplings. Thoroughly wet all leaves with one of the following herbicides in water with a surfactant on young trees less than 10-feet (3 m) tall: Garlon 3A as a 2-percent solution (8 ounces per 3-gallon mix); a glyphosate herbicide as a 2- to 3-percent solution (8 to 12 ounces per 3-gallon mix); or Chopper Gen II* (or Arsenal AC) as a 0.5-percent solution (2 ounces per 3-gallon mix).

Recent studies have established the feasibility of increasing triacylglycerol content in plant leaves, which provides a novel approach for increasing energy density of biomass crops. Here, we determined whether the fatty acid composition of leaf oil could be engineered to accumulate unusual fatty acids. Eleostearic acid (ESA) is a conjugated fatty acid produced in seeds of the tung tree (Vernicia fordii) and has both industrial and nutritional end-uses. Arabidopsis thaliana lines with elevated leaf oil were first generated by transforming wild-type, cgi-58 or pxa1 mutants (the latter two of which contain mutations disrupting fatty acid breakdown) with the diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGAT1 or DGAT2) and/or oleosin genes from tung.
