The Proceedings presented here represent the 3rd highly successful conference we have held in recent years for the IUFRO Working Party 2.02.15: The Breeding and Genetic Resources of Five-Needle Pines. This working group highlights work related to quantitative and molecular genetics, resistance to diseases and pests, hybridization, selection and improvement, genecology and conservation genetics in all five-needle pines. Underlying this work is the threat that this species group faces from climate change and disease especially white pine blister rust. This conference was the first time this group has met in East Asia. Participants were grateful to our Korean hosts for their generosity and providing a very well run and informative conference. The other two recent conferences were held at Medford Oregon, USA in 2001 and Valiug, Romania in 2006. One of the major themes of the meeting, incorporated into these proceedings, is the international efforts and concerns being taken to conserve important gene pools of these ecological and culturally important species. This ranged from: P. chiapensis in southern Mexico and Guatemala which plays a key role in ecosystem regeneration in areas managed under slash-and-burn agri- cultural systems for indigenous peoples; to critically endangered species in Vietnam, to efforts at conservation genetics in Siberia and the North American Rockies. Another major theme of the conference centered around concern over white pine blister rust caused by the pathogen Cronartium ribicola. Efforts through breeding and selection from countries ranging from Canada, Romania. and the USA were discussed as well as the Korean efforts at control in the native P. koraiensis forests. A commitment to international cooperation and coordi- nation in understanding and helping control this pathogen was made at the meeting. There was a commitment to strengthen the international efforts at research in this important species group and encourage ongo- ing exchange of information and material. The Russian delegation offered to host the next meeting in Tomsk in Siberia and we hope to co-ordinate this with the IUFRO world congress to be held in Seoul, Korea in 2010.

In Korea, we have three native and one exotic five needle pines. They have been greatly utilized as sources for timber, nuts and landscape materials. Korean pine has been a good source of timber and edible nuts in Korea. During the past 50 years, we have established Korean pine seed orchards to provide good quality seeds for plantation. We have also performed various research to understand genetic structure of natural stands and to control genetic make-up of the seed orchards. In contrast, a remnant population of Pinus pumila in the peak of the Sorak Mountain represents the Southern most population in Korean peninsula. It warns us how fast the global warming progresses. Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus) is a promising species in Korea since it grows fast and straight. Several provenance tests are being done to select best seed sources. However, the health of both the natural stands and the artificial plantations has been greatly threatened by white pine blister rust, pine nematodes and recently by global warming. We need more knowledge on five needle pines in context to their conservation and utilization. Therefore, KFRI, together with the Korean White Pine Society, hosted the IUFRO Working Party 2.02.15 (Breeding and Genetic Resources of Five-needle pines) in September 22, 2008.

  • Molecular Phylogenetics of Mosses and Relatives
    MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS OF MOSSES AND RELATIVES! by! Ying Chang! ! ! A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF ! DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY! in! The Faculty of Graduate Studies! (Botany)! ! ! THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA! (Vancouver)! July 2011! © Ying Chang, 2011 ! ABSTRACT! Substantial ambiguities still remain concerning the broad backbone of moss phylogeny. I surveyed 17 slowly evolving plastid genes from representative taxa to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships among the major lineages of mosses in the overall context of land-plant phylogeny. I first designed 78 bryophyte-specific primers and demonstrated that they permit straightforward amplification and sequencing of 14 core genes across a broad range of bryophytes (three of the 17 genes required more effort). In combination, these genes can generate sturdy and well- resolved phylogenetic inferences of higher-order moss phylogeny, with little evidence of conflict among different data partitions or analyses. Liverworts are strongly supported as the sister group of the remaining land plants, and hornworts as sister to vascular plants. Within mosses, besides confirming some previously published findings based on other markers, my results substantially improve support for major branching patterns that were ambiguous before. The monogeneric classes Takakiopsida and Sphagnopsida likely represent the first and second split within moss phylogeny, respectively. However, this result is shown to be sensitive to the strategy used to estimate DNA substitution model parameter values and to different data partitioning methods. Regarding the placement of remaining nonperistomate lineages, the [[[Andreaeobryopsida, Andreaeopsida], Oedipodiopsida], peristomate mosses] arrangement receives moderate to strong support. Among peristomate mosses, relationships among Polytrichopsida, Tetraphidopsida and Bryopsida remain unclear, as do the earliest splits within sublcass Bryidae.

The body of the adult aphid is 1.3 mm in length and flattened dorsoventrally (Takahashi 1920; Foottit et al. 2012). The antennae are six segmented and shorter than the length of the body (Russell 1982). The female aphids can be winged or wingless. Wingless females are oval and have a white wax dusting while winged females are similar in appearance, with a slight difference in antennal and leg structure (Hidalgo et al. 2015). The winged females will often have small scent glands, called pseudosensoria, present on their hind tibiae (the first segment of their hind legs) (Russell 1982).

In this preliminary experiment seeds of juniper from four stands in different elevations (1900, 2100, 2200, 2250 m) were subjected to two pre-treatments with different duration period: warm stratification for three-months followed by 45 days warm stratification followed by 45 days cold stratification, and six months with 90 days warm followed by 90 days cold stratification. In comparison to the other three stands, the stand 2100 above sea level had more vigorous trees from which the seeds were collected. After stratification, seed samples were subjected to a standard germination test according to ISTA regulations. Juniper seeds originating from the Kalamoun mountains showed with 92.5% a high percentage of empty seeds. The better quality of seeds with less empty seeds (87%) were found in the stand which included the more vigorous juniper trees in 2100 m above sea level. Germination of seeds was significantly dependant on the duration period of the warm and cold stratification.
