    Expression and Function of the Chloroplast-encoded Gene matK. Michelle Marie Barthet Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Biological Sciences K. W. Hilu, Chair E. Beers G. Gillaspy J. Sible R. A. Walker February 9, 2006 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: MatK, chloroplast, maturase, fast-evolving, Orchidaceae Copyright 2006, Michelle Marie Barthet Expression and Function of the chloroplast-encoded gene matK. Michelle Marie Barthet ABSTRACT The chloroplast matK gene has been identified as a rapidly evolving gene at nucleotide and corresponding amino acid levels. The high number of nucleotide substitutions and length mutations in matK has provided a strong phylogenetic signal for resolving plant phylogenies at various taxonomic levels. However, these same features have raised questions as to whether matK produces a functional protein product. matK is the only proposed chloroplast-encoded group II intron maturase. There are 15 genes in the chloroplast that would require a maturase for RNA splicing. Six of these genes have introns that are not excised by a nuclear imported maturase, leaving MatK as the only candidate for processing introns in these genes. Very little research has been conducted concerning the expression and function of this important gene and its protein product. It has become crucial to understand matK expression in light of its significance in RNA processing and plant systematics. In this study, we examined the expression, function and evolution of MatK using a combination of molecular and genetic methods. Our findings indicate that matK RNA and protein is expressed in a variety of plant species, and expression of MatK protein is regulated by development.

TURCOMANICUM RECH. F.) *Alireza Zare Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources Research Center of Khorasan Razavi *Author for Correspondence ABSTRACT Montpellier maple (Acer monspessulanum subsp. turcomanicum Rech. f.) is a valuable species in the mountain forests of Hezar Masjed in Northern Khorasan and Khorasan Razavi province that is expanded in the northeastern highlands of mountains of thousands of Hezar Masjed and Kope Dagh. This species because of the drought resistance is suitable for reforestation in semi-arid climate. Its seed is collected from highlands of the southern slopes of the Kopet Dagh and pretreatment test of dormancy breaking which includes moist chilling (in four levels 0,3, 4 and 5 months) and scarification (Sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid) and applying gibberellic acid hormone is done (at two levels of 250 and 500 ppm concentration). Indicators including seed viability, germination rate, mean of germination time, duration and completion of the germination and establishment percentage of seedlings were recorded and analyzed after six months in the greenhouse environment.This research is applied in a completely randomized design with four replications and data were analyzed by using LSD test method and SAS software. The results showed that seed germination percentage has significant difference among treatments at level (P <0.001).

The objective of the current study was to determine the influence of altitude and slope on physical properties and fiber dimensions of Persian oak wood. In addition, the relationship among wood properties, site conditions (temperature and rainfall) and growth traits of trees (tree height, DBH, basal area, age, crown diameter, crown basal area, volume and annual diameter increment) were studied by principal component analysis (PCA). Three altitude levels (1730, 1980 and 2250 m) and three slope classes (<30%, 30–45% and >45%) were considered in the current study. It was determined that trees growing in the intermediate altitude (1980 m) showed the highest oven-dry density values, and those in the lowest altitude (1730 m) revealed the lowest ones. The results also indicate significant statistical differences between altitude levels and slope classes on the fiber length, fiber diameter and volumetric swelling at the 99% confidence interval while no significant differences were found between average values of oven-dry density among different altitudes and slopes.

  • Eulogy for Acer
    Eulogy for Acer ... For an all too brief period each autumn the woods of North America and the Orient, and many gardens throughout the temperate world, are ablaze with scarlet, gold, and yellow when maples, the most spectacular of all trees, adorn the countryside. Maples delight the eye, provide one of nature's finest sweets, and hold their own as timber with even the mighty oaks. Throughout the ages people have been enchanted with this magnificent and versatile genus of trees known as Acer.

The trial was conducted with the input and cooperation for the Colorado Nursery Research and Education Foundation and Plant Select®. Data was collected from 2006-2010 at five sites with different soils, climates and cultural practices. Plants were evaluated based on size, growth, survival, aesthetics and heath. The taxa evaluated were: Acer monspessulanum, Juniperus scopulorum 'Woodward', Larix decidua, Prunus serotina (of central Texas providence), Pyrus ussuriensis 'Burgundy', Quercus polymorpha and, Quercus × pauciloba. Researchers recommend Juniperus scopulorum 'Woodward', Prunus serotina and, Quercus × pauciloba for widespread use in the state. Quercus polymorpha did not prove adapted to any of the sites and is not recommended. Larix decidua and Pyrus ussuriensis 'Burgundy' did not perform well at all sites and are only recommended for use in the state in some situations. ii CHAPTER 2: EVALUATION OF DIFFERENCES IN DROUGHT TOLERANCE OF THREE AMELANCHIER SPECIES In the summer and fall of 2010, research was conducted to evaluate the drought tolerance of Amelanchier alnifolia, Amelanchier canadensis, and Amelanchier utahensis.
