Bednorz L, Nowinska R (2018). Analysis of Growth of Recruits of Natural Regeneration of Sorbus Torminalis (L.) Crantz Research Article ii FF o o r r e e s s t t doi: 10.3832/ifor2347-010 Biogeosciences and Forestry vol. 11, pp. 72-78 Analysis of growth of recruits of natural regeneration of Sorbus torminalis (L.) Crantz - a rare European forest tree species Leszek Bednorz, We compared growth and survival of wild service tree (Sorbus torminalis [L.] Renata Nowinska Crantz) recruits of different origin (generative: seedlings; vegetative: root suckers) established in a fenced plot at the Forest District of Krzyz (north- western Poland). Total height, annual growth of the dominant shoot, stem diameter at root collar, number of first-order branches, and mortality were measured every year over the period 2011-2015 (5 years). In 2011, a total of 382 multi-age recruits originated both from seeds (212) and root suckers (170) were recorded. Five-year mortality was higher in the generative progeny (12.3% - only youngest seedlings) as compared with vegetative recruits (2.9%). The growth rate of individuals markedly increased with height as absolute val- ues, but slightly decreased in terms of relative growth. Statistical analysis revealed that the effect of the recruit origin on growth was noticeably weaker than that of age, defined in terms of development (height) classes. The origin of recruits had a major effect on the annual growth of the dominant shoots and a minor (though significant) effect on stem diameter and the number of first-order branches. Overall, the analysis of growth rate showed that genera- tive recruits grow faster than the vegetative ones. Our results highlight the importance of stimulating the generative regeneration and protecting seed- lings as a conservation strategy for Sorbus torminalis.

  • Patterns of Pollen Dispersal in a Small Population of the Canarian Endemic Palm (Phoenix Canariensis)
    Heredity (2014) 113, 215–223 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0018-067X/14 www.nature.com/hdy ORIGINAL ARTICLE Patterns of pollen dispersal in a small population of the Canarian endemic palm (Phoenix canariensis) I Saro1, JJ Robledo-Arnuncio2, MA Gonza´lez-Pe´rez1 and PA Sosa1 The genetic diversity of small populations is greatly influenced by local dispersal patterns and genetic connectivity among populations, with pollen dispersal being the major component of gene flow in many plants species. Patterns of pollen dispersal, mating system parameters and spatial genetic structure were investigated in a small isolated population of the emblematic palm Phoenix canariensis in Gran Canaria island (Canary Islands). All adult palms present in the study population (n ¼ 182), as well as 616 seeds collected from 22 female palms, were mapped and genotyped at 8 microsatellite loci. Mating system analysis revealed an average of 5.8 effective pollen donors (Nep) per female. There was strong variation in correlated paternity rates across maternal progenies (ranging from null to 0.9) that could not be explained by the location and density of local males around focal females. Paternity analysis revealed a mean effective pollen dispersal distance of B71 m, with B70% of effective pollen originating from a distance of o75 m, and 90% from o200 m. A spatially explicit mating model indicated a leptokurtic pollen dispersal kernel, significant pollen immigration (12%) from external palm groves and a directional pollen dispersal pattern that seems consistent with local altitudinal air movement. No evidence of inbreeding or genetic diversity erosion was found, but spatial genetic structure was detected in the small palm population.

  • Sorbus Torminalis
    Sorbus torminalis Sorbus torminalis in Europe: distribution, habitat, usage and threats E. Welk, D. de Rigo, G. Caudullo The wild service tree (Sorbus torminalis (L.) Crantz) is a fast-growing, light-demanding, clonally resprouting forest tree of disturbed forest patches and forest edges. It is widely distributed in southern, western and central Europe, but is a weak competitor that rarely dominates forests and never occurs in pure stands. The wild service tree is able to tolerate low winter temperatures, spring frosts, and summer droughts of up to two months. The species often grows in dry-warm and sparse forest habitats of low productivity and on steep slopes. It produces a hard and heavy, durable wood of high economic value. The wild service tree (Sorbus torminalis (L.) Crantz) is a medium-sized, fast-growing deciduous tree that usually grows up to 15-25 m with average diameters of 0.6-0.9 m, exceptionally Frequency 1-3 < 25% to 1.4 m . The mature tree is usually single-stemmed with a 25% - 50% distinctive ash-grey and scaly bark that often peels away in 50% - 75% > 75% rectangular strips. The shiny dark green leaves are typically Chorology 10x7 cm and have five to nine spreading, acute lobes. This Native species is monoecious hermaphrodite, flowers are white, insect pollinated, and arranged in corymbs of 20-30 flowers. The tree Yellow and red-brown leaves in autumn. has an average life span of around 100-200 years; the maximum (Copyright Ashley Basil, www.flickr.com: CC-BY) 1-3 is given as 300-400 years .

ABSTRACT Background and Aims: Finding new therapeutic enzyme inhibitors by investigating especially medicinal plants is an impor- tant research area. The fruits and leaves of Sorbus domestica (service tree) are used as food and folk remedies due to astrin- gent, antidiabetic, diuretic, antiinflammatory, antiatherogenic, antidiarrhoeal, vasoprotective, and vasorelaxant activities, and also used commercially as a vitamin and antioxidant. In this study, the therapeutic effect of S. domestica against diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, aging, and hyperuricemia was investigated. Methods: α-Glucosidase, α-amylase, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), elastase and xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitory activities of the fruit extract from S. domestica were measured. Results: The extract showed inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase, α-amylase, BChE, elastase, and XO whereas AChE inhibitory activity of the extract could not be determined. Moreover, the inhibition effects of the extract against α-glucosidase and elastase were more effective than the standard drugs acarbose and ursolic acid, respectively.

This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Sorbus torminalis (L.) Crantz (Wild Service-tree) that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main topics are presented within the standard framework of the Biological Flora of the British Isles: distribution, habitat, communities, responses to biotic factors, responses to environment, structure and physiology, phenology, floral and seed characters, herbivores and disease, history, and conservation. 2. Sorbus torminalis is an uncommon, mostly small tree (but can reach 33 m) native to lowland England and Wales, and temperate and Mediterranean regions of mainland Europe. It is the most shade-tolerant member of the genus in the British Isles and as a result it is more closely associated with woodland than any other British species. Like other British Sorbus species, however, it grows best where competition for space and sunlight is limited. Seedlings are shade tolerant but adults are only moderately so. This, combined with its low competitive ability, restricts the best growth to open areas. In shade, saplings and young adults form a sapling bank, This article has been accepted for publication and undergone full peer review but has not Accepted been through the copyediting, typesetting, pagination and proofreading process, which may lead to differences between this version and the Version of Record.

Wild service tree (Sorbus torminalis) is a valuable native species in Iran. It is one of the best alternative species for plantation in Hyrcanian forest in Northern Iran. In order to determine tree age effects on seed germination in a mountainous nursery, seeds were collected from 40 individual trees on nearly 40000 hectares of Iranian residual forests (1700-2200 m altitude) and planted during 2 successive years in a nursery, located 1500 m above sea level. Percentage of germinated seeds was recorded for the two planting dates. Age effects (DBH) on seed germination rate were significant (p<0.05). The best germination rate was related to trees with DBH of 25 to 35 cm both in the first and second year. Besides, differences between total germination rate during the first and second years were significant (p<0.01). Seed germination measured in the first year increased by 9.22% compared with the second year. The _____________ *Corresponding author, email: [email protected] and [email protected] 108 K.

  • Sorbus Torminalis
    Technical guidelines for genetic conservation and use Wild service tree Sorbus torminalis B. Demesure-Musch and S. Oddou-Muratorio EUFORGEN INRA, Genetic Conservation of Forest Trees ONF, Olivet, France These Technical Guidelines are intended to assist those who cherish the valuable wild service tree genepool and its inheritance, through conserving valuable seed sources or use in practical forestry. The focus is on conserving the genetic diversity of the species at the European scale. The recommendations provided in this module should be regarded as a commonly agreed basis to be complemented and further developed in local, national or regional conditions. The Guidelines are based on the available knowledge of the species and on widely accepted methods for the conservation of forest genetic resources. Biology and ecology Wild service tree (Sorbus tormi- nalis L. (Crantz)) is a diploid species (2n=34) belonging to the family Rosaceae. It can hybridize with at least two other species of Sorbus: whitebeam (Sorbus aria) and mountain ash (Sorbus aucu- paria). Hybridization with white- beam commonly occurs, especially where the natural ranges of these species over- lap. Most of these hybrids are triploid (3n=51) and a few (mainly Sorbus latifolia) are tetraploid (4n=78). Hybrids reproduce mainly by apomixes. Wild service tree is a fast- growing tree, reaching maximum height at around 80–100 years, when they are typically 20–25 m in height with trunks of 50–70 cm diameter. Exceptional trees can reach up to 30 m in height and 1 m diameter at 200 years old. Wild service tree produces hermaphrodite flowers visited by a wide range of generalist polli- nators (social bees, bumblebees orbusSorbus torminalisWild service treeSorbus torminalistorminalisWild service treeSorbus torminalisWild s and beetles).
