Seedlings of 60 loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) families representing four populations, Atlantic Coastal, Piedmont, Coastal x Piedmont, and Piedmont x Coastal were compared for early seedling growth and cold hardiness. The objectives of this study were to examine seedling growth of the four populations in a greenhouse environment and cold hardiness of the four populations in controlled environments (preconditioning) designed to mimic environmental conditions in the Piedmont areas planned for deployment. In addition family differences within each population for seedling growth characteristics (height, root collar diameter, and volume index) and cold hardiness were evaluated. The Atlantic Coastal population was the tallest in average, followed by the Coastal x Piedmont hybrids, the Piedmont x Coastal hybrids, and the Piedmont population. All improved populations were superior in seedling growth to the unimproved Piedmont checklot. The height superiority appears to be related to length of the growing season in the provenance of origin. There was not much distinction between populations for root collar diameter although the improved populations were all superior to the checklot. Differences in volume index were related to family rather than population effects, and differences in height contributed more to volume growth than differences in diameter. Cold injury was not significantly different based on preconditioning treatments, but differences in cold hardiness were related to population and families. Hybrids behaved in a manner similar to the maternal parent. Heritability estimates were moderate for injury assessment, indicating that cold injury is under strong genetic control. Coastal families had the highest narrow sense heritability for injury (h2=0.45) followed by the Piedmont families and Coastal x Piedmont hybrids. Coastal x Piedmont hybrids had the highest heritability for survival followed by the Piedmont families. There was a strong genetic correlation between.

Download Growth and Physiology of Loblolly Pine (Pinus Taeda) Seedlings as Affected by Genetics of the Root System Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Effects of root and shoot genotypes on productivity and physiology of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) seedlings were evaluated in contrasting nutrient regimes. Twelve-week-old seedlings from contrasting provenances were grafted reciprocally to facilitate distinction of rootstock and scion effects. Five open-pollinated families each from a mesic region (Atlantic Coastal Plain) and from a xeric region (Lost Pines Texas) were planted in a split-plot design on a nutrient-poor site in the Sandhills region of central North Carolina. A total of 1800 seedlings were used, including non-grafted trees as controls. Half of the plots were fertilized annually, and after one and two growing seasons, seedlings were harvested for component biomass determinations. Total biomass production among families was positively related to proportional biomass allocation to roots. Generally, mesic sources produced more total biomass and allocated proportionally more biomass to roots. When fertilized, mesic rootstocks were always associated with greater mass in aboveground components, regardless of scion genotype. Rootstock affected stem growth efficiency, in that xeric rootstocks were associated with increased proportional allocation to stem, regardless of scion type. Effects of root system genotype on leaf gas exchange of selected families were evaluated and related to tree growth. In two families from each provenance, light-saturated net photosynthesis (An) and stomatal conductance (gs) were measured monthly during the second growing season. Leaf carbon isotope discrimination (C13) was analyzed to estimate water use efficiency (WUE) of genotypes. Provenances differed in stomatal conductance (gs) but not in photosynthesis (An), averaged over all months. The mesic sources had lower gs and higher intrinsic WUE (An/gs). Rootstocks affected gs and leaf C13 but not An nor WUEi of scions. Leaf tissue C13 was inversely associated with stem growth efficiency and with root biomass among families, but was u.
