Distribution of (14)C-labeled photosynthate in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) seedlings as affected by season and time after exposure

Distribution of (14)C-labeled photosynthate was determined in field-grown loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) seedlings on August 9 and October 15, 1984 and January 15 and March 12, 1985. Leaves on a lateral branch fixed (14)C photosynthetically and amounts of (14)C in seven biochemical fractions in each of six plant parts were determined 8, 24, and 72 h later. In all treatments, (14)C uptake was approximately 96% of that originally presented. Respiratory loss of (14)C ranged from 22 to 87% of uptake and increased sharply with increasing time after exposure and as the seedlings grew larger later in the study. Most (14)C was found in exposed leaves and very little occurred above the exposed branch. Amounts of (14)C decreased in the exposed leaves and increased in the roots with time after exposure and date. Sugars were generally the most heavily labeled fraction. Labeled sugar content of exposed leaves decreased by more than half between 8 and 72 h as sugars were metabolized and translocated to other parts, primarily the roots. In roots, the labeling of starch and residue (structural compounds) increased greatly with transport time and season. In all plant parts, proteins and amino acids contained very little (14)C regardless of date or time.

Belowground carbon dynamics in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) immediately following diammonium phosphate fertilization

Forest soils store an immense quantity of labile carbon (C) and a may be a large potential sink for atmospheric C. Forest management practices such as fertilization may enhance overall C storage in soils, yet changes in physiological processes following nutrient amendments have not been widely investigated. We intensively monitored belowground C dynamics for nearly 200 days following diammonium phosphate fertilization of pot-grown loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) seedlings in an effort to examine the short-term effects of fertilization on processes involved in soil C sequestration. Soil respiration rates initially increased in fertilized pots relative to controls, followed by a brief reversal in this trend and then a final sustained pattern of elevated rates of soil respiration in the fertilized treatment. Patterns in soil respiration rates over time reflected changes in autotrophic (root) and heterotrophic (microbial) components of soil respiration. Root respiration rates were greater in the fertilized treatment 49 days following fertilization and returned to control rates by the end of the study. In contrast, microbial respiration rates and microbial activity per soil C concentration remained depressed over the same time period. Compared with control seedlings, total root biomass was 27% greater in fertilized seedlings harvested at the end of the study, indicating that the elevated soil respiration rates observed toward the end of the study were a result of increased respiring root biomass. We conclude that fertilization, at least over the short-term, may increase soil C sequestration by increasing belowground biomass production and reducing microbial driven C turnover.     

Movement of respiratory CO(2) in stems of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) seedlings

Temperature-independent fluctuations in stem CO(2) efflux were measured in Pinus taeda L. seedlings. Stem CO(2) efflux was measured during high and low transpiration rates, high and low net photosynthesis rates, and normal and interrupted substrate supply conditions. Stem CO(2) efflux rates were an average of 6.7% lower during periods of high transpiration compared to periods of low transpiration. This difference in stem CO(2) efflux rates was not due to water stress. The most likely cause was movement of respiratory CO(2) in the transpiration stream. Interruption of substrate supply to the stem by phloem girdling reduced stem CO(2) efflux rates. Increasing net photosynthesis rates from low to high had no effect on stem CO(2) efflux, but decreasing net photosynthesis from high to low caused relatively small reductions in stem CO(2) efflux. These results indicate that diurnal changes in net photosynthesis rate may play a small role in temperature-independent afternoon depressions of stem CO(2) efflux. The transport of respiratory CO(2) by the transpiration stream compromises measurements of woody tissue respiration obtained by commonly accepted gas exchange techniques. This phenomenon could also affect measurement of leaf net photosynthesis and branch woody tissue respiration.     

Water availability and branch length determine delta(13)C in foliage of Pinus pinaster

The stable carbon isotope composition (delta(13)C) of foliage integrates signals resulting from environmental and hydraulic constraints on water movement and photosynthesis. We used branch length as a simple predictor of hydraulic constraints to water fluxes and determined the response of delta(13)C to varying water availability. Foliage up to 6 years old was taken from Pinus pinaster Ait. trees growing at four sites differing in precipitation (P; 414-984 mm year(-1)) and potential evaporation (ET; 1091-1750 mm year(-1)). Branch length was the principal determinant of temporal trends in delta(13)C. The strong relationship between delta(13)C and branch length was a function of hydraulic conductance, which was negatively correlated with branch length (r(2) = 0.84). Variation in P and ET among sites was reflected in delta(13)C, which was negatively correlated with P/ET (r(2) = 0.66). However, this analysis was confounded by differences in branch length. If the effects of branch length on delta(13)C were first removed, then the 'residual' delta(13)C was more closely related to P/ET (r(2) = 0.99), highlighting the importance of accounting for variation in hydraulic constraints to water flux between sites and years. For plant species that exhibit considerable phenotypic plasticity in response to changes in environment (e.g., variation in leaf area, branch length and number, or stem form), the environmental effects on delta(13)C in foliage can only be reliably assessed if deconvoluted from hydraulic constraints.     

Dynamic response of stomata to changing irradiance in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.)

Dynamic changes in stomatal conductance and the rate of photosynthesis were measured as periods of shading (decrease in irradiance from 800 to 200 micro mol m(-2) s(-1)) between 5 and 60 min were imposed on needles of Pinus taeda L. trees under laboratory conditions. Shading induced a 39% decrease in stomatal conductance but the rate of change was slow. Average time constants (+/- standard error) were shorter for the decrease in stomatal conductance when shading was imposed for 30 min (14.8 +/- 1.3 min) than for the increase in stomatal conductance when shading was removed (25.5 +/- 3.4 min). The time constants for increasing stomatal conductance when shading was removed were linearly related to the length of the previous dark period. The rate of photosynthesis fell immediately by 58% when shading was imposed and increased more rapidly than the change in stomatal conductance when shading was removed. The increase in photosynthesis during the induction phase after shading was removed was limited by both stomatal and biochemical effects. The long time constants for stomatal response contributed to the poor correlations between stomatal conductance and instantaneous measurements of irradiance from field data. However, the slow response of stomatal conductance to changes in irradiance had little effect on total daily transpiration, carbon gain and water-use efficiency.     

Profitability potential for Pinus taeda L. (loblolly pine) short-rotation bioenergy plantings in the southern USA

The use of renewable resources is important to the developing bioenergy economy and short rotation woody crops (SRWC) are key renewable feedstocks. A necessary step in advancing SRWC is defining regions suitable for SRWC commercial activities and assessing the relative economic viability among suitable regions. The goal of this study was to assess the potential profitability, based on obtainable yield and economic feasibility; of Pinus taeda L. (loblolly pine) across 13 states of the southern USA. A process-based growth model, 3PG, produced estimated yields of P. taeda in terms of mean annual increment (MAI) that were evaluated as internal rate of return on investment (IRR) and land expectation value (LEV). Coastal areas (southeast Texas, southwest Louisiana, and northern Florida) have the highest potential MAI production ranging from 13.7 to 18.9 Mg ha^− 1 yr^− 1. LEVs ranged from − 1126 to 3111 $ ha^− 1 on upland sites and − 2261 to 2341 $ ha^− 1 on lowland sites. IRR ranged from − 0.3% to 14.2% on uplands and − 2.9% to 10.4% on lowlands. On soils of the same textural class, LEV and IRR were higher on uplands relative to lowlands given lower site preparation costs, although the projected yield from upland soils are generally lower than those from lowland soils. The highest LEV and IRR were in northern Florida, southern Alabama, southern Georgia, and southern South Carolina. The lowest LEV and IRR were in Virginia and northern North Carolina. Spatially categorizing suitable lands in biological and economic terms can use geographic information system technology to advantage in combination with societal considerations to begin to answer sustainability questions as well as identify suitable sites for bioenergy plantations.

Early genetic evaluation methods for cyclic growth in Pinus taeda L.

The seedling growth trait, cyclic growth, is well-correlated with older-tree heights measured in Pinus taeda L. field trials. These results have been repeatable across locations and seed sources if a standard greenhouse procedure is followed. This work is been limited to cyclic growth measured on P. taeda families and seed sources. The use of a standard greenhouse procedure will facilitate comparison with other early genetic evaulation methods for P. taeda and with similar studies on other Pinus species.     

Influences of antibiotics on plantlet regeneration via organogenesis in Ioblolly pine （Pinus taeda L.）

Three antibiotics ampicillin, carbenicillin, and cefotaxime were evaluated for their effects on induction, growth, and differentiation of organogenic calli, as well as rooting of regenerated shoots of three Ioblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) genotypes. Of the antibiotics administered, cefotaxime maximally increased the frequency of callus formation and growth rate of organogeni ccalli, carbenicillin maximally increased the frequency of shoot regeneration and the average number of adventitious shoots per piece of organogenic callus, ampicUlin maximally decreased the rooting frequency of regenerated shoots and mean number of roots per regenerated shoot, in comparison with antibiotic-free media. Compared with the control, ampicillin minimally increased the frequency of callus formation, cefotaxime minimally increased the frequency of shoot regeneration, and carbenicillin minimally decreased the rooting frequency of regenerated shoots in three Ioblolly pine genotypes tested. All three antibiotics increased the frequencies of callus formation and shoot regeneration, and reduced the rooting frequency ot regenerated shoots suggested that the establishment of an efficient Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation protocol for stable integration of foreign genes into Ioblolly pine need to select a suitable antibiotic. This investigation could be useful for optimizing genetic transformation of conifers.

Acclimation of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) seedlings to high temperatures

To determine the extent to which loblolly pine seedlings (Pinus taeda L.) acclimate to high temperatures, seedlings from three provenances-southeastern Texas (mean annual temperature 20.3 degrees C), southwestern Arkansas (mean annual temperature 16.2 degrees C) and Chesapeake, Maryland (mean annual temperature 12.8 degrees C)-were grown at constant temperatures of 25, 30, 35 or 40 degrees C in growth chambers. After two months, only 14% of the seedlings in the 40 degrees C treatment survived, so the treatment was dropped from the experiment. Provenance and family differences were not significant for most measured variables. Total biomass was similar in the 25 and 30 degrees C treatments, and less in the 35 degrees C treatment. Foliage biomass was higher, and root biomass lower, in the 30 degrees C treatment compared with the 25 degrees C treatment. Net photosynthesis and dark respiration of all seedlings were measured at 25, 30 and 35 degrees C. Both net photosynthesis and dark respiration exhibited acclimation to the temperature at which the seedlings were grown. For each temperature treatment, the highest rate of net photosynthesis was measured at the growth temperature. Dark respiration rates increased with increasing measurement temperature, but the basal rate of respiration, measured at 25 degrees C, decreased from 0.617 &mgr;mol m(-2) s(-1) in the 25 degrees C treatment to 0.348 &mgr;mol m(-2) s(-1) in the 35 degrees C treatment, resulting in less carbon loss in the higher temperature treatments than if the seedlings had not acclimated to the growth conditions. Temperature acclimation, particularly of dark respiration, may explain why total biomass of seedlings grown at 30 degrees C was similar to that of seedlings grown at 25 degrees C.     

Effect of magnetic treatment on seed germination of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.)

Based on preliminary experiments, the speed of germination (SG) was in general increased for Pinus taeda L. seeds treated with a static magnetic field (B = 150 mT) for 10, 30 and 60 min. Negative impact was obtained for seeds treated with SMF for 24 h and 48 h. Mean germination time (MGT), the SG, and time required to obtain 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90% of seeds to germinate (T₁₀–T₉₀) were calculated. Results showed a reduction of the MGT and T₁₀–T₉₀ for seeds treated with SMF for 10, 30, and 60 min; therefore, the germination speed was increased. Among various magnetic treatments, loblolly pine seeds treated with S3 (SMF60 min) yielded the peak performance.     

Distribution of lignin in normal and compression wood of Pinus taeda L.

Summary The distribution of lignin in normal and compression wood of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) has been studied by the technique of lignin skeletonizing. Hydrolysis of the wood carbohydrates with hydrofluoric acid left normal wood tracheids with a uniform distribution of lignin in the S1 and S2 cell wall layers. However, the S3 region of both earlywood and latewood tracheids consistently retained a dense network of unhydrolyzable material throughout, perhaps lignin.Lignin content in compression wood averaged about 7% more than in normal wood and appears to be concentrated in the outer zone of the S2 layer. The inner S2 region, despite helical checking, is also heavily lignified. The S1 layer, although thicker than normal in compression wood tracheids, contains relatively little lignin.Ray cells, at least in normal wood, appear to be lignified to the same extent, if not more so in certain cases, than the longitudinal tracheids. Other locations where lignin may be concentrated include initial pit border regions and the membranes of bordered pits.This report is a detailed excerpt from the Ph. D. dissertation of R. A. P.

Timing and magnitude of C partitioning through a young loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) stand using 13C labeling and shade treatments

The dynamics of rapid changes in carbon (C) partitioning within forest ecosystems are not well understood, which limits improvement of mechanistic models of C cycling. Our objective was to inform model processes by describing relationships between C partitioning and accessible environmental or physiological measurements, with a special emphasis on short-term C flux through a forest ecosystem. We exposed eight 7-year-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) trees to air enriched with (13)CO(2) and then implemented adjacent light shade (LS) and heavy shade (HS) treatments in order to manipulate C uptake and flux. The impacts of shading on photosynthesis, plant water potential, sap flow, basal area growth, root growth and soil CO(2) efflux rate (CER) were assessed for each tree over a 3-week period. The progression of the (13)C label was concurrently tracked from the atmosphere through foliage, phloem, roots and surface soil CO(2) efflux. The HS treatment significantly reduced C uptake, sap flow, stem growth and fine root standing crop, and resulted in greater residual soil water content to 1 m depth. Soil CER was strongly correlated with sap flow on the previous day, but not the current day, with no apparent treatment effect on the relationship. Although there were apparent reductions in new C flux belowground, the HS treatment did not noticeably reduce the magnitude of belowground autotrophic and heterotrophic respiration based on surface soil CER, which was overwhelmingly driven by soil temperature and moisture. The (13)C label was immediately detected in foliage on label day (half-life = 0.5 day), progressed through phloem by Day 2 (half-life = 4.7 days), roots by Days 2-4, and subsequently was evident as respiratory release from soil which peaked between Days 3 and 6. The δ(13)C of soil CO(2) efflux was strongly correlated with phloem δ(13)C on the previous day, or 2 days earlier. While the (13)C label was readily tracked through the ecosystem, the fate of root C through respiratory, mycorrhizal or exudative release pathways was not assessed. These data detail the timing and relative magnitude of C flux through various components of a young pine stand in relation to environmental conditions.     

Response of planted Pinus taeda L. to brush control in Northern Louisana

Eradication of brush, defined as hardwood trees, shrubs, blackberries, vines, and volunteer pines, was not necessary to maximize juvenile pine growth in northern Louisiana Pinus taeda L. plantations. Pine height and diameter gains were similar on treatments when either (1) only the above ground portion of the brush was cut yearly or (2) both the above ground stems and root systems of brush species were controlled each year. At age 10, planted pines on both treatments averaged 0.9 m taller with a 2.5 cm greater stem diameter at breast height (1.4 m) than those on untreated checks. Total outside bark volume per pine averaged 51.9 dm³ on checks vs 78.5 dm³ on treated plots.

Free proline changes in Pinus taeda L. callus in response to drought stress

The amino acid, proline (PRO), may have an important role in plant adaptation to drought stress. To study the effect of drought stress on PRO content of pine tissues, we measured free PRO by high pressure liquid chromatography in control ( -0.4 MPa) and drought-stressed ( -0.8, -1.0, -1.3, -1.6 MPa) callus tissue of Pinus taeda L. after eight weeks of growth. Drought stress was induced by adding polyethylene glycol (PEG) to the nutrient media. The relation between PRO accumulation and water potential was influenced by composition of the medium and temperature. Callus growing in media with water potentials of -0.8 MPa showed no increase in PRO compared to control callus in media at -0.4 MPa. When callus tissue was subjected to low water potentials (-1.6 MPa), endogenous PRO concentration increased 40-fold, while callus fresh weight decreased by more than 90%. When exogenous PRO was added to the nutrient media, endogenous PRO was directly proportional to the exogenous PRO concentration rather than reduction in callus growth. Thus low water potential in callus results in endogenous PRO accumulation and large reductions in callus fresh weight growth. Proline accumulation in pine cells appears to be related to mechanisms associated with tolerance to desiccation.
