The most interesting factors associated with seed and cone production of Aleppo pine were
largely reviewed to identify broad patterns and potential effectiveness of reforestation efforts …

Unfavorable genetic correlations between growth and wood quality traits are one of the
biggest challenges in advanced conifer breeding programs. To examine and deal with such …

Abstract Pinus Pinaster Ait. is a softwood species indigenous of the South West of Europe,
broadly spread alongside the Mediterranean Sea and present worldwide. Pinus Pinaster …

Key message Intra-annual wood density fluctuations are valuable indicators of the role of the
local climate and provenance origins on tree growth. These intra-ring wood features were …

В необъятном море экспоненциально нарастающей информации важно вычленить и
обосновать перспективные направления, научные ориентиры-маяки, ускоряющие …

The reduction of resinous species in Portuguese forest areas has caused constraints to
wood industry supplies. Portugal represents the extreme southwest of Scots pine (Pinus …

Key message We elucidated the age trends of narrow-sense heritability and
phenotypic/genetic correlations and the age–age genetic correlation of growth ring …

Abstract Key message In Europe, P. nigra wood presents a density pattern of longitudinal
variation with an increase from east to west. However, no latitudinal tendencies were …

Key message The wood of Pinus nigra populations planted in Portugal, comparatively to
Pinus pinaster, has higher total extractive content, lower Klason lignin and H/G ratio, and …

Volume and stem straightness were the main selection criteria for the first two generations of
the French maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) breeding programme. In this article, we …
