TL;DR: It is demonstrated that bud break can advance under night-time warming, but to a lesser extent than under daytime warming, and prediction models using daily timescales should be recalibrated for higher temporal resolutions.

TL;DR: The somatic embryogenic process was investigated using immature and mature zygotic embryos originating from 13 open-pollinated seed families selected for their embryogenic capacity from over 128 seed families of Pinus strobus.

TL;DR: Genetic markers from the nuclear, chloroplast, and mitochondrial genomes were developed to distinguish unambiguously among four larch species used in intensive forestry in eastern North America, and should be useful for the certification of larch breeding materials and hybrid stocks used inintensive forestry in the northern hemisphere.

TL;DR: In this paper, the correlation between wood density and growth rate tends to lessen as the tree ages, which suggests that the correlation among juvenile and mature wood is significant but moderate, thus, juvenile wood characters are only indicative of mature wood ones, and individual growth rings from the juvenile-mature wood transition zone can be used to predict the wood density of either mature wood or the whole tree.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that drone-based carotenoid-sensitive spectral indices, such as the chlorophyll carotinoid index (CCI), can be used to track phenology in conifers by taking advantage of the close relationship between seasonally changing carotanoid levels and the variation of photosynthetic activity.
