Synopsis (short abstract) The breeding of forest tree requires a much longer and more expensive effort than the breeding of other plants. Especially, one breeding cycle for Korean red pine takes 40-50 years in conventional breeding. To reduce the period of breeding cycle of Korean red pine, genomic selection (GS), where analysis is based on the all effects of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using molecular markers of high-density, was attempted using individual data of four half-sib populations. The genotypic and phenotypic data of an individual were obtained from 50K SNP chip and 3D LiDAR scanner, respectively. For genomic selection related to four growth traits, the predictive ability of seven genomic prediction models was evaluated within- and between-regional approach. At first, the number of markers (2K, 6K, 10K and 16K) was tested and it was found that predictive abilities of genomic prediction models showed similar patterns with 6K and more markers. In addition, the predictive abilities of genomic prediction with 6K markers and three-fold cross-validation within region were estimated as 0.07~0.38 in height, 0.06~0.29 in DBH, 0.02~0.27 in straightness, and 0.06~0.25 in volume. Most of the genomic prediction results were higher than the results of A-BLUP based on the pedigree. Subsequently, when genomic prediction between regions was performed by using five regions as training population and a region as validation population, the predictive abilities were lower than that of within-region predictions. These results indicated that it is possible to improve Korean red pine for growth trait through genomic selection within region, but more experiment will be needed for between-region prediction. This study was the first trial of genomic selection for Korean forest tree, and suggested the possibility of its application to Korean red pine breeding. Keywords: Research ID: 3619084

    The early growth performances of Pinus densiflora and Larix kaempferi seedlings under open-field experimental warming and precipitation manipulation

    This study aimed to investigate the effects of climate change on the survival and growth performance of Pinus densiflora and Larix kaempferi seedlings using open-field experimental warming and precipitation manipulation. We measured the survival rate, root-collar diameter, and height, and then calculated the seedling quality index (SQI) of 2-year-old seedlings under 6 treatments [2 temperatures (TC: Control; TW: Warming) × 3 precipitation manipulations (PC: Control; PD: Decreased; PI: Increased)] and performed a two-way ANOVA to test for differences. The air temperature of the warming plots was 3°C higher than that of the control plots, while the precipitation manipulation plots received ±40% of the precipitation received by the control plots. Temperature and precipitation treatments did not significantly affect the survival rate of P. densiflora; however, the SQI of P. densiflora decreased with increasing precipitation. In contrast, the mortality rate of L. kaempferi increased with increasing temperature and decreasing precipitation. Furthermore, in L. kaempferi, TC × PI treatment resulted in the lowest SQI with a significant interaction effect observed between the two factors. In summary, low seedling production and quality should be expected in P. densiflora as precipitation increases and in L. kaempferi as temperature increases or precipitation decreases. These results indicate species-specific sensitivities to climate change of two plant species at the nursery stage. With the occurrence of global warming, the frequencies of drought and heavy rainfall events are increased, and this could affect the survival and seedling quality of tree species. Therefore, it is necessary to improve nursery techniques by establishing new adaptation strategies based on species-specific growth performance responses. 1) Keywords: Climate change ID: 3622385

    Effects of drought stress and nitrogen fertilization on growth and physiological characteristics of Pinus densiflora seedlings under elevated temperature and CO2 concentrations

    Pinus densiflora is the most widely distributed tree species in South Korea. Its ecological and socio-cultural attributes makes it one of the most important tree species in S. Korea. In recent times however, the distribution of P. densiflora has been affected by dieback. This phenomena has largely been attributed to climate change. This study was conducted to investigate the responses of growth and physiology of P. densiflora to drought and nitrogen fertilization according to the RCP 8.5 scenario. A Temperature Gradient Chamber (TGC) and CO2- Temperature Gradient Chamber (CTGC) were used to simulate climate change conditions. The treatments were established with temperature (control versus +3 and +5°C; aCeT) and CO2 (control: aCaT versus x1.6 and x2.2; eCeT), watering (control versus drought), fertilization (control versus fertilized). Net photosynthesis (Pn), stomatal conductance (gs), biomass and soil water content (SWC) were measured to examine physiological responses and growth. Relative SWC in aCeT significantly decreased after the onset of drought. Pn and gs in both aCeT and eCeT with fertilization were high before drought yet decreased rapidly after 13 days under drought. The fastest mortality showed in aCeT but the longest survival was observed in eCeT. Total and partial biomass (leaf, stem and root) in both aCeT and eCeT with fertilization were significantly high, but significantly low in aCeT. The results of the study are helpful in addressing P. densiflora vulnerability to climate change by highlighting physiological responses related to carbon allocation under differing simlulated environmental stressors.

    Wood transcriptome analysis of Pinus densiflora identifies genes critical for secondary cell wall formation and NAC transcription factors involved in tracheid formation

    Although conifers have significant ecological and economic value, information on transcriptional regulation of wood formation in conifers is still limited. Here, to gain insight into secondary cell wall (SCW) biosynthesis and tracheid formation in conifers, we performed wood tissue-specific transcriptome analyses of Pinus densiflora (Korean red pine) using RNA sequencing. In addition, to obtain full-length transcriptome information, PacBio single molecule real-time (SMRT) iso-sequencing was carried out using RNAs from 28 tissues of P. densiflora. Subsequent comparative tissue-specific transcriptome analysis successfully pinpointed critical genes encoding key proteins involved in biosynthesis of the major secondary wall components (cellulose, galactoglucomannan, xylan, and lignin). Furthermore, we predicted a total of 62 NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2 and CUC2) family transcription factor members and identified seven PdeNAC genes preferentially expressed in developing xylem tissues in P. densiflora. Protoplast-based transcriptional activation analysis found that four PdeNAC genes, homologous to VND, NST and SND/ANAC075, upregulated GUS activity driven by an SCW-specific cellulose synthase promoter. Consistently, transient overexpression of the four PdeNACs induced xylem vessel cell-like SCW deposition in both tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana) and Arabidopsis leaves. Taken together, our data provide a foundation for further research to unravel transcriptional regulation of wood formation in conifers, especially SCW formation and tracheid differentiation.
