    Comparison of fertile and sterile male gametogenesis in Cryptomeria japonica D. Don

    Cryptomeria japonica D. Don is one of the most important conifers for forestry; however, the pollinosis caused by this species is the most prevalent allergy in Japan. Male-sterile mutants have attracted attention...

    Cytological study of a male-sterile Cryptomeria japonica that does not release microspores from tetrads

    To determine the mechanism of male-sterility Cryptomeria japonica tree Shindai3, the process of microspore development was observed under light and fluorescence microscopy. Microspore development in the Shindai3 ...

    Gene flow and mating system in five Cryptomeria japonica D. Don seed orchards as revealed by analysis of microsatellite markers

    We investigated gene flow in five Cryptomeria japonica D. Don seed orchards of two different types (common and miniature) at widely spaced locations using microsatellite markers. The quality of a seed crop is det...

    Plus tree of Cryptomeria japonica D. Don with a heterozygous male-sterility gene

    To find plus tree clones of Cryptomeria japonica that are heterozygous for a male-sterility gene (Aa), we crossed a homozygous male-sterile tree (aa) with 63 clones. Male sterility in this case is controlled by a...

    Stand structure and composition of a 60-year-old larch (Larix kaempferi) plantation with retained hardwoods

    Tree retention is understood as a key practice in creating complexity, leading to heterogeneity in resources and habitats in managed stands. In this article, we clarify the long-term effects of tree retention ...

    Study of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) with male-sterility gene using CAPS markers

    The frequency of open-pollinated male-sterile seedlings from a male-sterile mother tree in Cryptomeria japonica D. Don was determined in 765 open-pollinated seedlings. Pollen was not formed by 29 out of the 765 s...
