Open AccessDemographic history and adaptive synonymous and nonsynonymous variants of nuclear genes in Rhododendron oldhamii (Ericaceae)
Demographic events are important in sha** the population genetic structure and exon variation can play roles in adaptive divergence. Twelve nuclear genes were used to investigate the species-level phylogeogr...

Radial growth of Cinnamomum kanehirae Hayata displays a larger temperature sensitivity in dominant than codominant trees
The radial wood growth curves of Cinnamomum kanehirae Hayata (an endangered species of subtropical Taiwan) exhibit an S shape. The dominant trees displayed a...

Disentangling the effects of isolation-by-distance and isolation-by-environment on genetic differentiation among Rhododendron lineages in the subgenus Tsutsusi
Ecological speciation has long been noted as a central topic in the field of evolutionary biology, and investigation into the relative importance of ecological and geographical factors is becoming increasingly...

Genetic relationships and ecological divergence in Salix species and populations in Taiwan
Linking ecology with evolutionary biology is important to understand how environments drive population and species divergence. Phenotypically diverse Salix species, such as lowland riparian willow trees and middl...

Influences of environmental and spatial factors on genetic and epigenetic variations in Rhododendron oldhamii (Ericaceae)
Test of the relationship of genetic and particularly epigenetic variation with geographic isolation and environment is important to reveal potential environmental drivers for selection. Rhododendron oldhamii is w...

cDNA cloning and molecular characterization of five cellulose synthase A genes from Eucalyptus camaldulensis
Five cellulose synthase A (CesA) cDNA were cloned from secondary develo** xylem tissue of Eucalyptus camaldulensis tree designated EcCesA1 to EcCesA5. The EcCesA cDNA fragments ranged from 2,937 bp to 3,258 bp ...

Demography of the upward-shifting temperate woody species of the Rhododendron pseudochrysanthum complex and ecologically relevant adaptive divergence in its trailing edge populations
Trailing edge populations of upward migrating species induced by postglacial climatic warming can be evolutionarily significant in the face of global warming. We tested for population size changes between lowe...

Natural variation, functional divergence, and local adaptation of nucleotide binding site sequences in Rhododendron (Ericaceae)
To further understand natural variation and local adaptation in the evolution of plant defense, we analyzed polymorphism data of nucleotide-binding site (NBS) sequences of Rhododendron at both the species and pop...

Vegetative propagation of adult Eucalyptus grandis X urophylla and comparison of growth between micropropagated plantlets and rooted cuttings
Methods for the production of micropropagated plantlets and rooted cuttings were developed and used to vegetatively multiply adult Eucalyptus grandis X urophylla. Rooting success was less than 5% when cuttings ex...
