Stable transformation of Populus and incorporation of pest resistance by electric discharge particle acceleration.
TL;DR: Three different target tissues (protoplast-derived cells, nodules, and stems) and two unrelated hybrid genotypes of Populus have been stably transformed by electric discharge particle acceleration using a 18.7 kb plasmid containing NOS-NPT, CaMV 35S-GUS, and CaMS-BT.

Effects of mass inoculation on induced oleoresin response in intensively managed loblolly pine.
TL;DR: It is observed that constitutive and induced resin yield in loblolly pine, Pinus taeda L., were affected by either fungal inoculation (with the southern pine beetle-associated fungus Ophiostoma minus (Hedgcock) H. & P. Sydow) or silvicultural treatment.
Characterization of hybrid poplar clones for resistance to the forest tent caterpillar
Abstract:
Forest tent caterpillar, Malacosoma disstria Hbn., behavioral and developmental interactions with 15 hybrid Populus spp. clones were studied in laboratory and glasshouse trials. Significant differences in larval preference and performance among the clones were found. Larval development time ranged from 30 to 52 days. Second-instar preference and larval development were significantly correlated, but 4th-instar preference and larval development were not. Second- and fourth-instar preferences were not correlated. Clonal productivity and tolerance of defoliation varied significantly, but were not correlated. The relationships between productivity, defoliation tolerance, and insect resistance were examined in regard to plant defense theory, host plant resistance, clonal selections for tree improvement, and assay utility. For. Sci. 40(4):686-714.

TL;DR: A disjunct arises when three overlapping but distinct concepts are conflated: pest management, sustainability, and ecosystem functioning as mentioned in this paper, which is the most commonly used term in ecosystem management.

Effects of Constitutive and Inducible Traits of Hybrid Poplars on Forest Tent Caterpillar Feeding and Population Ecology
TL;DR: The relationships between clonal suitability and forest tent caterpillar population growth were strongly influenced by bud phenology and exudates, in addition to foliar traits.
