Present population structure and patterns of genetic diversity in forest trees have been
influenced by past anthropogenic activities and the major aim of this review is to assess the …

Seedlings of four populations each of Pinus pinaster, P. halepensis, P. canariensis and P.
pinea were grown in controlled conditions to evaluate both inter-and intra-specific …

Microsatellite transfer across coniferous species is a valued methodology because de novo
development for each species is costly and there are many species with only a limited …

Pinus pinea L. is one of the most important nut species in the world given the high nutritional
and culinary value of its seed, the pine nuts, with increasing demand. The objective of this …

Climate change models predict an increase in aridity in many parts of the world for the
twenty-first century, which is likely to be more intense in the Mediterranean basin than in …

Abstract The European Black Pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) has a long and complex history.
Genetic distance and frequency analyses identified three differentiated genetic groups …

Few studies have been conducted on Stone pine (Pinus pinea) morphology, cone to kernel
yield (KY) and composition. To study the species variability, a morphometric and chemical …

Stone pine (Pinus pinea) is characterized by low differentiation of growth parameters, high
phenotypic plasticity and low genetic variability; detecting its diversity in introduced Chilean …

Pinus pinea is characterized by phenotypic plasticity, tolerance to harsh soils and climates,
but low differentiation in growth parameters and low genetic variability. Growth and cone …

In order to assess genetic diversity within and among populations of Pinus pinea L.(stone
