Association of the cad-n1 allele with increased stem growth and wood density in full-sib families of loblolly pine

Yu, Q., Li, B., Nelson, C. D., McKeand, S. E., Batista, V. B., & Mullin, T. J. (2006, February 14). Tree Genetics & Genomes, Vol. 2, pp. 98–108.

author keywords: cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase; half-diallel mating; null mutation; heterozygotes; stem growth; wood density
topics (OpenAlex): Forest ecology and management; Forest Insect Ecology and Management; Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies
TL;DR: The cad-n1 effect on growth and wood density was significant across genetic backgrounds, the effect was variable among full-sib families within backgrounds, and it is speculated that certain wild-type alleles from second parents specifically interact with cad- n1 producing large positive effects.

topics (OpenAlex): Lignin and Wood Chemistry; Plant Gene Expression Analysis; Forest ecology and management
TL;DR: A rare mutant allele (cad-n1) of the cad gene in loblolly pine causes a deficiency in the production of cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD). (via Semantic Scholar)

Genetic variation in decay resistance and its correlation to wood density and growth in white spruce

Yu, Q., Yang, D.-Q., Zhang, S. Y., Beaulieu, J., & Duchesne, I. (2003, November 1). Canadian Journal of Forest Research.

By: Q. Yu*, D. Yang, S. Zhang, J. Beaulieu & I. Duchesne

topics (OpenAlex): Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Studies; Wood Treatment and Properties; Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases
TL;DR: This study investigated the genetic variation of white spruce in decay resistance and its correlation with wood density and growth and found three fungi were examined, a brown-riding fungus and a black-riddled fungus. (via Semantic Scholar)
