Norway Spruce Survival Rate in Two Forested Landscapes, 1975–2016 by Endijs Bāders, Oskars Krišāns, Jānis Donis, Didzis Elferts, Ieva Jaunslaviete, Āris Jansons

“…The increasing frequency and severity of natural disturbances (e.g., storms and insect outbreaks) due to climate change are expected to reduce the abundance of Norway spruce stands in the European forests. Under such conditions, the assessment of <i>status quo</i> on focusing on survival of Norway spruce stands are essential for the agility of forest management strategies. …”

Preselection of QTL markers enhances accuracy of genomic selection in Norway spruce by Zhi-Qiang Chen, Adam Klingberg, Henrik R. Hallingbäck, Harry X. Wu

“…Here, we performed GWAS and GP in a population with 904 clones from 32 full-sib families using a newly developed 50 k SNP Norway spruce array. Through GWAS we identified 41 SNPs associated with budburst stage (BB) and the largest effect association explained 5.1% of the phenotypic variation (PVE). …”

Characterization of Nanohybridosomes from Lipids and Spruce Homogenate Containing Extracellular Vesicles by Spasovski V, Romolo A, Zagorc U, Arrigler V, Kisovec M, Bedina Zavec A, Arko M, Molnár A, Schlosser G, Iglič A, Kogej K, Kralj-Iglič V

“…Spruce specific lipids and proteins were found in hybridosomes.Discussion: Simple and low-cost preparation method, non-demanding saving process and efficient formation procedure suggest that large-scale production of NSHs from lipids and spruce needle homogenate is feasible.Plain Language Summary: Cells shed into their exterior nanoparticles (here referred to as extracellular vesicles – EVs) that are free to move, reach distant cells and are taken up by them. …”
