Pulp Wood

The major tree species grown for pulp and paper industry in India are eucalypts, poplars, casuarinas, subabul and acacias. There is a growing demand for pulp and paper products with minimum adverse effect on natural forest and environment. Genetic transformation in these pulp woods are aimed at enhancing growth, wood characteristics and stress tolerance. However, genetic transformation of trees is a time consuming process because of long life cycle, recent domestication status and recalcitrance to <italic>in vitro</italic> procedures. Though various instances of incorporating desired trait by transformations in trees have been reported, the effect of genetically modified trees on surrounding ecosystems need further studies. Efforts towards making transgenic trees should take in to consideration of alleviation of public concerns on pollen dispersal, contamination of wild germplasm and biosafety.

Ecological Flexibility

Plants have an inherent flexibility to respond to different environmental conditions. One axis of plant ecophysiological strategy is seen in the spectrum of leaf functional traits. Flexibility in these traits would be suggestive of plants’ phenotypic plasticity in response to environmental changes. This research seeks to identify differences between leaves of sprout and non-sprout shoots of a broad ecological range of neotropical tree species. Using a functional-trait approach, this study assesses a large pool of species for within-species physiological flexibility. Leaf mass per area (LMA) and leaf area were measured for plants of sprout and non-sprout origin for 26 tree species grown in a reforestation plantation in Panama. Sprouts had a consistently lower LMA than non-sprouts, but there was no consistent pattern for leaf area. These trends show that sprouts are more like pioneer species than conspecific saplings, a finding in general agreement with fast sprout growth seen in previous studies. Further, later-successional (high LMA) species showed a greater reduction of LMA in sprouts. These results show that tropical tree species adjust physiologically to changing ecological roles and suggest that certain species may be more resilient than realized to changing climate and disturbance patterns.
