Prospects for developing durable resistance in populations of forest trees

Richard A. Sniezko et al.

Summary: Long-lived tree species face various threats, such as non-native diseases and pests, throughout their lifetime. Fortunately, some individuals and populations within affected species possess genetic resistance. Applied resistance programs in the U.S. have been conducted over the past 50 years, involving selection and testing of resistant parent trees, as well as reforestation and restoration using the resulting seed. Major gene resistance (MGR) and quantitative resistance (QR) have been observed in these programs, but the durability of resistance remains uncertain. Field plantings suggest that QR may offer the best chance for long-term durability, although time and more plantings are required to determine resistance durability in affected tree species. Changes in climate may also impact the durability of resistance. Nevertheless, genetic resistance will continue to be valuable for managing diseases and pests in tree species, even in the case of virulence to MGR.

Tamm review: Current and recommended management practices for the restoration of whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis Engelm.), an imperiled high-elevation Western North American forest tree

Diana F. Tomback et al.

Summary: Whitebark pine, an ecologically important tree species in the western U.S. and Canada, is facing threats from invasive pathogens, mountain pine beetles, altered fire regimes, and climate change. Researchers and managers have been developing restoration and conservation measures to mitigate these threats. The key actions for whitebark pine conservation and restoration include protecting genetic diversity, promoting resistance to pathogens, safeguarding seed sources, and implementing restoration treatments.

The National Whitebark Pine Restoration Plan: Restoration model for the high elevation five-needle white pines

Diana F. Tomback et al.

Summary: Whitebark pine, a declining endangered species, faces challenges in devising a restoration plan due to its wide distribution, limited funding, and lack of field personnel. The National Whitebark Pine Restoration Plan (NWPRP) is a collaborative effort among multiple agencies to restore whitebark pine across its U.S. range. The plan includes prioritized areas, proposed treatments and conservation actions, estimated costs, and a monitoring plan.

Whitebark pine genecology field trials in British Columbia: Age 5 results

Charlie Cartwright et al.

Summary: The endangered status of whitebark pine in Canada necessitates the restoration efforts by the Province of British Columbia. The development of well-adapted parent trees with genetic resistance to white pine blister rust is crucial for the successful regeneration of whitebark pine in BC. Common garden tests have been conducted to select parental genotypes for future seedlots, and the results show the genetic effects for rust resistance and height growth. The correlation between population climate and field performance is significant, especially in harsh test sites. Long-term objectives include identifying rust resistance parent trees, establishing climate-based seed transfer guidelines, and assessing variation in rust hazard and trait durability.

Genetic resistance to white pine blister rust, restoration options, and potential use of biotechnology

Richard A. Sniezko et al.

Summary: Research shows that nine five-needle white pine species native to the U.S. and Canada are highly susceptible to white pine blister rust, but genetic resistance has been documented in eight of the species. Developing populations of trees with durable genetic resistance is seen as a fundamental step in restoring white pine species.

Quantitative Disease Resistance to White Pine Blister Rust at Southwestern White Pine's (Pinus strobiformis) Northern Range

Jeremy S. Johnson et al.

Summary: White pine blister rust, caused by the invasive fungal pathogen Cronartium ribicola, is a significant threat to white pines in North America, but genetic resistance and quantitative disease resistance have been observed in southwestern white pine species. Some families of P. strobiformis show high levels of resistance, particularly in terms of reduced severity of infection, fewer stem symptoms, and increased bark reactions, providing valuable information for forest managers involved in restoration efforts.
