“…API and CAM show strong antifeedant and oviposition deterrence effect on Dendrolimus spp (Yan et al, 2007). The negative genetic correlations among such components appear to present a constraint on the defense against different insects (Latta et al, 2003). Thus, different components, BPI or CAM, can be selected in accordance to different practical requirements in conventional breeding.…”

“…Furthermore, these components are most likely also influenced by genetic and environmental factors (Latta et al, 2003). The genetic variation and correlations between the major components of slash pine oleoresin help determine the selection of genetic resources of superior, high quality resin and emerges as the fundamental basis for the selective breeding of the principal components.…”

ABSTRACT. This is the first comprehensive study of the genetic analysis of the majority of oleoresin components of slash pine (Pinus elliottii). Pine oleoresin, the resin secreted from the pine tree, is a raw material widely used in industrial products. The objective of this study was to explore the genetic variation and correlation between the major oleoresin components of 50 open pollinated families of slash pine. The individual narrow-sense heritability of the 23 oleoresin components and genetic correlations between them were estimated using the residual maximum likelihood in the flexible mixed modeling program, ASReml-R. A high heritability of 0.424 was observed for β-pinene. Moderate levels of heritability were estimated for β-phellandrene, methyl abietate, estragole, 15-hydroxy-dehydroabietic acid, and isopimaric acid methyl ester at 0.303, 0.294, 0.27, 0.258, and 0.2, respectively. The heritabilities for pimaric acid methyl ester, abieta-8, 13-diene-18-oic acid methyl ester, sandaracopimaric acid, methyl ester, and camphene were relatively low and ranged from 0.11 to 0.17. Many negative genetic correlations were observed as unfavorable while the corresponding phenotypic correlations presented no significant relationships or positive phenotypic correlations. However, the heritabilities and genetic correlations showed that single or multiple component selections and improvement, directly or indirectly, were effective. We postulate that genetic parameters estimated in this study will work as a reference in breeding programs of oleoresin components, especially in slash pine.

“…Hiltunen, 1975; Gref and Lindgren, 1984). Chemotypic diversity and bimodal distributions of monoterpenes are seen in oleoresin extracts of many coniferous species, for example Slash pine (β-pinene and myrcene, Gansel and Squillace, 1976), Norway spruce ( 3 -carene and pinenes, Esteban et al, 1976;Orav et al, 1996), Douglas fir ( 3 -carene and pinenes, Latta et al, 2003) and Common juniper (Common juniper (α-pinene and sabinene, Filipowicz et al, 2009). It has been recognized that the rates of terpenoid emissions from vegetation change significantly with time, and it can be asked if the chemotypic variation also changes with seasons.…”

“…However, it is not known, whether the diversity in emission spectrum is also reflected in the total emitted quantities of monoterpenes. According to Latta et al (2003), the chemodiversity may not influence the total monoterpene quantity in needles, since the regulation of biosynthesis seems to operate at the level of allocation of a limited total pool of monoterpenes among fractions, rather than at the absolute concentrations of individual monoterpenes. In Scots pine the chemodiversity in oleoresin is particularly well documented.…”

Chemodiversity of a Scots pine stand and implications for terpene air concentrations

Abstract. Atmospheric chemistry in background areas is strongly influenced by natural vegetation. Coniferous forests are known to produce large quantities of volatile vapors, especially terpenes. These compounds are reactive in the atmosphere, and contribute to the formation and growth of atmospheric new particles.Our aim was to analyze the variability of mono-and sesquiterpene emissions between Scots pine trees, in order to clarify the potential errors caused by using emission data obtained from only a few trees in atmospheric chemistry models. We also aimed at testing if stand history and seed origin has an influence on the chemotypic diversity. The inherited, chemotypic variability in mono-and sesquiterpene emission was studied in a seemingly homogeneous 48 yr-old stand in Southern Finland, where two areas differing in their stand regeneration history could be distinguished. Sampling was conducted in August 2009. Terpene concentrations in the air had been measured at the same site for seven years prior to branch sampling for chemotypes.Two main compounds, α-pinene and 3 -carene formed together 40-97 % of the monoterpene proportions in both the branch emissions and in the air concentrations. The data showed a bimodal distribution in emission composition, in particular in 3 -carene emission within the studied population. 10 % of the trees emitted mainly α-pinene and no 3 -carene at all, whereas 20 % of the trees where characterized as high 3 -carene emitters ( 3 -carene forming >80 % of total emitted monoterpene spectrum). An intermediate group of trees emitted equal amounts of both α-pinene and 3 -carene. The emission pattern of trees at the area established using seeding as the artificial regeneration method differed from the naturally regenerated or planted trees, being mainly high 3 -carene emitters. Some differences were also seen in e.g. camphene and limonene emissions between chemotypes, but sesquiterpene emissions did not differ significantly between trees. The atmospheric concentrations at the site were found to reflect the species and/or chemodiversity rather than the emissions measured from any single tree, and were strongly dominated by α-pinene. We also tested the effect of chemodiversity on modeled monoterpene concentrations at the site and found out that since it significantly influences the distributions and hence the chemical reactions in the atmosphere, it should be taken into account in atmospheric modeling.

Terpenes are involved in mediating a number of important ecological interactions, such as directly in pollinator attraction, alleopathic and antifungal agents which allowing plants to cope with abiotic stressors, as well as indirect defense against herbivores, and quantitative variation in terpene concentration has been shown to have important role, in many of these interactions (Emerick et al 2008;Hall et al 2011;King et al 2004;Latta et al 2003;Rocchini et al 2000;Zou and Cates 1997).…”

The family Myrtaceae is known for its high foliar terpene concentrations as well as significant qualitative and quantitative variation in foliar terpenes between taxa, populations and individuals. To date, few studies have investigated the genetic and biochemical processes, which underlie this variation, much of which is known to be under genetic control. Differences in yield are both ecologically and commercially important and a better understanding of its basis will allow a greater understanding of Australian ecosystems as well as improve commercial viability of essential oil industries. Over the past decade a good understanding of the genes involved in terpene biosynthesis has developed in other species and several important regulatory steps have been identified. Much of this work has been done in transgenic plants, so our understanding at a molecular level is strong. Nonetheless, it remains unclear if these processes are transferrable to wild populations, or indeed how ecologically important quantitative variation in terpenoids arise and are maintained in natural ecosystems. In this review we will summarize what is known about terpene biosynthesis and the control of flux through the terpene biosynthetic pathways. We will then argue that this platform of work provides a great resource for Myrtaceae, as well as other plants, to identify candidate genes that control flux through the biosynthetic pathways and how this will inform further studies into the ecological implications of quantitative variation of terpenes. Work into terpene biosynthesis would also provide a framework to improve the profitability of essential oil crops.
