Bark thickness and fire regime (2015, background): “For instance, resins are a key mechanism in conifers to protect from insect and fungus attacks (Berryman 1972; Phillips & Croteau 1999; Franceschi et al. 2005), and latex, gums and the plethora of chemical compounds in the bark have a similar function in other plant groups (Agrawal & Konno 2009; Rom”
Plant Volatiles: Recent Advances and Future Perspectives (2006, background): “Terpenoid volatiles in conifers are produced in specialized anatomical structures, resin cells or ducts, that are located within other tissues of stem and needles (Franceschi et al., 2005; Keeling and Bohlmann; 2006) from which they can be released upon disruption by mechanical wounding or herbivory”
Effects of fire and mechanical wounding on Pinus resinosa resin defenses, beetle attacks, and pathogens (2006, positive): “An important primary defense of pine trees against insects and many pathogens is oleoresin, a mixture of monoterpenes and resin acids that flows from physical wounds and provides a chemical and physical barrier against biotic intrusions (Reeve et al., 1995; Franceschi et al., 2005; Hofstetter et al.”
The role of forest genetic resources in responding to biotic and abiotic factors in the context of anthropogenic climate change (2014, background): “…induced defence systems, both mechanical defences (e.g., resin canals, sclereid cells and thorns) as well as chemical defences (e.g., the production of toxic phenols and terpenoids), have evolved in response to herbivory (Alfaro et al., 2002; Cooper and Owen-Smith, 1986; Franceschi et al., 2005).”
Chemical characterization of barks from Picea abies and Pinus sylvestris after fractioning into different particle sizes (2012, methodology): “5% by Geng et al. (2006) for black spruce.”
Perpetuating old ponderosa pine (2007, background): “After a successful initial attack, tree resistance to bark beetles depends in part on the attack density and the extent that current photosynthate can be quickly shifted to walling off blue-stain fungi introduced by the beetles (Christiansen et al., 1987; Franceschi et al., 2005).”
Management Strategies for Bark Beetles in Conifer Forests (2015, background): “…release aggregation pheromones that enhance attraction of conspecifics to the target tree (Borden, 1985; Byers, 1995; Zhang and Schlyter, 2004) as successful colonization requires overcoming host tree defenses (Wood, 1972; Hodges et al., 1979, 1985; Raffa et al., 1993; Franceschi et al., 2005).”
Climate change and range expansion of an aggressive bark beetle: evidence of higher beetle reproduction in naïve host tree populations (2010, background): “The terpenoid defences employed by species of Pinaceae are evolutionarily very old, and likely to have arisen as a consequence of interactions with numerous organisms, including bark beetles (Franceschi et al. 2005).”
