To begin to determine the regulation of CPR gene expression and enzyme activity in Douglas-fir a full-length cDNA was isolated from a seedling lambda ZAP cDNA library and the ORF was used to develop a synthetic CPR-peptide-based antiserum. They also germinate well in deep litter, usually beneath an overstory of oak and bigcone fir, but heavy losses from damping-off fungi often take their toll of tiny seedlings in this environment. For Douglas fir it is at least 1700 hours. The relationships of photoperiod, germination temperature, degree of stratification, germination %, provenance and seed weight were analysed with data from Before germination, 400 seeds of each species were steeped in a brassinosteroid solution and then placed for germination in a growth chamber Unique forked cone bracts distinguish this tree from all other conifers.
