The topic of defense mechanisms within family Pinaceae is a very active area of study with numerous studies being conducted. Many of these studies use methyl jasmonate (MJ) as an antagonist. [27] [28] [33] Methyl jasmonate is known to be able to induce defense responses in the stems of multiple Pinaceae species.
A pine is any conifer tree or shrub in the genus Pinus (/ ˈ p aɪ n ə s /) [2] of the family Pinaceae. Pinus is the sole genus in the subfamily Pinoideae.. World Flora Online accepts 134 species-rank taxa (119 species and 15 nothospecies) of pines as current, with additional synonyms, [3] and Plants of the World Online 126 species-rank taxa (113 species and 13 nothospecies), [4] making it ...

Firs are evergreen coniferous trees belonging to the genus Abies (Latin:) in the family Pinaceae. There are approximately 48–65 [3] [4] extant species, found on mountains throughout much of North and Central America, Eurasia, and North Africa. The genus is most closely related to Keteleeria, a small genus confined to eastern Asia. [5]
Christenhusz and colleagues (2011) included only one family in Pinales, Pinaceae, [2] a practice subsequently followed by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website [33] and the Gymnosperm Database. [35] In this restricted model Pinales (Pinaceae) comprisea 11 genera and about 225 species, all of the other conifers originally included in this order ...
Cedrus, with the common English name cedar, is a genus of coniferous trees in the plant family Pinaceae (subfamily Abietoideae). They are native to the mountains of the western Himalayas and the Mediterranean region, occurring at altitudes of 1,500–3,200 m (4,900–10,500 ft) in the Himalayas and 1,000–2,200 m (3,300–7,200 ft) in the Mediterranean.
Pseudotsuga / ˌ sj uː d oʊ ˈ t s uː ɡ ə / [1] is a genus of evergreen coniferous trees in the family Pinaceae (subfamily Laricoideae).Common names for species in the genus include Douglas fir, Douglas-fir, Douglas tree, Oregon pine and Bigcone spruce.
The Laricoideae are a subfamily of the Pinaceae, a Pinophyta division family. They take their name from the genus Larix (), which contains inside most of the species of the group and is one of only two deciduous genera of the pines complex (together with Pseudolarix, which however belongs to a different subfamily, the Abietoideae).
