Turkish red pine (TRP) is considered a fast-growing native pine in Turkey.
Latitude significantly affected the diameter, height, and total biomass growth of this pine species: the total biomass growth of the southern and the intermediate latitude seedlings averaged more than 2-fold than that of the northern seedlings.
The results of the present study matched with those of the previous studies in that testing TRP seed sources for the better growth in larger and long-term provenance trials is critical.

 The Anzac Walk - Lone Pine
If you had been in the Turkish trenches on the afternoon of 6 August 1915 at 5.25 pm you would have had the sun in your eyes and you would have been enduring a fierce artillery barrage from Royal Navy warships offshore and from batteries in the Anzac area.
Lone Pine was a battle of bombs, bullets and bayonets fought to defend sandbag walls built by both sides to block up a trench at the forward most point of the advance or counter attack.
The whole action had been mounted as a diversion to keep Turkish attention and reserves focused on Lone Pine while the main battle to the north – to capture Chunuk Bair – was being waged by New Zealand, British, Indian and Gurkha forces.

 Archaeologists rewrite timeline of Bronze, Iron ages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Their latest research involved carbon-14 analysis on 10-year slices -- that is, rings covering 10 years of growth -- on wood from pine trees from the Catacik Forest in Turkey and from oak trees in Germany.
And while the scientists discovered that this was true in general, they were surprised to find that for certain key periods, the Turkish pine appeared to be older than the German oak by as much as 17 years.
Thus German oak, which grows late in the spring and summer, absorbs less carbon dioxide-14 than Turkish pine or juniper, which grows from the early spring to summer.

 FEBS Abstract
In this study, the role of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) were examined in Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia Ten) under cold stress conditions.
Turkish red pine GST activity towards 1-chloro-2,4 dinitrobenzene (CDNB) and ethacrynic acid (EA) were found as 200 ± 50 nmole/min/mg (mean ± SE, n = 18) cytosolic protein, and 43 ± 9 nmole/min/mg (mean ± SE, n = 6) cytosolic protein, respectively.
In order to examine the effects of cold stress on Turkish red pine GST activity, the GST activity was determined in 240 seedlings at -3, 0, and +13°C environmental temperatures.
