Abstract

Chemical composition of turpentines in lodgepole–jack pine hybrids was studied. When the two pines were artificially crossed, the F1 generation possessed turpentine in which the bicyclic terpenes of jack pine, dominated over the simpler, monocyclic terpene—phellandrene—of lodgepole pine. Trees in a natural hybrid swarm also tended towards a predominance of the jack pine bicyclic terpenes.
