Abstract

Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergii Parl. ) and Japanese red pine (P. densiflora Zieb. et Zucc.) locally named “kuromatsu” and “akamatsu”, respectively, are two important forest tree species widely used for reforestation and landscaping in Japan. In addition, P. thunbergii is also planted along coastal areas to prevent sand movement, erosion, and damage by salt spray, and P. densiflora is also important as host species of the very expensive “matsutake” mushroom, Tricholoma matsutake.
