ALEPPO PINE [PINUS HALEPENSIS MILLER) The three phosphatases purified from roots of Finns halepensis showed very low specificity and low activity against phosphorylated sugars (fructose 6-phosphate, glucose 1-phosphate, glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 1,6-diphosphate). The phenyl-phtaleine phosphates are readily hydrolysed by the phosphatase la, but much less by the phosphatases 3a and 3b. Phosphorus deficiency enhanced the utilization of tripolyphosphate and pyrophosphate, mainly by the phosphatases la and 3a from phosphorus-deficient roots. The phosphatase la hydrolysed phos-phoserine, phosphoethanolamine, phospho-...

One-year-old plants of slash pine had increased oleoresin production after flooding [63], Site fertilization increased constitutive flow of resin in 6-year-old loblolly pine [72], but reduced it in 11-year-old plants [22], Rates of monoterpenes emission increased exponentially with temperature in slash pine [70] and P. halepensis [66], However, variable emissirm responses were observed in Aleppo pine plants after exposure to different irradiance levels and limited water availability [66], Light and water stresses reduced the constitutive level of monoterpene cyclase activity in Grand fir saplings [62], Highest production of oleoresin in slash pine was observed in spring [54, 73] when compared to other seasons examined. 

Greek turpentine oil is a commercial article in the South of Europe and is obtained from the Aleppo pine Pinus hcdepensis). It is produced in nearly all the provinces of Greece. It is usual either to make deep incisions in the trunks through which the resin quickly flows away, or in the French manner to cut rather shallow notches and place a wooden receptacle below these, in which the oleo-resin is collect. Pinus haie-pensis is the only tree in Greece which is used for the production of turpentine. 

Certain phenolic compounds, such as caffeic acid and P-coumaric acid, can determine the decomposition of Aleppo pine needles in secondary successions, with a slowdown in the colonization needles by decomposers in young pines, in comparison to older pines (Figure 5.6) due to longer residence time for phenolic compounds in pine needle litter. 

The production of tar, pitch, and oil in Greece from the Aleppo pine also predates biblical times. The Greeks named the crude exudate colophony for its geographical source, Colophon, in Asia Minor. In the literature on terpenoid colophony is a synonym for rosin.
