Vegetative buds of Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii Parry) from the Prince George Forest District (British Columbia) were collected and studied. In mid-April, dormancy ended as determined from mitotic divisions within the leaf primordia; 2 weeks later mitotic activity occurred in the bud apices. Bud-scale initiation began in terminal buds by late May followed by that in axillary buds 2 weeks later. Shoot elongation began in late May, bud burst occurred in late June, and both shoot elongation and bud-scale initiation were complete by late July. Terminal buds began to differentiate by the initiation of leaf primordia, into vegetative buds early in August whereas axillary buds began to differentiate 1 week later. Leaf initiation was completed in all vegetative buds by late September and buds were dormant by mid-October. Pollen cones initiated microsporophylls after bud-scale initiation. Microsporangial initiation began in late August. Microsporangial enlargement began in mid-September and continued until dormancy when pollen mother cells were observed in a premeiotic stage. Seed cones initiated bracts directly after bud-scale initiation. In mid-August, ovuliferous scales began to be initiated. Two ovule primordia formed adaxially, one on each side of the median longitudinal axis of each ovuliferous scale. Each ovule formed one large central megaspore mother cell which overwintered in a premeiotic stage.

Vegetative apices of mature Tsnga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg. were studied throughout the annual growth cycle. Apices become mitotically active during the last week of March. Leaf primordia elongate, causing the buds to swell, while the apex remains small and produces bud scales. Axillary buds are initiated about mid-April. Little shoot elongation occurs before vegetative buds burst in mid-May. After bud burst, rapid shoot elongation occurs for about 7 weeks, during which time the apex also elongates and the rest of the bud scales are initiated. There is a marked increase in mitotic activity in the apex during the transition from bud-scale initiation to leaf initiation, which occurs early in July when the grand phase of shoot elongation is complete. This is believed to be the time when vegetative apices undergo transition to become reproductive apices. Leaf primordia are initiated in rapid succession until mid-August, when two-thirds of the final number of leaves are initiated and the subtending shoot is fully elongated. From mid-August until mid-November, no shoot elongation occurs, leaf primordia are initiated more slowly, and mitotic activity in the apex gradually decreases. After all of the next season's leaves have been initiated, about mid-November, mitotic activity in the apex stops and the vegetative buds become dormant.

The effect of mixtures of air pollutants (SO2, NO2, O3) on phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCase; EC 4.1.1.31) activities from needles of four-year-old Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) in closed fumigation chambers were analyzed. Three months exposure to high concentrations of O3 (1030 µg/m3) together with SO2 (1030 µg/m3) or NO2 (615 µg/m3) resulted in a dramatic increase in PEPCase activities
