Variations in carbon content in wood among 102 clones, selected from almost the entire natural distribution area, were investigated
in Larix kaempferi. The average carbon content was 50.50%, 50.94%, and 50.80% in sapwood, heartwood, and whole wood, respectively. The difference
in carbon content between clones was significant. The clonal repeatabilities were 0.46, 0.38, and 0.44 in heartwood, sapwood
and whole wood, respectively. The coefficients of variation in the clonal mean carbon content were only 0.43%, 0.42%, and
0.41% in heartwood, sapwood, and whole wood, respectively. This small genetic variation and resulting small relative genetic
gain of carbon content indicate that the genetic improvement of carbon content by selection has a small effect on the genetic
improvement of carbon sequestration capacity by selection in L. kaempferi. 相似文献

Robinia pseudoacacia L. heartwood is characterized by a very high natural durability. However, a significant difference was observed between the mature and juvenile heartwood, the latter presenting less durability against fungi decay, which could be attributed to lower extractive content. In order to elucidate this idea, extractives from mature and juvenile heartwoods of black locust trees were investigated. Results showed that extractive and phenolic contents were higher in mature than in juvenile heartwoods. The identification of phenolic compounds by UPLC–DAD–MS/MS revealed, for the first time, the presence of resveratrol and piceatannol. These two stilbenes as well as the flavonoid dihydrorobinetin were present at the highest level in mature heartwood, and as they are known antifungals, they could account for the great durability of mature heartwood. The stilbenes were detected in significant amounts particularly in mature heartwood where piceatannol reached a level tenfold higher than that reported for Japanese knotweed roots, the primary natural source of these stilbenes, whereas resveratrol level was comparable with reported values. As resveratrol and piceatannol receive increasing demand for nutraceutical, cosmetic and, possibly, pharmaceutical purposes, due to their beneficial health effects, this study underlines the use of R. pseudoacacia as a promising sustainable and economical source of resveratrol and piceatannol. 相似文献

Heartwood extractives (nonstructural wood components) are believed to be formed from a combination of compounds present in the adjacent sapwood and materials imported from the phloem. The roles of local compounds and imported material in heartwood formation could have important implications for the wood quality of species having naturally durable wood. Stable isotope composition (delta(13)C) was analyzed to assess radial variation in sapwood extractives, and to estimate the relative importance of adjacent sapwood extractives and imported photosynthate in the formation of heartwood extractives. Cellulose and extractives from the outer 39 annual rings of six Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) trees were isolated and their delta(13)C composition determined. Although the extractives and the cellulose showed different absolute delta(13)C values, the patterns of change over time (as represented by the annual rings) were similar in most cases. Within an annual ring, carbon isotope ratios of extractives were correlated with the cellulose isotope ratio (R2 = 0.33 in sapwood, R2 = 0.34 in heartwood for aqueous acetone-soluble extractives; R2 = 0.41 in sapwood for hot-water-soluble extractives). These data suggest that some sapwood extractives are formed when the wood ring forms, and remain in place until they are converted to heartwood extractives many years later. Sapwood extractives appear to be important sources of materials for the biosynthesis of heartwood extractives in Douglas-fir. 相似文献

This work presents the results of a study on the variation of the chemical composition of Pyrenean oak (Quercus pyrenaica Willd.) heartwood among different sites and its relationship with the soil chemical characteristics. The chemical characteristics of the heartwood are quantified in terms of proximate and ultimate analysis, calorific value and ash composition. Subsequently, the relationship between the wood chemical characteristics and the soil characteristics was also examined. The results showed no significant differences between the wood chemical characteristics from different sites. There are, however, significant differences between trees from the same site regarding the wood ash content, the calorific value and the contents of nitrogen and hydrogen. Strong correlations were observed between the heartwood ash contents of BaO, MnO, CuO and TiO2 and the soil nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium and the soil exchangeable base contents. 相似文献

Dry zones in conifer wood, characterised by gas filled tracheids, were induced by the injection of dilute solutions of various toxic chemicals followed by incubation at 10 or 20°C. The development of dry zones did not occur at lower temperatures nor with concentrated solutions and was prevented or retarded in an atmosphere of nitrogen. These results are discussed in relation to the development of dry zones in infections by Fomes annosus and other fungi and in the formation of heartwood. It is postulated that the gradual death of ray cells alters their metabolism in such a way that gas emboli are evolved in adjacent tracheids; this can occur at sites of infection or at a distance under the influence of transportable or diffusible toxins. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to characterise the properties of juvenile and mature heartwood of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.). Content, composition and the subcellular distribution of heartwood extractives were studied in 14 old-growth trees from
forest sites in Germany and Hungary as well as in 16 younger trees of four clone types. Heartwood extractives (methanol and
acetone extraction) were analysed by HPLC-chromatography. UV microspectrophotometry was used to topochemically localise the
extractives in the cell walls. The natural durability of the juvenile and mature heartwood was analysed according to the European
standard EN 350-1. Growth as well as chemical analyses showed that, based on extractives content, the formation of juvenile
wood in black locust is restricted to the first 10–20 years of cambial growth. In mature heartwood, high contents of phenolic
compounds and flavonoids were present, localised in high concentrations in the cell walls and cell lumen of axial parenchyma
and vessels. In juvenile wood, the content of these extractives is significantly lower. Juvenile wood had a correspondingly
lower resistance to decay by Coniophora puteana (brown rot fungus) and Coriolus versicolor (white rot fungus) than mature heartwood. 相似文献

Element content and pH value in wood tissues of veneer grade logs of P. serotina Ehrh. were investigated with regard to wood colour variations, measured in the CIEL*a*b* system. The average pH value of
heartwood tissue was about pH 4.0 and medium colour parameters of veneer sheets were determined at L* = 73, a* = 9.8, and b* = 23.5. Optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) analyses showed differences in the element contents between two regional
forest sites coming from Pennsylvania and West Virginia, USA, respectively. The latter is mainly characterised by higher variations
of micro-element content in the transition zone (influencing heartwood formation) and also pH value of wood tissue, which
contributes to higher variations in colour response of industrially produced veneer sheets. Investigations under industrial
conditions underline the correlation between length and intensity of heat treatment in veneer production and colour development:
with increasing duration and temperature of hot water treatment, veneer surfaces become darker and wood colour is intensified
(ΔL = 3.6, Δa = 2.1, comparing 12 and 72 h of hot water treatment at 60°C). However, no equalisation of wood colour was achieved by modifying
the treatment conditions. Artificial radiation by UV–visible light, quickly and extensively darkens and intensifies wood colour
(ΔL = 16, Δa = 3.5, and Δb = 4.0 after 15 h of artificial radiation), but variations in wood colour deriving from different treatment conditions during
veneer production, were not reduced. 相似文献

At present, a carbon (C) content of 50% (w/w) in dry wood is widely accepted as a generic value; however, few wood C measurements have been reported. We used elemental analysis to investigate C content per unit of dry matter and observed that it varied both radially and vertically in boles of two old-growth tree species: sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) and giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum (Lindl.) Bucholz). In sugar maple there was considerable variation in tree ring widths among four radii for particular annual layers of xylem, revealing that the annual rate of C assimilation differs around the circumference and from the base of each tree to its top, but the observed variation in C content was unrelated to diameter growth rate and strongly related to the calendar year when the wood was formed. Carbon content in sugar maple wood increased in an approximately linear fashion, from < 50 to 51% from pith to cambium, at both the base and top of the boles. In giant sequoia, C was essentially constant at > 55% across many hundreds of years of heartwood, but it declined abruptly at the sapwood-heartwood boundary and remained lower in all sapwood samples, an indication that heartwood formation involves anabolic metabolism. Factors that may be responsible for the different C contents and trends with age between sugar maple and sequoia trees are considered. Tree-ring data from this study do not support some of the key assumptions made by dendrochronology. 相似文献

Heartwood is a determining factor of wood quality and understanding the biology of heartwood may allow us to control its formation. Heartwood formation is a form of senescence that is accompanied by a variety of metabolic alterations in ray parenchyma cells at the sapwood-heartwood transition zone. Although senescence has been studied at the molecular level with respect to primary growth, the cell maturation and death events occurring during heartwood formation have been difficult to study because of their location and timing. Analysis of global gene expression patterns during the transition from sapwood to heartwood may offer a powerful means of identifying the mechanisms controlling heartwood formation. Previously, we developed cDNA microarrays carrying 2567 unigenes derived from the bark/cambium region, sapwood and transition zone of a mature black locust tree. Here, we describe the use of these microarrays to characterize seasonal changes in the expression patterns of 1873 genes from the transition zone of mature black locust trees. When samples collected in summer and fall were compared, 569 genes showed differential expression patterns: 293 genes were up-regulated (> twofold) in summer (July 5) and 276 genes were up-regulated in fall (November 27). More than 50% of the secondary and hormone metabolism-related genes on the microarrays were up-regulated in summer. Twenty-nine out of 55 genes involved in signal transduction were differentially regulated, suggesting that the ray parenchyma cells located in the innermost part of the trunk wood react to seasonal changes. We established the expression patterns of 349 novel genes (previously unknown or no-hit), of which 154 were up-regulated in summer and 195 were up-regulated in the fall. 相似文献

Colour and chemical changes on photodegraded beech wood with or without red heartwood 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The focus of this study was to investigate the chemical and colour changes occurring at different exposure times on artificially photo-irradiated surfaces of normal and red heartwood in beech in order to understand the mechanisms that cause the changes and to evaluate the possibility of usages of beech not only for energy production purposes. In this sense, surface colour modifications are of crucial importance to define the commercial value of beech wood. The artificial photo-irradiation of the wood samples was performed in a Solar Box, equipped with an ultraviolet filter that cuts off the spectrum at 280 nm. Reflectance spectrophotometry and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to assess artificial sunlight influence. The experimental data were statistically treated to evaluate their significance. Colour monitoring revealed that wood surface colour undergoes an important variation due to photo-irradiation, occurring within the first 24–48 h. Moreover, it was found that the chromatic coordinates (L*a*b*) in normal wood and in red heartwood tended to similar values after 504 h. FTIR spectroscopy allowed for investigating the rate of photodegradation of wood surface due to oxidation reactions of wood components. The results were validated by statistical analysis applied both to the colorimetric and spectroscopic data. 相似文献

The formation of reaction and barrier zones was studied in the xylem of Eucalyptus globulus and Eucalyptus nitens tree stems after wounding and artificial inoculation with two white rot fungi. The study had two objectives: to describe host responses in Eucalyptus spp. by light microscopy and to determine whether they would differ in a fungal treatment (wounding and inoculation by one of two fungal isolates) when compared to a control treatment (wounding only). Eucalyptus globulus and E. nitens developed similar reaction and barrier zones. The E. globulus barrier zone was characterized by kino vein formation. In both hosts, the reaction zone was primarily influenced by content and distribution of living tracheids and parenchyma cells within the sapwood. By contrast, the anatomy of the barrier zone showed similarities to the basic xylem structure of each host, except for some cell types that were newly formed (sclereids, kino veins) or increased in number (parenchyma cells, tracheids). Other cell types were reduced in number or completely absent. Host response in terms of barrier zone width appeared to be greater in the fungal than control treatment. Both wood decay fungi appeared to induce a wider barrier zone in both species than that associated with non‐specific damage caused exclusively by wounding. However, the small number of replicates available for this study was possibly insufficient to provide statistical evidence for different barrier zone width between fungal and control treatments. 相似文献

Batch measurements of wood density on intact or prepared drill cores using x-ray microdensitometry 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The performance of a batch scanning x-ray densitometer for measuring wood density without sample preparation, i.e., on intact
drill cores, or on rectangular samples prepared from drill cores, was analysed. Effects of x-ray intensity, sample thickness
and fiber direction, as well as extractives content, were evaluated for young (mainly sapwood) and old (mainly heartwood)
wood from Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.). The x-ray power level used as standard (1.4 kW; 40 kV and 35 mA) seemed appropriate for the tested species
and specimen thickness. The density of intact drill cores could be determined with a mean standard deviation of 1.6% for each
sample, with a single machine run, if the cores were mounted with a fixed fiber direction and calibrations were made for each
wood type. The corresponding precision for rectangular samples was 1.0%. Further improvements are attainable by using standard
reference samples in each machine run and batch-wise analysis. For the chosen wood types and measurement technique, a sample
thickness of 5 mm should give the best precision. However, for species with very narrow rings, thinner samples would improve
the spatial resolution when ring boundaries are angled or curved. Extractives should be removed, especially for pine, but
possibly also for spruce, if high precision in density determination is required.

Summary Mechanical injury to the sapwood of Quercus alba, Robinia pseudoacacia, and Maclura pomifera resulted in the formation of discolored tissue which was more resistant to decay fungi than the adjacent uninjured sapwood but usually less resistant than the heartwood. Considerable tree-to-tree variation in response to injury, as measured by subsequent variations in decay resistance, was noted. The exact cause for this induced decay resistance is unknown, but it appears to be due to fungistatic substances produced in situ by the dying parenchymous cells in the xylem.This work was supported by Grants GB-5313 and GB-7550 from National Science Foundation.

A mechanism of acetaldehyde emission from wood induced by the addition of ethanol was proposed. It is known that acetaldehyde
generation is due to the oxidation of ethanol via a metabolic process involving alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in living bodies.
However, it remains unclear whether the enzymatic alcohol oxidation is applicable to wood. We investigated possible factors
of wood parts, conditioning, storage sites, and heating and sterilization treatments on acetaldehyde emission using the syringe
method and HPLC analysis. We reconfirmed that acetaldehyde emission was observed only when ethanol was added to wood. Greater
acetaldehyde emissions were obtained in heartwood compared to sapwood in both Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) and Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa Endl.) specimens. In addition, an acetaldehyde conversion rate of 1–2 mol% was determined in green cedar heartwood samples,
while, conversely, air-dried cedar heartwood samples showed 4–5 mol%. Ethylene oxide gas sterilization had the effect of decreasing
acetaldehyde emission on air-dried wood, but not on green wood. Autoclave sterilization could completely prevent acetaldehyde
emissions from both green and air-dried wood. These results suggested that an original ADH in wood and an attached ADH from
the outside via microorganisms onto wood were assumed to be the primary causes of acetaldehyde emissions from wood induced
by the addition of ethanol. 相似文献

Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) is an important timber and pulpwood species covering about 4 million ha in Portugal, Spain and France. This work studied the cross-sectional distribution of heartwood and sapwood along the stem using 3D modelling on 20 trees. The target was to assess the potential of this species for the industrial production of heartwood sawn products. The maritime pine stems were characterized by wide sapwood of 10 cm, in average, and the presence of heartwood at all height levels with constant diameter up to 35 % tree height, decreasing afterwards. In the radial section, the heartwood follows a circumferential-like shape which changes along the stem. Pith eccentricity index values were low and homogeneous regarding to stem and higher for heartwood. Heartwood cross-sectional shape was constant up to 45 % of total height of the tree and more elongated upwards. The constant heartwood diameter, low taper and pith eccentricity index, and an approximate circular shape up to 10 m height indicated these species’ potential to produce solid wood products made out of heartwood. 相似文献
