In vitro Storage Delays the Maturation of African Mahogany (Khaya senegalensis) Clones [PDF]
This study determined whether in vitro storage of Khaya senegalensis clones could delay their maturation and increase their capacity for adventitious rooting. Forestry trees display the desired traits of high adventitious rooting, rapid stem growth and long internodes when they are propagated from juvenile rather than mature explants.

Proximity to forests, fire and plantation characteristics influence understory plant species richness more than phylogenetic diversity in African mahogany plantations [PDF]
Human-modified ecosystems such as plantations, previously considered as green deserts, can serve as stepping-stones or corridors for species to migrate between source and sink populations, thus maintaining metapopulations.

Biomass Production and Nutritional Sustainability in Different Species of African Mahogany
Wood from reforestation gains market value due to its sustainable and legal origin. Planted forests in Brazil play a crucial role in economic, social and environmental aspects, with Eucalyptus and Pinus dominating the timber sector. However, non-majority species, such as those of the Khaya genus, have attracted great commercial interest due to the ...
