Metabolic Engineering of Wood Formation

2013
Wood is one of the most abundant composite materials on earth consisting primarily of cellulose, noncellulosic polysaccharides and lignin. It is a sustainable and quite versatile natural resource that can be processed into many useful products including biofuels, biochemicals, wood pellets, pulp and paper, fibres, biocomposites and timber.

Wood Engineering in Forestry Laboratories

Journal of the Structural Division, 1967
The organization of the Forest Products Laboratories of Canada and the manner in which they function under the Department of Forestry of Canada are briefly described. Although mention is made of other research activities, the paper deals specifically with research in wood engineering.

Genetic Engineering of Wood Formation

2000
Not many years after its discovery, the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was demonstrated to activate cambial growth when applied to sunflower hypocotyls (Snow, 1935). In subsequent studies it was shown that IAA is involved in the control of several aspects of secondary growth, in particular the maintenance of the vascular cambium, the ...

Wood—A Reliable Engineering Material

Journal of the Structural Division, 1967
The reliability of wood as an engineering material depends on sound information and enlightened usage. Efficient structural design must recognize wood's unique structural properties and use them correctly. The way in which results of standard tests on wood arc transformed into safe working stresses for structural design is summarized, and the factor of

Structural Engineering Research in Wood

Journal of the Structural Division, 1968
Four structural engineering studies of wood beams, in progress or recently completed at the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory, are presented. A mathematical theory is presented to explain the size-bending strength relationship for wood beams. The approach considers a volume-strength relationship rather than a depth-strength relationship as has been used
