Cambial Age Influences PCD Gene Expression during Xylem Development and Heartwood Formation [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Heartwood formation is an important ontogenetic stage in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). The amount of heartwood determines the proportion of functionally active sapwood in the total trunk biomass as well as the quality of wood.

Effects of pruning on heartwood formation in Scots pine trees [PDF]
Journal of Forest Science, 2004 The object of this study was to investigate the effect of pruning on heartwood formation in mature Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trees. Fifty trees were treated by three different intensive pruning regimes: 42, 60 and 70 percentage of defoliation ...

Advances in the Study of Heartwood Formation in Trees [PDF]
LifeHeartwood, serving as the central constituent of the xylem, plays a crucial role in the growth, development, and resilience of trees. The process of heartwood formation constitutes a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various factors. A thorough

Changes in the physiological activity of parenchyma cells in Dalbergia odorifera xylem and its relationship with heartwood formation [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background The formation of a tree’s heartwood gives the wood properties such as natural decay resistance and aesthetic color, and often directly determines the value of wood products.

Value of complete information on red heartwood formation in beech (Fagus sylvatica) [PDF]
Silva Fennica, 2002 Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is the most important deciduous tree species in Germany. The wood of beech shows normally a bright colour (white beech) as long as no coloured heartwood has been formed.

Can bark stripping cause red heartwood formation in beech stems? [PDF]
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2018 Injuries to standing trees caused by logging and the subsequent changes in biochemical composition and anatomy of affected tissues lead to wood quality loss, thus lowering the commercial value of roundwood. In this study, we investigated the influence of

Elicitors Modulate Young Sandalwood (Santalum album L.) Growth, Heartwood Formation, and Concrete Oil Synthesis [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Five chemical elicitors––6-benzyladenine (BA), ethephon (ETH), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and calcium chloride (CaCl2)––were used to treat 1- and 5-year-old sandal trees (Santalum album L.) to assess their effects on growth ...

Heritability of Heartwood Formation in Pinus radiata D. Don [PDF]
Nature, 1965 AN important change which occurs in the wood of most trees as they grow older is the transformation of sapwood into heartwood. This change is associated with the death of the ray and vertical parenchyma cells, and definite modifications to the anatomy of both softwoods and hardwoods1.
