Developmental Changes in Scots Pine Transcriptome during Heartwood Formation [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2016 Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) wood is desired in woodworking industries due to its favorable timber characteristics and natural durability that is contributed by heartwood extractives. It has been discussed whether the Scots pine heartwood extractives (mainly stilbenes and resin acids) are synthesized in the cells of the transition zone between ...

Forest health, heart rot disease, and their impact on the source of carbon‐based greenhouse gas fluxes [PDF]
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 921-933, April 2026.Summary Forest health is critical for sustaining ecosystem services like carbon sequestration. Heart rot, a widespread disease in upland northern hardwood forests, may affect greenhouse gas (CO2 and CH4) fluxes, but its impacts remain poorly measured. Using non‐destructive tomography and direct gas flux measurements, we quantified the effects of heart ...

A Scots pine 4‐coumarate:CoA ligase with high cinnamic acid affinity is the primary candidate for pinosylvin biosynthesis [PDF]
The Plant Journal, Volume 125, Issue 4, February 2026.SUMMARY Pinosylvin and its derivatives are defense‐related stilbenoids that contribute to pathogen and decay resistance of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) heartwood. While most enzymes in the pinosylvin biosynthesis pathway in Scots pine have been identified, the enzyme responsible for activating cinnamic acid to cinnamoyl‐CoA, an essential precursor ...

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation [PDF]
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2630-2651, March 2026.Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

BOIS & FORETS DES TROPIQUES, 2018 The aim of this study was to establish variations in heartwood (percentage, diameter, radius, volume) in relation to tree height and sapwood thickness. The age at which heartwood formation begins and the maximum heartwood height in Tectona grandis trees were also investigated. Samples were taken from sixteen plantations in different zones of Costa Rica,

Positional differences in the micro- and ultra-structural variations of ray parenchyma cells during the transformation from sapwood to heartwood [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceRay parenchyma cells are involved in the initiation of heartwood formation. The position within a ray influences the timing of ray parenchyma cell differentiation and function; however, there is little information concerning the positional influence on ...
