bioRxivHeartwood traits in trees are critical for timber quality but are notoriously difficult to phenotype due to their late expression and the need for destructive sampling. In this proof-of-concept study, we demonstrate that combining genome-wide association

Pine heartwood formation as a maturation phenomenon
Journal of Wood Science, 2002 The inverse of the relative increment rate of size is proposed as a measure of the maturity of a forest tree. The heartwood content within bole cross sections is modeled semiempirically using asymptotic fitting. It is shown that the present proposal for a definition of maturity statistically explains heartwood content far better than age or size.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract Background Oak barrels are widely used in wine and spirit aging, where oxygen transmission plays a key role in the development of chemical and sensory properties. In cooperage, stave selection is traditionally based on grain width; however, the extent to which grain and wood macrostructure determine oxygen transmission under barrel conditions ...

Roles of JnRAP2.6-like from the transition zone of black walnut in hormone signaling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 An EST sequence, designated JnRAP2-like, was isolated from tissue at the heartwood/sapwood transition zone (TZ) in black walnut (Juglans nigra L). The deduced amino acid sequence of JnRAP2-like protein consists of a single AP2-containing domain with ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.As forests are important for biodiversity and recreation and provide vital resources globally, it is essential that their health can be accurately monitored, for example, by using sap flow probes to measure tree water uptake. We investigated whether sap flow measurements might differ at various locations within the same tree due to variation in wood ...

Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.Near‐infrared spectroscopy enables rapid, non‐destructive quality assessment across diverse sample matrices. Combined with conventional chemometrics and AI/ML models, it provides accurate prediction of key quality attributes, supporting routine quality control, process optimisation, and real‐time industrial decision‐making.

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Insect outbreaks significantly impact tree mortality and carbon‐nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems, yet most terrestrial biosphere models do not represent insect disturbances due to the complexity of nutrient processes and limited data. To address this gap, we implemented a new insect impacts module in the QUINCY (Quantifying Interactions ...
