Bark Characteristics of Scots Pine Logs [PDF]
The wood of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) shows good properties as building and construction timber but also as furniture or pulp and paper, and thus, is one of the most commercially important European tree species. Scots pine are mostly harvested and processed with a high degree of mechanization.

CALEDONIAN SCOTS PINE: ORIGINS AND GENETIC STRUCTURE [PDF]
SUMMARYMonoterpene and isozyme loci, used as markers to study the genetic structure of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) native to Scotland, showed that the endemic populations are not genetically impoverished, in spite of severe contraction in range and numbers as a result of both natural and anthropogenic causes.

Stilbene synthase from Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) [PDF]
Stilbene synthases are named according to their substrate preferences. By this definition, enzymes preferring cinnamoyl‐CoA are pinosylvin synthases, and proteins with a preference for phenylpropionyl‐CoA are dihydropinosylvin synthases. We investigated the assignment of a stilbene synthase cloned from Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) as dihydropinosylvin

Performance of pine sawflies under elevated tropospheric ozone.
Concentration of the phytotoxic air pollutant, ozone (O) is continually increasing in the lower layer of the troposphere. The purpose of this study was to compare performance of pine sawflies on Scots pine ( L.) seedlings in ambient and future levels of ...

Annual cycle in scots pine's photosynthesis [PDF]
Abstract. Photosynthesis, i.e. the assimilation of atmospheric carbon to organic molecules with the help of solar energy, is a fundamental and well understood process. Here, we connect theoretically the fundamental concepts affecting C3 photosynthesis with the main environmental drivers (ambient temperature and solar light intensity), using six axioms ...

Cone and seed maturity of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) were evaluated for three seed years and several plantations in prairie Canada. Both specific gravity and moisture content provided reliable measures of cone maturity and were directly related to viability of the seed produced.

Uptake of NOx in Scots pine. [PDF]
Information on input of acidifying compounds like SO and NO is necessary to understand effects of acidification. The uptake on NO and NO2 respectively was studied on seedlings and shoots of Scots pine ( L.). Experiments were conducted both in laboratory (NO and NO respectively) and in the field (NO) under light and dark conditions.

Effects of phenotypic selection on height-diameter ratio of Norway spruce and Scots pine in Sweden
Genetically improved Norway spruce ( (L.) Karst.) and Scots pine ( L.) are extensively used in operational Swedish forestry plantations. However, relatively little is known about the stem slenderness (height-diameter ratio) of genetically improved ...
