Teak is regarded as the ‘King of Timbers’ due to its captivating wood quality and aesthetics. Because of its high durability, it can be used for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor purposes. The presence of oil in the teakwood makes it resistant to insects, fungi and termites and helps to withstand extended exposure to water as well as chemicals.

Formal genetic improvement of teak commenced in the 1930s, including provenance evaluation, plus tree capture and establishment of clonal seed orchards. Family and clone trials have subsequently accelerated the pace of teak genetic improvement, and deployment of superior clones is now common.

Abstract An examination of the tannin from Rhodesian teak ( Baikiaea plurijuga ) heartwood suggests that it is principally an anhydropolyleucofisetinidin. The property of the timber of turning red when exposed to light is associated with this constituent. Hederagenin and pinitol were also isolated as heartwood constituents in addition to the already

Teak is known as one of the world’s premier hardwood tree species. However, despite the commercial interest and the large number of scientific investigations, comprehensive understanding on the genetic, molecular, and biochemical processes of this species has only recently begun to be explored. Functional genomics is the field of molecular biology that

The leaf area index (LAI) is a key factor affecting tree growth in forests. Following the outbreak of a defoliator, the LAI declines, serving as a useful indicator in forest management. In this study, daily radiative transmittance from above the canopy, which decreases exponentially with increasing LAI, was measured in a teak plantation (Tectona ...
