Rapid prediction of wood stiffness from microfibril angle and density.
Robert Evans,Jugo Ilic +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for predicting the longitudinal modulus of elasticity (EL) from measurements of density and microfibril angle (MFA) was described and very strong linear relationships have been found between E L, measured by a sonic resonance technique, and various combinations of wood density and MFA for 104 clearwood samples of Eucalyptus delegatensis R.T. Baker.

Fasciclin-like arabinogalactan proteins: specialization for stem biomechanics and cell wall architecture in Arabidopsis and Eucalyptus
Colleen P. MacMillan,Shawn D. Mansfield,Zbigniew Stachurski,Robert Evans,Simon G. Southerton +4 more
TL;DR: A conserved subset of single FAS domain FLAs in Eucalyptus and Arabidopsis that have specific and high transcript abundance in stems are identified, particularly in stem cells undergoing secondary-wall deposition, and the phylogenetic conservation appears to extend to other dicots and monocots.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymorphisms in Cinnamoyl CoA Reductase ( CCR ) Are Associated With Variation in Microfibril Angle in Eucalyptus spp.
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that LD mapping can be used to identify alleles associated with wood quality traits in natural populations of trees with higher resolution than family-based quantitative trait locus studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid measurement of the transverse dimensions of tracheids in radial wood sections from Pinus radiata
TL;DR: In this article, a new analytical instrument was developed for rapid measurement of the transverse dimensions of tracheids in Australian plantation-grown Pinus radiata, which combines scannwig x-ray microdensitometry and image analysis.
