Growth response of Pinus pinaster Ait. to climatic variables in central Spanish forests

Sawing simulation of Pinus pinaster Ait

The paper deals with the sawing simulation of Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) and is a report from a project aiming to increase the knowledge in how different raw material characteristics and sawing factors are affecting on the sawing yield of Maritime pine. The conversion was executed by an integrated optimising software system, WooDCIM® developed at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finlan...

Influence of copper on root growth and morphology of Pinus pinea L. and Pinus pinaster Ait. seedlings.

We assessed the effects of Cu on root growth and morphology of stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) and maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) seedlings grown in culture solutions supplied with 0.012 (control), 0.1, 1 or 5 micro M CuSO(4). The presence of 5 micro M Cu in the nutrient solution completely inhibited root growth of both species within 3 days. In both species, taproot elongation was reduced in ...

Compression wood-responsive proteins in developing xylem of maritime pine (Pinus pinaster ait.).

When a conifer shoot is displaced from its vertical position, compression wood (CW) is formed on the under side and can eventually return the shoot to its original position. Changes in cell wall structure and chemistry associated with CW are likely to result from differential gene/protein expression. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of differentiating xylem proteins was combin...
