ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HEMICELLULOSES POLYSACCHARIDES OF SCOTS PINE WOOD (PINUS SYLVESTRIS)

Characterization of a Lhcb5 cDNA from Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris).

Despite extensive studies on the LHC proteins of PSI and PSII (for review, see Jansson, 1994), the detailed polypeptide composition of LHC I and LHC I1 has not been understood until recently. The nature of the Lhcb5 gene product has been one of the major uncertainties, since it has been identified both as the CP26 (or the equivalent complex LHCIIc) polypeptide and one of two CP29 polypeptides (...

Peculiar traits of wood in a leaning stem of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)

The paper analyses biometrical and anatomical traits of wood in a leaning stem of pine trees. For study purpose, five pine trees (Pinus sylvestris L.) with a visibly leaning stem were chosen. Wood samples were taken at three different stem heights, that is, below the stem curvature, at the curvature and above the curvature. Microscopic specimens were prepared and used for the following measurem...

Reversibility of Dimensional Changes in Birch (Betula Pubescens) and Scots Pine (Pinus Sylvestris L.) Wood

The reversibility of wood shrinkage through swelling of birch (Betula pubescens) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) as a measure of their response to changing conditions of adsorption and desorption during service was determined. Virtually all dimensional changes that occurred in the form of shrinkage during drying at both conventional and high temperatures were recovered during swelling in b...

Characterization of cDNAs corresponding to two Lhca4 alleles from Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris).

Identification and Quantification of Indole-3-methanol in Etiolated Seedlings of Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris L.).

Combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry has been used to identify indole-3-methanol in a purified buffer extract from etiolated seedlings of Pinus sylvestris L. Quantitative estimates obtained by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection, corrected for losses occurring during purification, indicated that etiolated seedlings of P. sylvestris contained 19.7 +/- 1.4 ...
