Wood density constitutes an integrative trait of water relations and growth. We compared the recently developed blue intensity (BI) method, which has only rarely been applied to tropical conifers, for determining wood density with anatomical analyses in studying the three rarely investigated palaeotropical pine species Pinus kesiya, P. dalatensis and P. krempfii, which co-occur in South-Central Vietnam, but differ in their distribution areas. For species comparisons, we also calculated the hydraulic conductivity of the xylem with the Hagen-Poiseuille equation and the water potential causing 50% loss of hydraulic conductivity () based on the anatomical analyses. We hypothesized (i) that the BI values are correlated with the cell wall fractions, the calculated hydraulic conductivity and the values; and (ii) that the wider occurrence of P. kesiya, which also can grow at drier sites, is reflected by higher wood density, lower hydraulic conductivity, lower (more negative) values and a smaller variation in the wood anatomical features across the years compared to the other two species. In agreement to our hypotheses, the results of the BI and the anatomical method were closely correlated, especially for sapwood, and P. kesiya exhibited features that are related to the growth at drier sites and to a higher tolerance towards drought: higher wood density and cell wall:lumen area ratios of its smaller xylem conduits, lower calculated hydraulic conductivity and more negative values. The BI method is well suitable for determining the wood density in tropical conifers. As a fast and inexpensive method, it may be used for initial screening woody species for their water transport capacity and drought resistance.
木材密度是水关系和生长的综合特征。本文将最近发展的用于测定木材密度的蓝色强度(BI)方法与解剖学分析方法进行了比较，该方法很少应用于热带针叶树，研究了三种很少被调查的古热带松树种kesiya, P. dalatensis和P. krempfii，这三种松树共同生长在越南中南部，但分布区域不同。为了进行物种比较，我们还利用Hagen-Poiseuille方程计算了木质部的水力导电性，并根据解剖分析计算了导致水力导电性损失50%的水势()。我们假设(i) BI值与细胞壁分数、计算的水力导率和值相关;(2)与其他两种树种相比，kesiya的分布范围更广，也可以在更干燥的地方生长，表现为更高的木材密度、更低的水力导率、更低(更负)的数值和更小的木材解剖特征变化。与我们的假设一致，BI和解剖方法的结果密切相关，特别是边材，克西亚树表现出与干燥部位生长有关的特征，对干旱的耐受性更高:木材密度和细胞壁更高，木质部导管的管腔面积比更小，计算水力导率更低，负值更多。BI法适用于测定热带针叶树的木材密度。作为一种快速、廉价的方法，它可用于初步筛选木本植物的输水能力和抗旱性。

A conventional stereo light microscope was used to image polished wood surfaces at cellular resolution over size scales of the growth ring or larger. Bandpass filtering and local area contrast enhancement were used to aid automatic image thresholding and binarisation. An estimate for the location and proportion of cell collapse was introduced based on the distance between uncollapsed cell lumens. Additionally, spatial associations between vessels were determined using a Euclidean distance transform. The analysis of pith to bark cores provided sufficient detail to show significant intra and inter-annual trends in Pinus radiata tracheid dimensions (wall thickness, wall area, and radial widths). These trends were consistent with expectations and in agreement with the literature. Measured cell dimensions may be influenced by cell collapse and deformation as a result of drying. The analysis of air, kiln and oven-dried Eucalyptus nitens showed that cell collapse was highly variable but generally more prominent in the outer third of growth rings. There were significant changes in vessel shape across the growth rings and vessel area was significantly reduced by drying. The technique provides an intermediate step between detailed microscopy and macroscopic imaging that allows spatial analysis at the wood cell level.

The Hibiscus macrophyllus tree is widely planted in Indonesia especially on Java Island. It has several advantages to be developed commercially as a community or plantation forest compared to the famous introduced species Falcataria moluccana and Anthocephalus spp., including faster growth, higher wood density, and better stem morphology (straighter, more rounded, and lesser branches). However, information about the basic properties of this wood grown in plantations is limited. This study aimed to investigate the anatomical properties of H. macrophyllus and their variation at three ages (8, 12 and 16 years old), as well as to predict the mature wood development by using radial variation in fiber length, microfibril angle (MFA), and wood density from pith toward the bark as the indicators. The wood samples were obtained from a community forest area at Ciamis Regency, West Java Province. Furthermore, anatomical characteristics were examined through wood slides following the IAWA List, while fibre and vessel element dimensions were measured through macerated specimens prepared by modified Franklin’s method. The MFA was determined by X-Ray Diffraction, while wood density was measured in line with British Standard 373-57. The results showed that the anatomical structures were not influenced by tree age, except for wood porosity, and fibre and vessel element dimensions. The 16-year-old tree tended to be semi-ring-porous, the younger trees were diffuse-porous, while the fiber and vessel element length, as well as the diameter, were decreased. Meanwhile, the wall thickness was increased. The fibre length, MFA, and wood density were useful indicators for wood maturity that seemed to be developed at about 11 years of age.

Limited investigations have been carried out on the physiological and growth responses of bark to wounding, even though wound periderms play crucial roles in tree defenses. To understand the mechanisms of wound periderm formation, we studied the growth responses and structural changes of wounded bark of three Cryptomeria japonica individuals. We observed the developmental time frame and morphology of wound periderms around mechanically induced wounds in summer. The wound responses included discoloration, lignification, and suberization in tissues present at the time of wounding, followed by wound periderm formation and secondary metabolite deposition. The trees had developed wound periderms approximately 4 weeks after wounding. The wound periderms were within 3 mm in the axial directions and within 1 mm in the lateral directions from the wound surfaces. The distinct patterns of wound periderm formation in the axial and lateral regions resulted from the arrangement and anatomical features of the cells adjacent to the wounds. The wound phellem cells were tangentially narrower and axially shorter in the side and upper/lower regions, respectively, of the wounds. Therefore, the cell division frequencies in the planes parallel to the wound surface may be greater than those in the other directions. Wound reactions in bark might initially be triggered by microenvironmental changes, such as the spread of desiccation, which depends directly on the morphology of phloem cell complexes.

The bacterial decay of waterlogged archeological wood (WAW, hard pine spp.) taken from Daebudo shipwreck No. 2, which was buried in the intertidal zone in the mid-west coast (Yellow sea) of South Korea approximately 800 years ago, was investigated. The maximum moisture content of the outer parts (approx. 3 cm of depth) of WAW was approximately 4.2 times higher than that of undegraded reference pine wood. ATR-FTIR and solid-state 13C-NMR analysis indicated a relative increase of the lignin concentration in WAW caused by the degradation of cellulose and hemicelluloses across the board studied (31-cm-wide and 14.5-cm-thick board). Micromorphological studies also revealed that bacterial degradation was progressed to a depth of 15 cm (vertically 7.3 cm) from the surface, which is the innermost part of the board. Erosion bacteria (EB) were identified as the main degraders of WAW. Degradation by tunneling bacteria (TB) was occasionally detected. Decay resistance to bacterial attacks in WAW varied between cell types and between cell wall regions. Axial tracheids showed less resistance than ray tracheids, ray parenchyma cells, and axial intercellular canal cells, including strand tracheids, subsidiary parenchyma cells, and epithelial cells. Decay resistance was higher in ray tracheids and strand tracheids than in ray parenchyma cells and subsidiary parenchyma-/epithelial cells, respectively. Bordered- and cross-field pit membranes and the initial pit borders showed higher decay resistance than the tracheid cell walls. Overall, the S2 layer of the axial tracheids showed the weakest resistance to bacterial attacks.

A new species, Syzygium guipingensis sp. nov. (Myrtaceae), is described based on mummified fossil wood from the Miocene Erzitang Formation of Guiping Basin, Guangxi, South China. This species represents the most ancient reliable fossil record of the genus Syzygium in eastern Asia, showing the greatest similarity to the extant species S. buxifolium Hook. et Arnott. Its occurrence in the Miocene is consistent with the diversification age of the Asian lineage within Syzygium as estimated by molecular dating (11.4 Ma). The fossil record of Syzygium suggests that this genus migrated from Australia to eastern Asia in the Miocene, coincidently with the formation of island chains between these continents.

We studied the time-course of stem response for six months following complete girdling in branches of Aquilaria sinensis to determine the potential role of interxylary phloem (IP) in this response. It was found that the vascular cambium, as well as its derivative secondary xylem and phloem, regenerated fully through redifferentiation of IP. We confirmed that vascular cambium regenerated within one month after girdling based on observation of new vessels, IP, and secondary phloem fibers. The time-course study showed that IPs made connections with each other, merged, and became larger through the proliferation of IPs parenchyma cells and the cleaving of secondary xylem in a narrow zone 400 to 1000 μm deep inside the girdled edge. This led to the formation of a complete circular sheath of vascular cambium, followed by the regeneration of vascular tissue. It is worth noting that the secondary xylem is regenerated always following the formation of a thick belt of wound xylem.

Congenital myopathies are an expanding spectrum of neuromuscular disorders with early infantile or childhood onset hypotonia and slowly or nonprogressive skeletal muscle weakness. RYR1 -related myopathies are the most common and frequently diagnosed class of congenital myopathies. Malignant hyperthermia susceptibility and central core disease are autosomal dominant or de novo RYR1 disorder, whereas multiminicore, congenital fiber type disproportion and centronuclear myopathy are autosomal recessive RYR1 disorders. The presence of ptosis, ophthalmoparesis, facial, and proximal muscles weakness, with the presence of dusty cores and multiple internal nuclei on muscle biopsy are clues to the diagnosis. We describe an 18-year-old male, who presented with early infantile onset ptosis, ophthalmoplegia, myopathic facies, hanging lower jaw, and proximal muscle weakness confirmed as an RYR1 -related congenital centronuclear myopathy on genetic analysis and muscle biopsy.

Attention to illegal logging practices and demanding policies in transnational timber trade have driven the need for species-level identification of timber. Historically wood has been identified to genus level using microscopy and anatomical characteristics, however, new chemometric and imaging methods have been developed to increase the speed and precision of timber identification. This study approaches species identification using a combination of complementary methods: Direct Analysis in Real Time–Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (DART-TOFMS), wood anatomy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Seven commercially and environmentally significant species in Pterocarpus, including P. erinaceus (CITES Appendix II), P. santalinus (CITES Appendix II), P. tinctorius (CITES Appendix II), P. indicus, P. macrocarpus, P. dalbergioides, and P. soyauxii were studied. It was found that DART-TOFMS paired with discriminant analysis of principal components (PCA) could classify species with an accuracy of 95–100%, while anatomy in combination with PCA applied to fluorescence spectra could be used to classify CITES Appendix II species. In the absence of access to DART-TOFMS, a combination of wood anatomy and fluorescence spectrometry can permit more accurate identification than anatomy alone.
对非法采伐行为的关注和跨国木材贸易中苛刻的政策推动了对木材进行物种一级鉴定的需要。历史上，木材已经通过显微镜和解剖学特征鉴定到属水平，然而，新的化学计量学和成像方法已经开发出来，以提高木材鉴定的速度和精度。本研究利用互补的方法组合进行物种鉴定:实时飞行时间质谱直接分析(DART-TOFMS)、木材解剖和荧光光谱。研究了7种具有重要商业价值和环境价值的狐猴属物种，包括狐猴属(附录II)、桑塔林属(附录II)、红狐猴属(附录II)、indicus、大狐猴属、dalbergioides和大豆狐猴属。结果表明，DART-TOFMS结合主成分判别分析(discriminant analysis of principal components, PCA)对物种的分类准确率为95 ~ 100%，而解剖学结合主成分判别分析(PCA)结合荧光光谱对CITES附录II物种进行分类的准确率为95 ~ 100%。在没有DART-TOFMS的情况下，木材解剖和荧光光谱法的结合可以比单独解剖更准确地进行鉴定。

Gasson, C. Lancaster","doi":"10.1163/22941932-BJA10064","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1163/22941932-BJA10064","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000Attention to illegal logging practices and demanding policies in transnational timber trade have driven the need for species-level identification of timber. Historically wood has been identified to genus level using microscopy and anatomical characteristics, however, new chemometric and imaging methods have been developed to increase the speed and precision of timber identification. This study approaches species identification using a combination of complementary methods: Direct Analysis in Real Time–Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (DART-TOFMS), wood anatomy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. Seven commercially and environmentally significant species in Pterocarpus, including P. erinaceus (CITES Appendix II), P. santalinus (CITES Appendix II), P. tinctorius (CITES Appendix II), P. indicus, P. macrocarpus, P. dalbergioides, and P. soyauxii were studied. It was found that DART-TOFMS paired with discriminant analysis of principal components (PCA) could classify species with an accuracy of 95–100%, while anatomy in combination with PCA applied to fluorescence spectra could be used to classify CITES Appendix II species. In the absence of access to DART-TOFMS, a combination of wood anatomy and fluorescence spectrometry can permit more accurate identification than anatomy alone.","PeriodicalId":55037,"journal":{"name":"IAWA Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64610369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
