Changes of secondary metabolites in Pinus sylvestris L. needles under increasing soil water deficit

A multiphasic response to water deficit was found in Scots pine primary and secondary metabolism. First, an increase of terpenoids coincided with the stomatal closure. Second, an accumulation of proline, ABA, and shikimic acid was detected when

ACOUSTIC EVALUATION OF LOBLOLLY PINE TREE- AND LUMBER-LENGTH LOGS ALLOWS FOR SEGREGATION OF LUMBER MODULUS OF ELASTICITY, NOT FOR MODULUS OF RUPTURE

Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) logs can be evaluated using acoustic velocity whereby threshold acoustic velocity values can be set to ensure lumber meets specified mechanical property design values for modulus of elasticity   Abstract There is a
