Stilbenes, phenolic compounds rich in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) heartwood, have strong fungicidal properties. We studied the effect of stilbene extract as an impregnant for Scots pine sapwood in …
The aim of the project is to develop and experiment optical technology and related software to measure the extractive content of Scots pine, Pinus sylvestris L., heartwood. The technology is …
Fast and accurate methods are needed to measure durability related chemical characteristics from solid wood. In the field of forest tree breeding the measurements would be performed from increment core …
A candidate method based on UV-fluorescence of stilbenes is under development for fast measurement of stilbene concentration on solid heartwood of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). Development is focused on …
Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) heartwood is rich of stilbenes, which are known to have antimicrobial and antifungal effects. Wide natural among-tree variation has been reported in heartwood stilbene content, …
There is wide natural variation among individual Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trunks in decay resistance-giving extractive, such as stilbenes, contents. Effective exploitation and research of pine heartwood requires fast …
