Pinus pinaster Ait. is the most widespread conifer in Spain and is now the only species
tapped for its oleoresin. The role of tree size and xylem anatomy at distal parts (⩾ 10 cm) …

External induction of resin secretion, based on the defence system of Pinus trees, has been
performed by humans since Classical times through various methods. The socio-economic …

In the last five years, sharp increases in the price of natural resins, accompanied by
technological advances directed toward mechanization, have made resin tapping a strategic …

Abstract Changes in resource availability and biotic and abiotic stress may alter the
defensive mechanisms of pine trees. The effect of fertilisation on the resin canal structure of …

Pine resin is a highly valuable and sought-after non-timber forest product with multiple uses
in many industrial sectors. Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) is the main tapped species in …

Biomass of pine resin finds several applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, biofuel and
food industries. Resin exudation after injury is a key defense response in Pinaceae since …

In conifer stems, secretory canals synthesize and store resin for defense against herbivores
and pathogens. Resin terpenes are used as raw material by an array of industrial sectors …

Resin canals are an important taxonomic characteristic in conifers. In this paper we
examined within-and between-needle variation of the cross-sectional number of resin …

The resin yield superiority of 51 selected high resin yielding candidate trees of Pinus
pinaster in Central Spain, was evaluated over two years. The resin yield of each selected …

Pine resin is a non-wood forest product that has been used for multiple purposes since
ancient times throughout the world. In recent years, resin tapping activity has increased in …
