Abstract Purpose of Review Forest and wood products are often characterized by a
uniformity of quality attributes, which necessitates the development of rapid and non …

Wood is the main feedstock source for pulp and paper industry. However, chemical
composition variations from multispecies and multisource feedstock heavily affect the …

Visible and near infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy is a mature analytical tool for qualitative
and quantitative analysis in various sectors. However, in the face of “curse of dimensionality” …

Forty-one E. bosistoana families were evaluated for the production of heartwood quantity
and quality in two sites. High estimated heritabilities of heartwood diameter (HWD) were …

Natural durability within a timber species can be variable. Hence efficient assessments of
natural durability are required to ensure quality either through tree breeding or segregation …

The internal cycling of nitrogen (N) storage and consumption in trees is an important
physiological mechanism associated with tree growth. Here, we examined the capability of …

Decay resistance is an important property of heartwood timber. The decay resistance of
Scots pine heartwood correlates with its stilbene content, but the determination of both …

The NIRS technology, together with multivariate methods, has already proved to be capable
of discriminating wood from different forest species that are visually similar and determining …

The detection of maize starch content is of great significance for maize processing industry
and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an ideal rapid detection technology. However, the …

Background The allocation of non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) plays a critical role in the
physiology and metabolism of tree growth and survival defense. However, little is known …
