Presented research focused on wood tissue diversity in terms of the juvenile wood proportion (wood located near the pith and of structure and properties different from outer wood zone, called as mature wood), an important characteristic for wood properties, to assess the evolutionary and functional impact of genetic variations. In this paper, the material from experimental provenance plot in Poland (Rogów) was presented. The tested trees were grown at the same time, in the same soil for the same period of time, but the parental stands of tested trees were from the different Polish regions. Based on the results it was concluded that origin of parental trees has an influence on the amount of juvenile wood expressed by the number of annual growth rings, as well as the volume occupied in the trunk of the trees. The wood formation, particularly the amount of juvenile wood, is influenced by the climatic conditions of parental trees’ habitat (epigenetic indicators). The amount of precipitation is predominantly important in this respect. The new mathematical model for estimating the number of annual increments corresponding to the juvenile wood zone was proposed. The obtained results highpoint the necessity of taking epigenetic indicators into account in future breeding strategies composed with genetic markers for both wood production and quality in the context of climate change that requires adaptation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":810,"journal":{"name":"Wood Science and Technology","volume":"59 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00226-025-01661-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143883671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This identification is crucial for regulatory purposes, certifying legal lumber, preventing environmental crimes, and protecting ecosystems and society. Current wood identification methods are primarily based on anatomical observation of wood tissues, chemical profiling using direct analysis in real-time time-of-flight mass spectrometry (DART-TOFMS), and DNA-based analyses. While these approaches have their advantages, they also present challenges, particularly when species-level identification is required for enforcement. As an alternative, metabolite profiling using separation techniques coupled with mass spectrometry shows potential as a robust species-level wood identification method. Here, we present a method for classifying wood at the species level through chemical profiling of the wood metabolome using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC-TOFMS) combined with chemometric analysis. In this study, different tissues, including sapwood, heartwood, and branches from seven wood species collected from genetically characterized trees representing three distinct genera (<i>Quercus</i>, <i>Acer</i>, <i>Picea</i>) were investigated. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to visualize differences between species and tissue types, while partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and feature selection were used to construct classification models for species-level wood identification. The classification models were built using data from wood cores, branches, or a mixture of wood cores and branch samples. Each classification model was tested with an external validation set, and the performance of the classification model was evaluated based on the prediction of the external validation data. Our results show that classification modelling using wood metabolomic data is promising, especially with the same tissue type, presenting accuracies of 100%, 100%, and 93.2% in the prediction of wood core samples at the species level for <i>Quercus</i>, <i>Acer</i>, and <i>Picea</i>, respectively.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":810,"journal":{"name":"Wood Science and Technology","volume":"59 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143861302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, four wood composite types (plywood (PLY), alkaline copper quaternary-treated plywood (ACQ PLY), oriented strand board (OSB) and particleboard (PB)) were ground and sieved into fraction size. Length, width, and thickness of particles from the 2–4 mm and 4–10 mm fractions were then characterized, and the slenderness ratio and specific surface area calculated. Using particles from the four wood composite types and both fractions, hydration tests were conducted, and the compatibility factor computed. The results demonstrated there was little effect of size fractions on the slenderness ratio and specific surface area. However, the wood composite type did impact slenderness ratio and specific surface area, with OSB particles being characterized by the largest slenderness ratio and specific surface area. As expected from their slenderness ratio, but contradictory to their high specific surface area values, OSB particles were characterized by a high compatibility factor. But so were the PLY and ACQ PLY particles, which was unexpected based on their slenderness ratio. Of all hydration curves, only PB particles did not have a second temperature peak and preliminary cement-bonded boards made with PB particles were very brittle. The compatibility factor alone should not be used to assess compatibility of wood composite with cement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":810,"journal":{"name":"Wood Science and Technology","volume":"59 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143835760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experiments were conducted on the Mini-ImageNet, CIFAR100, and CIFAR10 public datasets. The results show that ARNet achieved top-1 accuracies of 65.21%, 78.32%, and 93.39% on Mini-ImageNet, CIFAR100, and CIFAR10, respectively, outperforming other models such as RMT, TCFormer, and SSViT.

After loading the parameters into the re-parameterized model, the validation set accuracy was 99.20%, with a detection time of 0.024s per image. This demonstrates that by combining residual dynamic convolution with multi-scale dilated attention, the accuracy and real-time performance of wood micrograph classification can be effectively improved.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":810,"journal":{"name":"Wood Science and Technology","volume":"59 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143818218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we consider a simplified bacterial decay model and develop a numerical framework to integrate the decay model into a standard DOL model. Two approaches are proposed and compared: one considering the homogenised effect of bacterial decay over the entire cross section, and the other taking into account the localised failure accelerated by bacterial decay and applying stiffness reduction to allow stress redistribution. Although the homogenised failure criterion is found to potentially underestimate the effect of bacterial decay, both approaches are able to capture the designated decay pattern.

Among prokaryotes, the genus <i>Streptomyces</i> stands out, with laccases playing a key role in its lignocellulolytic enzyme system. However, bacterial laccases have a lower redox potential than fungal laccases, suggesting that their action on lignin is indirect, via high redox potential intermediates. Prominent examples of intermediates are hydroxyl radicals. In <i>Basidiomycota</i> fungi, the production of these radicals occurs through quinone redox cycling, involving a Fenton reaction. This study demonstrates, for the first time, extracellular hydroxyl radical production via quinone redox cycling in the bacterium <i>Streptomyces cyaneus</i> CECT 3335, with laccase playing an essential role. The process begins with the extracellular oxidation of quinones to semiquinones, catalyzed by laccase. In the presence of Fe³⁺, semiquinones produce hydroxyl radicals via a Fenton reaction. The cycle is restored through quinone reduction by mycelium-associated reductase activity. H₂O₂ production, Fe³⁺ reduction, and hydroxyl radical generation were confirmed in <i>S. cyaneus</i>. The key role of laccase was verified using a mutant strain lacking laccase activity, in which hydroxyl radical production was absent. The oxidative potential of this mechanism in <i>S. cyaneus</i> was evidenced by the degradation of non-phenolic lignin-related compounds homoveratric acid and veratraldehyde and by the ability to depolymerize kraft lignin.
