Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBotany, Ecology and Diversity of Acacia Koa in the Hawaiian IslandsKazue Lee Ishihara, Maia Corpuz, Clifford Wayne Morden, Dulal BorthakurAcacia koa (koa) is a valuable leguminous timber-wood tree endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Over the past century, conversion of some native forests for agriculture and ranching, uncontrolled spread of invasive plant species and outbreak of a deadly fungal wilt disease severely reduced A. koa forests. However, recently there has been a growing interest in re-establishing A. koa as an … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2017 · 9,008 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Physical-Hydrical Behavior of Massouhoin Coconut Tree Wood in TogoEssey Agbédidi Kossi, Amey Bollanigni Kossi et al.Wood is a very complex and anisotropic material whose properties are significantly influenced by its age and plantation areas. The purpose of this study is to determine the density distribution model of COCOS NUCIFERA (coconut tree) wood from Togo and to analyze its water behavior of physical and water properties 932 wood specimens are selected from a tree trunk from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 11 Dec 2024 · 8,189 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIllumina-Based De Novo Transcriptome Analysis and Identifications of Genes Involved in the Monolignol Biosynthesis Pathway in Acacia koaKazue Ishihara, Eric K.W. Lee, Isabel Rushanaedy, Dulal BorthakurAcacia koa is a leguminous timber tree endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. For breeding projects involved in improving wood quality of A. koa, understanding of genes influencing wood quality is crucial. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify A. koa genes in the monolignol biosynthesis pathway, which is involved in wood formation and development. In this study, whole … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 6 Aug 2015 · 11,037 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBioinformatics Analysis of Xyloglucan Endotransglycosylase/Hydrolase (XTH) Gene from Developing Xylem of a Tropical Timber Tree Neolamarckia CadambaTiong Shing Yiing, Ho Wei Seng, Pang Shek Ling, Ismail JusohThis study reported the isolation and in silico characterization of a full-length Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/Hydrolase (XTH) cDNA from Neolamarckia cadamba, an important tropical light hardwood plantation tree species. XTH is considered as a key agent to regulate cell wall expansion and is believed to be responsible for the incorporation of newly synthesised xyloglucan into the wall matrix. The full-length of NcXTH … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2015 · 7,426 accessesView PDF Cite
