From: Transcriptome profiling of Pinus radiata juvenile wood with contrasting stiffness identifies putative candidate genes involved in microfibril orientation and cell wall mechanics

Figure 4

Relative variation of mechanical and other wood properties between 10 selected families with contrasting stiffness: earlywood and latewood in each ring. Modulus of elasticity (MOE), microfibril angle (MFA) and density were measured by SilviScan 2 in 40 (Flynn) or 60 (Kromelite) wood cores collected from 10 families with the highest (HS) and lowest stiffness (LS) based on acoustics. Relative variation between the two groups of selected families in the Flynn (a) and Kromelite trials (b) is presented for earlywood (EW) and latewood (LW) using (HS-LS)/LS×100% (for MOE and density) or (LS-HS)/HS×100% (for MFA).
