Proposed Chapters

  • Geometric parameters of the cell wall molecular architecture; MFA (from x-ray diffraction), fibril aggregate arrangement (from AFM) in the cell wall and the chemical composition of wood.

  • Mathematical model investigating the formation of growth stresses on a supramolecular scale.

  • The effect of the G-layer on growth stresses released by enzymatic removal.

  • Analysis of the heritability of growth stresses in Eucalyptus bosistoana through successive copicing (Harewood trial).

  • Analysis of the heritability of growth stresses in Eucalyptus bosistoana at the family level (Woodville trial).
