چکیده

The wound-associated wood that developed 17 months following artificial xylem injury in Eucalyptus globulus (Labill) and Eucalyptus nitens (Maiden) was examined anatomically and chemically. This new tissue located immediately adjacent to the wound site and termed “wound wood” was highly variable consisting of callus, altered wood of increased parenchyma density, and dark extractives, visible to the naked eye. Subsequent chemical analysis of crude wound wood extracts by HPLC coupled to negative ion electrospray mass spectrometry revealed the presence of a diverse range of polyphenolic compounds including hydrolysable tannins, proanthocyanidins, flavanone glycosides, and formylated phloroglucinol compounds. A number of polyphenols were unequivocally identified including engelitin, pedunculagin, and tellimagrandin I. Other compounds present in wound wood include various hydroxystilbene glycosides and volatile terpenes. The importance of the diverse range of secondary metabolites detected in wound wood is discussed in relation to tree wound repair responses. Résumé : Les caractéristiques anatomiques et chimiques du bois associé aux blessures qui s’était développé 17 mois après avoir infligé des blessures artificielles au xylème ont été étudiées chez Eucalyptus globulus (Labill) et Eucalyptus nitens (Maiden). Ces nouveaux tissus situés immédiatement autour de la blessure et appelés « bois blessé » étaient très variés et constitués de calus, de bois altéré avec une densité plus élevée de parenchyme et plus de substances solubles de couleur noire visibles à l’œil nu. Des analyses chimiques subséquentes d’extraits bruts de bois blessé par chromatographie liquide haute performance couplée à la spectrométrie de masse avec électronébulisation d’ions chargés négativement a révélé la présence d’une gamme diversifiée de polyphénols incluant des tannins hydrolysables, des proanthocyanidines, des glycosides flavanoïdes et des phloroglucinols contenant des radicaux formyle. Plusieurs polyphénols ont été catégoriquement identifiés incluant l’engélitine, la pédunculagine, et la tellimagrandine I. D’autres composés présents dans le bois blessé incluent divers hydroxystilbènes glycosides et des terpènes volatiles. L’importance de la gamme variée de métabolites secondaires détectés dans le bois blessé est discutée en relation avec les réactions associées à la cicatrisation des blessures chez les arbres.

Leaf water relations of Eucalyptus globulus ssp. globulus and E. nitens: seasonal, drought and species effects.

In August 1990, a 2-ha plantation was established in an area where rainfall (about 515 mm year(-1)) was insufficient to meet evaporative demand. On nine occasions between September 1991 and April 1993, pressure-volume curves were constructed for irrigated and rainfed Eucalyptus globulus ssp. globulus Labill. and E. nitens (Deane and Maiden) Maiden trees. During the experiment, rainfed trees exp...

Lipid and lignin composition of woods from different eucalypt species

The lipid and lignin compositions of woods from the eucalypt species Eucalyptus globulus, E. nitens, E. maidenii, E. grandis, and E. dunnii have been characterized. The lipid composition was analyzed by GC and GC/MS using shortand medium-length high-temperature capillary columns, which allowed the detection of intact highmolecular-weight compounds. Similar lipid compositions were observed in al...

Isolation and characterization of lignins from Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex Maiden and Eucalyptus globulus Labill. by enzymatic mild acidolysis (EMAL)

Despite the growing importance of Eucalyptus wood as raw material for pulp and paper, there is a lack of knowledge on the chemistry of their macromolecular components. The present paper addresses this issue by applying the recently developed protocol for isolating enzymatic mild acidolysis lignins (EMAL) from Eucalyptus grandis, Eucalyptus globulus and the softwood species Douglas fir and white...

Autohydrolysis of Eucalyptus globulus was conducted at three different intensity levels typical for prehydrolysis kraft pulping as utilized for manufacturing dissolving pulp grades. The objective was to establish for the autohydrolysis process a detailed mass balance comprising the chemical composition of all three phases: the autohydrolysate, the released gas, and the solid residue. Carbohydra...
