1. Anatomy of Stem Hyperplasia Called Tokkuri Disease in Chamaecyparis Obtusa

Author:
Yamamoto, Fukuju; Shimizu, Shunji; Hashizume, Hayato
ISSN:
0928-1541
Subject:
Chamaecyparis obtusa; bark; cambium; hyperplasia; stems; tracheids; trees; wood anatomy; Japan
Abstract:
... The stem hyperplasia called tokkuri-disease in Japan was observed on the lower part of stems of 25-29-year-old Chamaecyparis obtusa trees. The anatomy of the hyperplastic portions was characterised by rapid proliferation of the cambium, short and thin-walled tracheids, a large number of multiseriate rays, and thickened bark. The cambial activity in the hyperplastic portion was high in July and rem ...

Abstract:
... Occurrence of bark-feeding damage by sika deer (Cervus nippon) was examined at 26 mixed plantations comprised of both sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) and hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) in Mie Prefecture, central Japan. There was no significant difference in damage ratios with the tree species in plantations with only slight damage. In plantations with a damage ratio over 5% in either tree speci ...

Abstract:
... At stand level, carbon translocation in tree stems has to match canopy photosynthesis and carbohydrate requirements to sustain growth and the physiological activities of belowground sinks. This study applied the Hagen–Poiseuille equation to the pressure-flow hypothesis to estimate phloem carbon translocation and evaluate what percentage of canopy photosynthate can be transported belowground in a h ...

Abstract:
... Wood has a long-standing history as an industrial material and fuel. Generic life cycle assessment data is therefore needed to assess the quantitative environmental impact of wood. The aim of this study was to estimate cradle-to-gate greenhouse gas emissions for round wood production of four common Japanese tree species. This study focused on Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica), hinoki cypress ( ...

The growth inhibition activities of essential oils obtained from Cryptomeria japonica, Chamaecyparis obtusa, and Pinus thunbergii were examined against the bacillariophyceae Skeletonema costatum, also known as red tide plankton. The essential oils were extracted from the heartwood, leaves, and bark of these typical indigenous Japanese conifers. The essential oils from C. japonica bark and P. thunb ...

Bark stripping by Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus) has a serious impact on conifer plantations in Japan, resulting in physical damage to the tree trunks and reduction of the value of the timber. The aim of this study was to clarify whether these plantations are more prone to damage by bears at particular times and sites, to more effectively prevent this damaging behavior. The study was condu ...

Abstract:
... Of all plant materials used to cover the roofs of traditional Japanese buildings, Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) bark, hiwada, has the longest service life and has been used from ancient times. However, wood and bark properties after hiwada harvest have not been evaluated in detail. We studied whether decortication for hiwada production in winter affected xylem and phloem formation. Decor ...
