Genetic Improvement of Sawn-Board Stiffness and Strength in Scots Pine (<i>Pinus sylvestris</i> L.)

Genetic Improvement of Sawn-Board Stiffness and Strength in Scots Pine (<i>Pinus sylvestris</i> L.)

Given an overall aim of improving Scots pine structural wood quality by selective tree breeding, we investigated the potential of non-destructive acoustic sensing tools to accurately predict wood stiffness (modulus of elasticity, MOE) and strength (modulus of rupture, MOR) of sawn boards. Non-destru...
