Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of wood quality traits in Eucalyptus nitens (2010, methodology): “Similarly, SilviScan is used for characterising variation in physical traits such as density and microfibril angle (MFA; Evans and Ilic 2001).”
Models for predicting microfibril angle variation in Scots pine (2012, background): “Consequently, it is now widely regarded, along with wood density, as one of the most significant wood properties influencing the end-use performance of solid wood (Evans and Ilic 2001; Downes et al. 2002; McLean et al. 2010).”
The effects of site and stand factors on the tree and wood quality of Sitka spruce growing in the United Kingdom. (2009, methodology): “This was not unexpected as latitude is known to affect wood density (e.g., Bryan and Pearson 1955), which in turn is a key determinant of wood stiffness (Evans and Ilic 2001).”
Microfibril diameter in celery collenchyma cellulose: X-ray scattering and NMR evidence (2007, background): “Secondary-wall cellulose dominates the strength and stiffness of plant materials such as wood (Fratzl et al. 2004; Evans and Ilic 2001).”
Radial Variation in Wood Structure and Function in Woody Plants, and Hypotheses for Its Occurrence (2011, background): “Because wood stiffness and strength are functions of both density and MfA (Evans and Ilic 2001; Via et al. 2009; Lachenbruch et al. 2010), radial increases in these two properties could still occur in species showing a radial decrease in density if the reduction in MfA was sufficient.”
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WOOD DENSITY, MICROFIBRIL ANGLE AND STIFFNESS IN THINNED AND FERTILIZED PINUS RADIATA (2002, background): “In essence this variable is a mass weighted MFA providing information not only about the MFA but also the proportion of the cell wall mass represented by orientated material (Evans & Ilic 2001).”
Very early selection for solid wood quality: screening for early winners (2009, background): “Megraw et al. (1999) and Evans and Ilic (2001) showed that the combination of MFA and DEN explains over 90% of MoE variation.”
ESTIMATION OF MICROFIBRIL ANGLE OF INCREMENT CORES BY NEAR INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY (2002, methodology): “MFA is recognised as an important factor in determining the mechanical properties of individual fibres (Page et al. 1972, 1977) and in conjunction with density largely determines the strength and stiffness of solid wood (Cave & Walker 1994; Megraw et al. 1999; Evans & Ilic 2001).”
Effects of management intensity, genetics and planting density on wood stiffness in a plantation of juvenile loblolly pine in the southeastern USA (2007, unknown): “density (Evans and Ilic, 2001; Yang and Evans, 2003; Cramer et al., 2005).”
Stiffness and wood variation of 3-year old Pinus radiata clones (2004, methodology): “To use MOE rather than BD as a selection criterion will also benefit from the fact that MOE is a composite function of MFA and BD (Evans and Ilic 2001; Lindström et al. 2002) making it a more robust selection trait.”
Microfibril orientation across the secondary cell wall of Radiata pine tracheids (2005, result): “…et al. 1997; Evans 1998; Ye and Sundström 1997; Huang et al. 1998; Jang 1998; Lichtenegger et al. 1998; Anagnost et al. 2000; Long et al. 2000; Evans and Ilic 2001; Khalili et al. 2001; Wang et al. 2001; Bergander et al. 2002) there have been relatively few recent studies reporting…”
