Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a bast-fiber crop well-known for the great potential to produce
sustainable fibers. Nevertheless, hemp fiber quality is a complex trait, and little is known …

Background Lignin is a highly abundant biopolymer synthesized by plants as a complex
component of plant secondary cell walls. Efforts to utilize lignin-based bioproducts are …

Rates of CO2 efflux of stems and branches are highly variable among and within trees and
across stands. Scaling factors have only partially succeeded in accounting for the observed …

The goal of this study was to investigate whether increased nitrogen use efficiency found in
Populus nigra L.(Jean Pourtet) under elevated CO 2 would correlate with changes in the …

The biomass includes any type of regenerable organic material, comprising the terrestrial
plants (agricultural crops for foods, trees and crops designed for the production of energy …

The microfibril angle of seven poplar clones was determined by using X-ray diffraction
technique. Microfibril angle, wood basic density, fiber length, fiber width and cellulose …

This study focused on physical and mechanical properties of fast-growing poplar clones in
relation to potential end uses with high added value. A total of 14 trees from three different …

In order to improve qualitative traits of harvestable biomass and enhance its conversion into
second generation biofuels (eg bioethanol), much attention should be paid to manage …

Studying lignin content is critical for analyzing the inherent constitution, performance, and
application of lignocellulosic materials. However, the traditional methods (wet chemical …

Anatomical properties of white poplar (Populus alba L.) wood have not been sufficiently
investigated and quantified, whereas data on fiber characteristics will certainly define its …
