We also present the results of dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), which was used to measure the impact of CaCO3 deposition on the viscoelastic properties of the wood. X-ray CT scanning showed that CaCO3 deposits inside the wood scaffold with increased amounts as the deposition cycles were iterated. However, DMA results did not indicate significant improvement in storage moduli (E′) of CaCO3 deposited wood. SEM images revealed that the particles did not fill all the voids to provide stress transfer between the wood scaffold and the particles, indicating a lack of composite action between the wood and CaCO3 components. To address this issue, we hypothesized that heat-pressing would lead to a mechanical bond between the particles and the matrix. After heat-pressing, DMA results showed a dramatic increase in E′ not only in CaCO3 deposited wood samples but also in control wood samples. In other words, the densification of the structure led to significant increases in E′, primarily due to densification, while the impact of the presence of CaCO3 particles was minimal. This is mainly because the volume fraction of the deposited CaCO3 particles is small as compared to the total volume of the composite.}, journal={Composites Part B: Engineering}, author={Choi, Hyunjun and Dalton, Laura E. and Peszlen, Ilona and Pourghaz, Moe}, year={2024}, month={Apr} }

Here, we show that multiplex CRISPR editing enables precise woody feedstock design for combinatorial improvement of lignin composition and wood properties. By assessing every possible combination of 69,123 multigenic editing strategies for 21 lignin biosynthesis genes, we deduced seven different genome editing strategies targeting the concurrent alteration of up to six genes and produced 174 edited poplar variants. CRISPR editing increased the wood carbohydrate-to-lignin ratio up to 228% that of wild type, leading to more-efficient fiber pulping. The edited wood alleviates a major fiber-production bottleneck regardless of changes in tree growth rate and could bring unprecedented operational efficiencies, bioeconomic opportunities, and environmental benefits. Description Editor’s summary Trees provide an important natural resource, but breeding for optimal wood properties is time consuming and hindered by the complexity of tree genetics and diversity. Sulis et al. show that CRISPR technologies can be readily deployed to enhance wood properties and augment the sustainability of forest trees (see the Perspective by Zuin Zeidler). The authors generated multiplexed genetic alterations modifying wood composition in poplar with more desirable traits for fiber pulping and lower carbon emissions. This work demonstrates that genome editing can be harnessed for breeding more efficient trees, which will provide timely opportunities for sustainable forestry and a more efficient bioeconomy. —DJ Gene editing enables precise woody-feedstock design to enhance fiber production efficiency and sustainability in poplar trees.}, number={6654}, journal={SCIENCE}, author={Sulis, Daniel B. and Jiang, Xiao and Yang, Chenmin and Marques, Barbara M. and Matthews, Megan L. and Miller, Zachary and Lan, Kai and Cofre-Vega, Carlos and Liu, Baoguang and Sun, Runkun and et al.}, year={2023}, month={Jul}, pages={216-+} }

Tissue paper products advertised as sustainable have higher prices and inferior performance than conventional products manufactured from virgin wood fibers. This work demonstrates the feasibility of using agricultural residues from fique plantations (Furcraea microphylla genus) as an alternative to Northern Bleached Softwood Fibers (NBSK) in high-performance hygiene tissue applications. For our study, fiber residues were mechanically cleaned and upgraded to a tissue pulp using a simple pulping and bleaching process. A complete characterization of tissue paper properties (bulk, softness, water absorbency, tensile strength) was performed and compared against the NBSK market pulp. Additionally, fique residue pulp was blended with Bleached Eucalyptus Kraft (BEK) to match the performance of a selected benchmark consisting of 70% BEK and 30% NBSK. Results indicate fique residue bleached pulp has similar fiber morphology and comparable strength properties in terms of the tensile strength (+ 6%) and tear strength (+ 10%), but superior bulk (+ 12%), water absorbency (+ 28%), and softness (−29% TS7 values) than NBSK pulp. A fiber blend of 70% BEK and 30% fique residue showed superior tensile strength (+ 21%), tear strength (+ 54%), bulk (+ 5.5%), water absorbency (+ 1.5%), and softness (−8.7% TS7 values) over a similar fiber blend of BEK and NBSK. Our findings demonstrate that fibers from fique residue can substitute NBSK in hygiene tissue applications. Upgrading residues from fique fibers as raw materials for the tissue industry can bridge the gap between sustainability and product performance, simultaneously opening the possibility of new revenue streams for millions of small farmers in the producing countries.}, journal={CELLULOSE}, author={Kumar, Rajnish and Zambrano, Franklin and Peszlen, Ilona and Venditti, Richard and Pawlak, Joel and Jameel, Hasan and Gonzalez, Ronalds}, year={2022}, month={Jun} }

To date, there are no well-established industry standards to quantify dusting/linting propensities in finished tissue products, thus evaluating the effectiveness of dust/lint control programs is challenging yet intriguing. This research aims to fill this gap by developing a methodology to characterize dusting in tissue papers. We have developed a device prototype (named the Tissue Dust Collector) and a methodology that together have been named the Tissue Dust Analysis System (TDAS), which aims at quantifying the propensity for tissue-grade paper products to generate dust/lint in a controlled and reproducible manner. Two samples, corresponding to commercial products with a low and high linting propensity, were tested using the proposed device and methodology, and the released particles were quantified and characterized. The device and methodology provided reproducible results for simulated consumer handling and product manufacturing scenarios. By changing the instrument's motor frequency, the force of agitation changes, mimicking/simulating consumer (60 strokes per min, spm) and producer/manufacturing (180 spm) handling scenarios (though manufacturing processes are much faster in practice). Particle counts at each level for each product showed reproducible values differentiable at different agitation levels. Adopting the proposed Tissue Dust Analysis System may help to characterize and understand the mechanisms behind dusting to create dust-control strategies that can alleviate this issue at its various sources or simply allow tissue paper manufacturers to compare and advertise their products based on dusting propensity.}, journal={CELLULOSE}, author={Frazier, Ryen and Zambrano, Franklin and Pawlak, Joel J. and Peszlen, Ilona and Welsford, David and Gonzalez, Ronalds}, year={2022}, month={Aug} }

 The effect of silvicultural treatments (herbicide, fertilization, herbicide + fertilization) and the interactions with genetic effects were investigated for wood quality traits in a 16-year-old loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) genetic test established in southwest Georgia, USA. Fertilizer and herbicide treatment combinations were applied multiple times to main plots containing 25 open-pollinated families as sub plots. Significant differences among treatments were found for all traits. Squared acoustic velocity, used as a surrogate for wood stiffness, was higher in herbicide-only plots compared with other treatments. Wood density was considerably lower in fertilization plots. A large proportion of variance observed for wood quality traits was explained by additive genetic effects, with individual-tree heritabilities ranging from 0.78 (ring 7–16 section wood density) to 0.28 (ring 2–6 section wood density). Corresponding family-mean heritability values were well over 0.86. Genotype-by-treatment interactions were nonsignificant for all traits, indicating no need to match families to silvicultural treatments. Wood quality traits had weak genetic correlations with growth and stem quality traits (stem slenderness, sweep, and branch angle) with a range of −0.33 to 0.43, suggesting that recurrent selection on growth or stem quality traits would not adversely affect wood quality in loblolly pine.}, number={5}, journal={FOREST SCIENCE}, publisher={Oxford University Press (OUP)}, author={Grans, Daniel and Isik, Fikret and Purnell, Robert C. and Peszlen, Ilona M. and McKeand, Steven E.}, year={2021}, month={Oct}, pages={564–573} }

The results showed that the transgenic P. trichocarpa samples had decreased storage and loss moduli compared with the wildtype. The solid-state NMR revealed increased lignin molecular mobility in the reduced-lignin transgenic lines. Also, noticeably reduced glass transition temperatures (Tg) were observed in the transgenic lines with reduced lignin contents and altered lignin monomer compositions compared with the wildtype.

            Laccases, as early as 1959, were proposed to catalyze the oxidative polymerization of monolignols. Genetic evidence in support of this hypothesis has been elusive due to functional redundancy of laccase genes. An
            Arabidopsis
            double mutant demonstrated the involvement of laccases in lignin biosynthesis. We previously identified a subset of laccase genes to be targets of a microRNA (miRNA) ptr-miR397a in
            Populus trichocarpa
            . To elucidate the roles of ptr-miR397a and its targets, we characterized the laccase gene family and identified 49 laccase gene models, of which 29 were predicted to be targets of ptr-miR397a. We overexpressed
            Ptr-MIR397a
            in transgenic
            P. trichocarpa
            . In each of all nine transgenic lines tested, 17
            PtrLAC
            s were down-regulated as analyzed by RNA-seq. Transgenic lines with severe reduction in the expression of these laccase genes resulted in an ∼40% decrease in the total laccase activity. Overexpression of
            Ptr-MIR397a
            in these transgenic lines also reduced lignin content, whereas levels of all monolignol biosynthetic gene transcripts remained unchanged. A hierarchical genetic regulatory network (GRN) built by a bottom-up graphic Gaussian model algorithm provides additional support for a role of ptr-miR397a as a negative regulator of laccases for lignin biosynthesis. Full transcriptome–based differential gene expression in the overexpressed transgenics and protein domain analyses implicate previously unidentified transcription factors and their targets in an extended hierarchical GRN including ptr-miR397a and laccases that coregulate lignin biosynthesis in wood formation. Ptr-miR397a, laccases, and other regulatory components of this network may provide additional strategies for genetic manipulation of lignin content.

In Europe, the exterior finish uses the External Thermal Insulation Composite System attached to a gypsum board sheathing. This study was performed to compare the hygrothermal performance of American and European walls by using a finite-element model. Analysis showed that the European wall has better thermal performance mainly because of the heat-insulating ability of the expanded polysterene (EPS) layer. But when the EPS was reduced to the same thickness as the siding used in American construction, the thermal performance of the European wall did not fare any better than the American structure. The resistance of the European wall to moisture damage was also better than the American walls. One reason for this is the high diffusion resistance of the EPS. But this same high diffusion resistance works to the detriment of an Exterior Insulation Finish System (EIFS) wall if water is able to infiltrate the structure. When water leakage is present, the water content of the OSB in the EIFS wall reaches levels that make it vulnerable to mold growth and fungal decay.}, journal={ENERGY AND BUILDINGS}, author={Pasztory, Zoltan and Peralta, Perry N. and Molnar, Sandor and Peszlen, Ilona}, year={2012}, month={Jun}, pages={142–147} }

The Arabidopsis mutant irx8 has a 60% reduction in xylan. However, over-expression of an ortholog of Arabidopsis IRX8, poplar PoGT8D, in Arabidopsis irx8 mutant could not restore xylan synthesis. The functions of tree GT8D genes remain unclear. We identified two GT8 gene homologs, PtrGT8D1 and PtrGT8D2, in Populus trichocarpa. They are the only two GT8D members and are abundantly and specifically expressed in the differentiating xylem of P. trichocarpa. PtrGT8D1 transcript abundance was >7 times that of PtrGT8D2. To elucidate the genetic function of GT8D in P. trichocarpa, the expression of PtrGT8D1 and PtrGT8D2 was simultaneously knocked down through RNAi. Four transgenic lines had 85-94% reduction in transcripts of PtrGT8D1 and PtrGT8D2, resulting in 29-36% reduction in stem wood xylan content. Xylan reduction had essentially no effect on cellulose quantity but caused an 11-25% increase in lignin. These transgenics exhibit a brittle wood phenotype, accompanied by increased vessel diameter and thinner fiber cell walls in stem xylem. Stem modulus of elasticity and modulus of rupture were reduced by 17-29% and 16-23%, respectively, and were positively correlated with xylan content but negatively correlated with lignin quantity. These results suggest that PtrGT8Ds play key roles in xylan biosynthesis in wood.

The aluminum–polyethylene sheets were effective in reflecting heat and reducing heat transfer by radiation. They also divided the air space in the insulation system, resulting in the reduction of convection currents and convection heat transfer. The heat insulation system was built without micro heat bridges.

In the redesign of trees to better serve industry needs, we believe that a focus on modifying genetic control of environmental responses can simultaneously improve total wood yield, tailor wood properties for different uses, and reduce the within tree variation in wood properties. To do that, we need much more understanding of environmental signals, the physiological processes they elicit, and the resulting changes in wood formation. We are studying two types of environmental interactions that we know have large impacts on wood yield, competition effects and responses to pest attack, to determine the corresponding impacts on wood properties. In wild trees, both of theses environmental factors cause a shift in allocation of photosynthate away from stem wood formation to stem height growth and/or replacement of shaded or damaged leaves. Concurrent changes in hormone levels within the tree may impact wood quality traits such as specific gravity and fiber length. We have started evaluating model systems to look at the magnitude of these effects. We discuss results from a spacing trial and an insect impact study in this paper.}, booktitle={Molecular Breeding of Woody Plants}, publisher={Elsevier}, author={Hall, Richard B. and Hart, E.R. and Peszlen, Ilona}, editor={Morohoshi, N. and Komamaine, A.Editors}, year={2001}, pages={229–238}, collection={Progress in Biotechnology} }

Six trees from each clone were sampled from plantations (aged 15 and 10 years) at two sites in Hungary. Disks were removed at breast height from each tree to study the effect of age on variation of anatomical properties. Along the eastern radius, vesscl and fibre parameters were measured for each growth ring using an image analyser.}, number={3}, journal={IAWA Journal}, publisher={Brill}, author={Peszlen, Ilona}, year={1994}, pages={311–321} }
