The objectives of this study were to analyze MOE, MOR, and the physical and anatomical properties of 2- to 3-yr-old field-grown transgenic Pinus taeda trees modified for increased density. This investigation consisted of a total of 55 sample trees in two separate experiments. Transgenic trees from sets OX41 and OX55, modified for increased density using two variants of the same HAP5 gene, exhibited higher mechanical properties with smaller stem diameter and tracheid lumen diameter than their set of control trees. In addition, set OX55 exhibited increased cell wall thickness. In the second experiment, the transgenic group WVK249, modified for higher density using an unrelated MYB gene, exhibited similar diameter growth and increased cell wall thickness and lower lumen/cell wall ratios but no change in mechanical properties compared with its control.}, number={2}, journal={WOOD AND FIBER SCIENCE}, author={Miller, Z.

Genetic modifications were cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD), cinnamate 3-hydroxylase (C3H), or cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (C4H), which resulted in modified lignin composition or content, and changed the syringyl-to-guaiacyl ratio. Comparing the genetic groups to the wild-type as the control, trees with reduced lignin content showed different results for vessel and fiber properties measured. Genetic groups with reduced PtrC3H3 and PtrC4H1&2 (with lower lignin content and higher S/G ratio than the control) exhibited splitting perpendicular to the rays, yet had the same fiber lumen diameter and the same fiber cell wall thickness as the control. Changes in lignin structure from modifications to PtrCAD resulted in reductions to the number of vessels, increases in vessel and fiber diameters, and had no consistent impact on stem diameter.}, number={3}, journal={BIORESOURCES}, author={Miller, Zachary D. and Peralta, Perry N. and Mitchell, Phil and Chiang, Vincent L. and Kelley, Stephen S. and Edmunds, Charles W. and Peszlen, Ilona M.}, year={2019}, month={Aug}, pages={5729–5746} } @article{mitchell_2019, title={Development of an Air Drying Index for Lumber}, volume={14}, ISSN={["1930-2126"]}, DOI={10.15376/biores.14.3.6657-6665}, abstractNote={Lumber is often air dried in an air drying yard prior to being placed in a dry kiln for final moisture content removal. The rate of the air drying process is dependent on local weather conditions and wood moisture content. Introduced more than 30 years ago, the Drying Index is a method to estimate the relative drying time using the difference in vapor pressures between the dry bulb and wet bulb temperatures. This paper extends its application and describes the development and use of an Air Drying Index to estimate the relative potential of a geographic location to air dry lumber based on the average monthly climate conditions for that location. The monthly Air Drying Index for 252 US locations is presented, and the annual mean for each location was used to develop an air drying map.}, number={3}, journal={BIORESOURCES}, author={Mitchell, Philip H.}, year={2019}, month={Aug}, pages={6657–6665} } @article{miller_peralta_mitchell_chiang_edmunds_peszlen_2018, title={Altered Lignin Content and Composition in Transgenic Populus trichocarpa Results in a Decrease of Modulus of Elasticity}, volume={13}, ISSN={["1930-2126"]}, DOI={10.15376/biores.13.4.7698-7708}, abstractNote={Transgenic Populus trichocarpa wood was compared to the corresponding wild-type material. The static modulus of elasticity in three-point bending was measured and the chemical composition among the specimens were compared, including the glucose, xylose, and lignin contents as well as the S/G ratio. Changes in chemical composition, created by genetic manipulations of the lignin biosynthetic pathway, affect the mechanical properties of young small-diameter transgenic trees. There are indications that a decrease in lignin content causes severe reductions in mechanical properties. Changes in lignin structure, either from an increased S/G ratio or structural lignin modifications, also negatively influence the mechanical properties.}, number={4}, journal={BIORESOURCES}, author={Miller, Zachary D. and Peralta, Perry N. and Mitchell, Phil and Chiang, Vincent L. and Edmunds, Charles W. and Peszlen, Ilona M.}, year={2018}, pages={7698–7708} } @article{mitchell_2018, title={Calculating the equilibrium moisture content for wood based on humidity measurements}, volume={13}, number={1}, journal={BioResources}, author={Mitchell, P.
