AbstractThe present study analyzes the composition of pine wood cultivated on artificial plantations in the Leningrad Oblast (Region). Comparing to pine wood from natural stands, a smaller heartwood zone along the height of the pine trunk and a lower content of resinous substances are noted. The content of cellulose and lignin in the heartwood and sapwood of pine is distributed differently along the trunk. The distribution of pentosans and water-soluble substances in the heartwood and sapwood along the trunk is associated with the lignin complex. The component composition of the studied pine wood from planted stands is quite uniform in its indicators if compared to the wood of older natural stands. Sulphate pulping of planted pine wood showed a higher yield of technical cellulose than the average yield from wood obtained at natural stands of the studied region.

AbstractInfluence of fungi on multiplication and distribution of the pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, was investigated in Pinus thunbergii cuttings. Axenized nematodes and/or one of two fungi isolated from healthy and PWN-killed P. thunbergii were inoculated together into autoclaved cuttings. A close relationship between the existence and distribution of fungal hyphae, and the multiplication and distribution of PWN was observed. The PWN did not multiply when only axenized nematodes were inoculated in the absence of fungi. When fungi were present, PWN population size increased markedly. The number of nematodes was high at sites where fungal hyphae were distributed. It is suggested that the restriction of a large portion of the nematode population near the inoculation site during the early stage of disease development is closely related to restricted distribution of fungal hyphae.
