Title Antinomic natural self protection mechanism in long lasting woods : a case study with three tropical species from French Guiana Type Conference Article
Year 2009 Publication IRG/WP Abbreviated Journal
Volume 09 Issue 10696 Pages
Keywords wood; natural durability; wood degradation; antifungal extractives
Abstract We demonstrate in this work through 3 examples that Amazonian trees may specialize long-lasting woods by means of at least to different approaches. Wallaba impregnates its wood with large amounts of weakly antifungal compounds acting in synergy, while tatajuba and louro vermelho woods are naturally impregnated with antifungal agents. Comparison of biological activities in vitro and concentrations in the woods indicate that these compounds alone may account for the natural durability of the two woods.
