This study examined the radial variations in element demensions of mongolian oak (Quercus mongolica.), elm (Ulmus japonica.), maackia(Maackia amurensis.), castor aralia (Kalopanax pictus.) from pith outwards. Disks were cut from the d.b.h.(above 1.2m) of each species and specimen for tangential pore diameters, fiber length, ray height and width were taken from 1-3rd, 5th, 10th, 15th.............40th ring number from pith. The tangential pore diameters in the earlywood increased rapidly near the pith and then maintained almost constant or very gradually increased diameters in about 20th-30th ring number from pith. In the latewood, tangential pore diameters gradually increased from pith to outwards though the increment is smaller than in early wood. Radial variations of ray height and width maintained almost constant, gradually increased or rapidly increased diameters and then maintained almost constant from pith to outwards. Patterns of radial variations in the fiber length were almost coincident with patterns of earlywood pore diameters, and of ray height or width in Ulmus japonica and Maackia amurensis.

Pinus koraiensis is one of the most important reforestation species which had widely been planted around the country. Therefore, there are great research needs on the fundamental properties of wood to extend the frequency of uses and adequate availabilities. Research results on the characteristics of anatomical wood properties and changes are summarized as follows: 1. At a horizontal direction of tree trunk, the tracheid length at outer wood gradually becomes shorter as it reaches to pith. The tracheid length having between 32 and 42 annual rings showed over 2.5 times longer than that of pith, and also its length increases from the bottom to the top of the stem. 2. The tracheid diameters in latewood showed a little fluctuations, and the shortest near to the pith in earlywood. The tracheid diameters in earlywood are more than 2 times those of latewood, and the differences between the mature and juvenile wood in earlywood are less than 10${\mu}m$. 3. The tracheid wall thickness in early wood showed a little fluctuations. On the contrary, tracheid wall thickness in latewood rapidly increases from the pith to the bark. The tracheid wall of mature wood showed 10 to 20% thicker than that of juvenile wood. 4. The fibril angle at the secondary walls of tracheid within an annual ring showed higher degree in earlywood than that of latewood. The highest tracheid fibril angle was observed at around the pith of both earlywood and latewood. Then, fibril angle slowly decreased toward outer wood, and was stabilized after 15 years. 5. Structural boundaries between mature and juvenile wood from Pinus koraiensis are divided by 13 to 19 annual ring and distance of 5 to 8cm from the pith.

Persimmon wood (Diospyros kaki) is a seasonal fruit-producing plant with a beautiful dark pattern in its wood that is suitable for high-quality furniture, sculptures and musical instruments. The utilization of persimmon wood can be improved by determining its anatomical characteristics, such as juvenile and mature wood. This study aimed to determine the boundaries between juvenile and mature wood and observe the anatomical properties of juvenile and mature wood and their variations in the axial direction. Three 30-year-old persimmon (D. kaki) trees grown in Karo, North Sumatra, Indonesia, were used in this study. The boundary between juvenile and mature wood was determined by measuring the fiber length and vessel element length from near the pith to near the bark. Anatomical observations were conducted in the juvenile and mature wood areas. The results showed that the average boundaries between juvenile and mature wood were 44.11 mm from the pith and were not significantly different in the axial direction of the trees. Furthermore, the wood anatomy categories of juvenile and mature wood differed significantly in terms of fiber diameter, fiber proportion, vessel proportion, and axial parenchyma proportion. In the axial direction, vessel diameter, ray parenchyma frequency, and ray parenchyma proportion at the base, middle, and top of the tree were significantly different.

Surveyed results on the slope of grain and the twist of sawn lumber of Pinus koraiensis, Larix leptolepis, and Pinus densiflora were summarized as follows: 1. The slope of grain of Pinus koraiensis has a Z-grain in the stem axis. The slope of grain was found to be the lowest at near to the pith and then constantly increased. At the height of 0.2m from the base of stem. a cross section of 35 annual rings was found to have a repeatedly increasing and decreasing slope of grain and then constantly decreased. At the height of 1.2m to 7.2m from the base of stem, the slope of grain increased conspicuously until the 10th annual ring, after which it increased near to the bark with repeatedly increasing and decreasing trends. 2. Pinus densiflora has a S-grain in the stem axis. The lowest slope of grain was found at near to the pith, and the highest in the 10 to 35 annual rings from the pith. 3. Larix leptolepis has a S-grain. At the height of 3.2m from the base of stem, the big fluctuation of the slope of grain was found without any particular trend. 4. The slope of grain and the twist between natural and reforested timber of Pinus koraiensis were found to be almost the same trend in viewpoint of the annual ring. The maximum slope of grain of imported Siberian timber of Pinus koraiensis was found at the 10 annual rings, which was quite similar to that of native species in Korea, but the big difference of the twist was found at 140 annual rings. 5. The twist was little at the mature wood of reforested Pinus koraiensis and Siberians and the duplicated part of mature and juvenile woods of those. On the contrary, the twist was great at the duplicated part of mature and juvenile woods of Pinus koraiensis. 6. The twist of Larix leptolepis showed the S-direction which coincided with that of slope of grain. The twist was greatest at the part of juvenile wood and little at the duplicated part of mature and juvenile woods, and little difference of twist was found between mature and juvenile woods. 7. Siberian larix having a minimum slope of grain showed the lowest twist, and the twist at the duplicated part of mature and juvenile woods showed a middle level of both mature and juvenile woods' portions.

An anatomical study was conducted in order to elucidate the development of primary and secondary ray in Robinia pseudoacacia L. The height of primary ray near pith decreases progressively toward periphery, while the width and number per unit area gradually increase, and then the height, width and number remain somewhat constant. Secondary ray originates from the segmentation of fusiform initials or division of the side or end of fusiform initials at the middle of the first growth layer. And after the height and width of secondary ray increases to some extent, it remains constantly.

In the present paper, we discribed distributions patterns of pits on the tracheids of Pinus koraiensis. The number of bordered pits on a tracheid is more numerous than that of cross-field pittings. And they appeared different in the number depending on the shape and size of tracheids. Both pit and cross-field pitting on a tracheid is fewer in number near the pith. The number of bordered pits on the tracheid increased rapidly from pith toward cambial zone but that of cross-field pittings increased gradually. The number of bordered pit and corss-field pitting is more frequent in the first-formed tracheid, and the number of bordered pit decreased rapidly from earlywood to latewood but that of corss-field pittings decreased gradually. Bordered pits on a tracheid are more numerous at the end of tracheids and cross-field pittings occur more frequently in the center part of a tracheid.

원판의 관행 열기건조시 잔적위치에 따른 건조속도(乾燥速度)의 차이는 심하였고, 원판의 직경이 변이가 클수록 건조속도(乾燥速度)의 변화기복도 심하였으나, 강압건조(減壓乾操)의 경우 건조속도(乾操速度)는 잔적위치와 원판 직경의 변이에 영향을 받지 않은 것이 확인되었다. 원판 내층(內層)의 접선방향 표면응력(表面應力)은 수종, 엔드래핑처리 및 직경생장부위(直徑生長部位)에 관계없이 미미한 압축응력(壓縮應力)을 나타냈고, 무처리 원판은 수(髓)로부터 6cm인 점을 임계점(臨界點)으로하여 수(髓) 부위쪽이 원주부(圓周部) 쪽보다 더 큰 압축응력(壓縮應力)을 나타내는 일계단상(一階段狀)의 분포모형을 보인 반면에, 한지 엔드래핑 원판은 균일한 분포모형을 나타냈는데, 이는 한지 엔드래핑의 경우 한지에 의한 표면수분 증발 억제효과로 심재와 변재부위간에 수분유동속도(水分流動速度)의 차이가 작았기 때문인 것으로 판단되며, 한지 엔드래핑은 내층(內層)의 압축응력(壓縮應力)을 억제하는 효과가 컸음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 수축이방법(收縮異方性)에 기인한 접선방향 응력은 원주선상에서 최대인장응력(最大引張應力)을 나타냈고, 수(髓)를 향할수록 점점 감소하여 수(髓) 근처에서 압축응력(壓縮應力)으로 전환되는 분포모형을 보였다. 건조종료시 오리나무, 호도나무 및 은행나무의 한지 엔드래핑 원판의 접선방향 최대인장응력(最大引張應力)은 무처리 원판보다 작았고, 한지 엔드래핑 원판의 V형 크랙발생 임계함수율(臨界含水率)도 무처리 원판에 비하여 더 낮게 나타났는데, 이것은 한지의 수분증발 억제효과에 따른 원판의 영구변형화(永久變形化)에 기인한 것으로 생각된다. 감압건조(減壓乾操) 응력분포시험(應力分布試驗)에서 V형 크랙은 한지(韓紙)와 알루미늄호일 엔드래핑 원판에서는 전혀 발생하지 않았고, 무처리 원판에서도 매우 경미하게 발생하였다. 또한 심재할열(心材割裂)도 오리나무와 호도나무의 한지(韓紙) 엔드래핑 원판에서는 전혀 발생하지 않았고, 기타의 원판에서도 그 발생 정도는 매우 경미하였다. 특히 한지는 물론 알루미늄호일 엔드래핑 원판의 감압건조(減壓乾燥)는 건조결함을 예방하는 데 효과적이었고, 더구나 은행나무는 110시간만에, 오리나무는272시간, 그리고 호두나무는 407시간만에 각각 이용함수율(利用含水率) 수준까지 건조가 가능하여, 건조시간이 크게 단축되었다.

To study the wood quality factors of Populus nigra $\times$ maxmowiczii known a rapidly growing species, the variations of green moisture contents, bulk density, wood fibre dimensions, microfibril angles, and number of leaf knot in stem wood were investigated. The heartwood contained a higher moisture content than the corresponding sapwood. Bulk density in radial patterns variations decrease outward from the pith, then increase toward the bark. The wood-fiber length and diameters had somewhat smaller values than on Populus alba $\times$ glandulosa or Populus euramericana. The microfibril angles decreased rapidly toward the outside, and their mean values were about 16 degree. The grain angles run nearly parallel to the cell axies. Number of leaf knot showed a fluctural change above ground level to a point near the base of the crown and then increased rapidly to the top of tree and average number of leaf knot varied exclusively from tree to tree.
