Characterization of physiological functions of sapwood IV: Formation and accumulation of lignans in sapwood of Cryptomeria japonica (L.f.) D. Don after felling

Keywords: Cryptomeria japonica, heartwood extractives, lignan, matairesinol, sapwood, pinoresinol

Matairesinol and pinoresinol were isolated from sugisapwood 40 days after felling. These lignans were not detected in the heartwood. Accordingly, they are probably the result of post-mortem biosynthesis in sapwood parenchyma cells.
