The Relationship Between Pit Membrane Ultrastructure and Chemical Impregnability of Wood
- A. Singh, B. Dawson, R. Franich, F. J. Cowan, J. Warnes
- Materials Science
- 1 July 1999
Summary The woods of Alder and Eucalypt were examined by light microscopy before and after a chemical treatment by the Indurite process to increase the hardness of the wood. The pattern of wood cell… Expand
Naturally occurring Fusarium toxins in New Zealand maize.
- H. Hussein, R. Franich, M. Baxter, I. G. Andrew
- Chemistry, Medicine

- 1989
Twenty samples of maize collected from healthy growing crops and at harvest time and during storage were screened for four Fusarium toxins (deoxynivalenol, diacetoxyscirpenol, T-2 toxin and… Expand
Effect of drying and rewetting of wood on cellulose molecular packing
Abstract Drying and rewetting of Pinus radiata sapwood latewood was studied by synchrotron wide angle X-ray scattering in transmission mode. Scattering from cellulose was interpreted in terms of… Expand
Induction of Dothistroma blight symptoms with dothistromin
- L. Shain, R. Franich
- Biology
- 1 July 1981
Dothistroma blight of Pinus radiata and other pine species, caused by Dothistroma pini , is characterized by red bands through necrotic lesions. The red color in these lesions is due to the… Expand
Synthesis and accumulation of benzoic acid in Pinus radiata needles in response to tissue injury by dothistromin, and correlation with resistance of P. radiata families to Dothistroma pini
- R. Franich, M. J. Carson, S. D. Carson
- Biology
- 1 March 1986
Within 5 days of the introduction of dothistromin into Pinus radiata needles, red band symptoms typical of those produced by Dothistroma pini appeared. When injected into needles From different… Expand
Mycotoxin production by Fusarium species isolated from New Zealand maize fields

- Biology, Medicine
- Mycopathologia
- 2004
Forty Fusarium isolates obtained from maize fields were screened for moniliformin production on maize kernels. Twelve isolates, including seven of F. subglutinans, were found to produce moniliformin… Expand
Fungistaxic effects of Pinus radiata needle epicuticular fatty and resin acids on Dothistroma pini
- R. Franich, P. Gadgil, L. Shain
- Biology
- 1 September 1983
Abstract Bioassays of selected fatty and resin acids using Dothistroma pini as test organism have shown that a long chain fatty acid (stearic), ω-hydroxy fatty acids and oxidized resin acids (7-keto,… Expand

- R. Franich, L. G. Wells, P. Holland
- Chemistry
- 1978
Abstract Epicuticular wax isolated from the cotyledons and primary needles of 10-week-old Pinus radiata seedlings is similar in composition and contains 86% neutral compounds, viz. alkyl esters (25%,… Expand

Volatile flavour constituents of feijoa (Feijoa sellowiana)—analysis of fruit flesh
- G. J. Shaw, J. Allen, M. K. Yates, R. Franich
- Chemistry
- 1990
The volatile flavour fraction from the flesh of ripe feijoa fruit (Feijoa sellowiana Berg cv Mammoth) has been isolated by high vacuum steam distillation and subsequent liquid-liquid extraction of… Expand
