COST ACTION E22: Environmental optimisation of wood protection<br />
Dr. Andreas Rapp<br />
• Durability of wood under typical conditions in EHC 3<br />
• Durability of different Larix sp. in ground<br />
• Biological variation within test-sites<br />
• Heat treatment e.g. oil-heat treatment<br />
• Monitoring of modified wood in service<br />
• Field performance of melamin resins<br />
• Hydrophobation of wood in EHC 3 using vegetable oils<br />

Research themes<br />
• Bioprotection of logs and lumber<br />
• Investigation and monitoring of sapstain fungi<br />
• Supervision of biocontrol field trials using Cartapip (colourless mutant of Ophiostoma<br />
piliferum) as antisapstain agent<br />
Aim: To develop monitoring strategies for Cartapip<br />
→ monitoring with classical cultivation techniques<br />
→ design of molecular markers targeting the beta-tubulin gene and their<br />
application on wood<br />
• Investigation of the genetic relatedness of Cartapip and Ophiostoma piliferum<br />
wild type strains to facilitate the registration of Cartapip as biocontrol agent<br />
→ Investigation of genetic variation of the ribosomal region, including ITS1and<br />
ITS2-region and the β-tubulin gene<br />
• Investigation of the natural sapstain fungi community in Germany<br />
