Abstract
Wood is a very important byproduct, produced by different biological processes in tree. The teak and terminalia wood planks were artificially infected with white-rot causing fungi Trametes pini to know that these woods were resistant to this wood decay fungus. The decayed wood samples were studied anatomically by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The both woods were not resistant to this white-rot fungus. The light microscopic studies of teak wood decayed by T. pini showed the ability to degrade vessels, fiber cells, and ray cells completely and parenchyma cells partially. Selective delignification occurred in vessels and fiber cells. Simultaneous decay occurred in ray cells and fibers cells. The light microscopic studies of terminalia wood decay by T. pini showed complete degradation of vessels, fiber cells, and rays cells completely. The hyphae of T. pini enter in both ways to accumulate in lumen and cause degradation of lignin towards the cell wall. In advanced stages, all cell wall layers were degraded completely to create a gap. The ultrastructural studies revealed that T. pini was able to degrade vessels and fibers selectively and ray cells simultaneously. The selective and simultaneous decay of cells were observed within the same section in different cells of tea wood samples by T. pini.
