In this study, tung tree and linseed drying oils, as well as semi-drying hempseed oil, were analyzed as the protective coatings for biocomposite boards (BcB) made of hemp shives, corn starch binder, and the performance-enhancing additives. The hydrophobization coatings were formed at 40, 90, and 120 °C temperatures, respectively. The physical-mechanical properties such as the compressive strength, thermal conductivity, dimensional stability, water absorption, and swelling were tested. In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed for the analysis of the board microstructure to visualize the oil fills and impregnation in pores and voids. It was demonstrated that the compressive strength of oil-modified BcBs compared to uncoated BcBs (at 10% of relative deformation) increased by up to 4.5-fold and could reach up to 14 MPa, water absorption decreased up to 4-fold (from 1.34 to 0.37 kg/m2), swelling decreased up to 48% (from 8.20% to 4.26%), whereas the thermal conductivity remained unchanged with the thermal conductivity coefficient of around 0.085 W/m·K. Significant performance-enhancing properties were obtained due to the formation of a protective oil film when the tung tree oil was used.

AbstractTung tree (Vernicia fordii) is an economically important woody oil plant that produces tung oil containing a high proportion of eleostearic acid (∼80%). Here we report a high-quality, chromosome-scale tung tree genome sequence of 1.12 Gb with 28,422 predicted genes and over 73% repeat sequences. Tung tree genome was assembled by combining Illumina short reads, PacBio single-molecule real-time long reads and Hi-C sequencing data. Insertion time analysis revealed that the repeat-driven tung tree genome expansion might be due to long standing long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposon bursts and lack of efficient DNA deletion mechanisms. An electronic fluorescent pictographic (eFP) browser was generated based on genomic and RNA-seq data from 17 various tissues and developmental stages. We identified 88 nucleotide-binding site (NBS)-encoding resistance genes, of which 17 genes may help the tung tree resist the Fusarium wilt shortly after infection. A total of 651 oil-related genes were identified and 88 of them were predicted to be directly involved in tung oil biosynthesis. The fewer phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPC) genes, and synergistic effects between transcription factors and oil biosynthesis-related genes may contribute to high oil content in tung seeds. The tung tree genome should provide valuable resources for molecular breeding and genetic improvement.
