Cambial derivatives differentiating as xylem fibres characteristically increase in length by
intrusive growth. Radial expansion of contiguous cells is required for this intrusive growth …

Trees, shrubs, lianas and herbs have widely different mechanical architectures, which can
also vary phenotypically with the environment. This review investigates how environmental …

The vascular cambium, to use the term in the general sense as designation for the entire
meristem producing secondary xylem and phloem, consists of the self-perpetuating …

Abstract “Anomalous secondary growth” is the term under which have been grouped
cambial conformations, cambial products, and cambial numbers which differ from the most …

The reaction anatomy of 14 species of Acacia, Lagunaria pattersoni, and the woody
monocotyledons Dracaena fragrans and D. marginata was examined with light, polarizing …

At the peak of its activity, the cambial zone comprises several layers of undifferentiated,
apparently identical cells. In order to find criteria indicating the commitment of cambial cells …

Xylem fibers are highly elongated cells that are key constituents of wood, play major
physiological roles in plants, comprise an important terrestrial carbon reservoir, and thus …

Two annual sheaths of xylem were studied in 25-year-old Pinus resinosa Ait. growing under
three experimental conditions (irrigation, imposed drought, and removal of buds) supposed …

An experimental test was made of Bünning's (1965) hypothesis that the tangential spacing of
the rays is determined by mutual inhibitory effects of the ray initials. Partial girdles of trunks …

A simple terminology is proposed to define the stages of secondary xylem and phloem
development in trees:(1) the cambial zone, composed of immediate derivatives of the …
