Secondary growth from a vascular cambium, present today only in seed plants and
isoetalean lycophytes, has a 400‐million‐yr evolutionary history that involves considerably …

Evidence for secondary growth extends into the Early Devonian, 407 million years ago,
raising questions about tempo and mode of origination of this key developmental feature. To …

Secondary growth from vascular cambia results in radial, woody growth of stems. The
innovation of secondary vascular development during plant evolution allowed the …

Over centuries of plant morphological research, biologists have enthusiastically explored
how distinct vascular arrangements have diversified. These investigations have focused on …

Secondary phloem and xylem tissues are produced through the activity of vascular
cambium, the cylindrical secondary meristem which arises among the primary plant tissues …

Although it is well appreciated that genetic studies of flowering time regulation have led to
fundamental advances in the fields of molecular and developmental biology, the ways in …

Secondary growth is the developmental process by which woody plants grow radially. The
most complex presentations of secondary growth are found in lianas (woody vines) as a …

The evolution of woodiness was a key developmental innovation among land plants. It
permitted large changes in body-size, habit and functional complexity and influenced global …

Secondary growth in trees is an attractive system for explaining, through concerted research
into mRNA, proteomics, and cell biology, how eukaryotic cellular differentiation is regulated …

Secondary xylem and phloem originate from a lateral meristem called the vascular cambium
that consists of one to several layers of meristematic cells. Recent lineage tracing studies …
