The stems and roots of most dicot plants increase in diameter by radial growth, due to the
activity of secondary meristems. Two types of meristems function in secondary plant body …

The radial growth of plant stem is based on the development of cribro-vascular cambium
tissues. It affects the transport efficiency of water, mineral nutrients and photoassimilates …

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 …

Wood, biologically known as xylem, is one of the principal products of trees, yet our
knowledge of the. biological processes that occur in the cambial region is rudimentary …

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

Wood is the most abundant biomass produced by land plants and is mainly used for timber,
pulping, and paper making. Wood (secondary xylem) is derived from vascular cambium, and …

Secondary growth and wood formation are products of the vascular cambium, a lateral
meristem. Although the mechanisms have only recently begun to be uncovered …

Vascular tissue, comprising xylem and phloem, is responsible for the transport of water and
nutrients throughout the plant body. Such tissue is continually produced from stable …

The development of secondary vascular tissue enhances the transport capacity and
mechanical strength of plant bodies, while contributing a huge proportion of the world's …

The inflorescence stem of Arabidopsis thaliana is characterized by a wavy ring of lignified
fibers inward to the cortex. In young stems, primary fibers develop from the ground meristem …
