In temperate regions the annual pattern of wood development is characterized by the
formation of radially narrow and thick walled latewood cells. This takes place at the later part …

The vascular cambium produces secondary xylem and phloem in plants and is responsible
for wood formation in forest trees. In this study we used a microscale mass-spectrometry …

Various aspects of wood formation have been linked to the action of auxin, eg cambial
activity, dormancy, secondary cell wall deposition and tension wood formation. The …

The current notion that hormonal level and cell response are clearly correlated has often
been challenged recently. During the period of cambial activity, auxin content seems to …

Seasonal changes in the total amount (measured as ng cm− 2) of endogenous indole-3-
acetic acid (IAA) and abscisic acid (ABA) in the cambial region of Pinus densiflora Sieb. et …

Gravistimulation of tree stems affects wood development by unilaterally inducing wood with
modified properties, called reaction wood. Commonly, it also stimulates cambial growth on …

Populus is presented as a model system for the study of wood formation (xylogenesis). The
formation of wood (secondary xylem) is an ordered developmental process involving cell …

The timing of cambial reactivation plays an important role in determination of the amount
and quality of wood and the environmental adaptivity of trees. Environmental factors, such …

Indole acetic acid (auxin) is a key regulator of wood formation, and an observed overlap
between auxin concentration gradient and developing secondary xylem cells has led to the …

Abstract Background and Aims Mediterranean trees have patterns of cambial activity with
one or more pauses per year, leading to intra-annual density fluctuations (IADFs) in tree …
