Cambial Age Influences PCD Gene Expression during Xylem Development and Heartwood Formation [PDF]
Heartwood formation is an important ontogenetic stage in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). The amount of heartwood determines the proportion of functionally active sapwood in the total trunk biomass as well as the quality of wood.
