The molecular mechanisms of reaction wood induction
, 2014 Reaction wood originates from cambial activity which will adjust cell division activity, cell wall structure and properties, so that the resulting growth event will be the appropriate response to endogenous and environmental stimuli. When addressing the question of the induction of reaction woodformation, the physical parameters inducing reaction wood ...
