Cellulose in Secondary Xylem of Cactaceae: Crystalline Composition and Anatomical Distribution. [PDF]
Abstract Cellulose is the main polymer that gives strength to the cell wall and consists of crystalline-microfibrils and amorphous-matrix cellulose located in the primary and secondary cell walls of the plants. In the Cactaceae family, there are studies on the composition of lignin but not on the crystallinity of cellulose.

A MYB-Related Transcriptional Module Cooperatively Represses Xylem Development in Poplar. [PDF]
ABSTRACT MYB transcription factors play crucial roles in regulating plant growth and development, but the functions of the MYB‐related subfamily in woody plants remain poorly understood. In this study, we characterized PagMYBR028, an MYB‐related transcription factor from poplar ‘84 K’ (Populus alba × Populus glandulosa), which was predominantly ...

Axial resin duct quantification in tree rings: A functional defense trait
Resin ducts in the secondary xylem of tree rings are a measure of a tree's defense capacity from insects and pathogens. Because resin ducts are permanently embedded within the xylem, retrospective analysis can be performed to quantify changes in defense ...

Stem anatomy at various developmental stages of secondary growth in Turbina corymbosa (Convolvulaceae) [PDF]
Background – Population growth of lianas in the tropical forest is credited to their ability of CO2 sequestration and efficiency of the narrow stems to supply water required for the amount of foliage it bears. Turbina corymbosa (L.) Raf.
