Tracheid cross-sectional dimensions in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) – distributions and comparison with Norway spruce (Picea abies) [PDF]
Silva Fennica, 2009 Cell wall thickness and tracheid radial and tangential diameter are important characteristics in papermaking. These fibre cross-sectional dimensions affect paper properties such as light scattering, and tear and tensile indexes.

The phenotypic and genetic effects of drought-induced stress on wood specific conductivity and anatomical properties in white spruce seedlings, and relationships with growth and wood density [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Drought frequency and intensity are projected to increase with climate change, thus amplifying stress on forest trees. Resilience to drought implicates physiological traits such as xylem conductivity and wood anatomical traits, which are related to ...

Variation in Tracheid Dimensions of Conifer Xylem Reveals Evidence of Adaptation to Environmental Conditions [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Globally distributed extant conifer species must adapt to various environmental conditions, which would be reflected in their xylem structure, especially in the tracheid characteristics of earlywood and latewood.

Intra-annual fluctuation in morphology and microfibril angle of tracheids revealed by novel microscopy-based imaging. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Woody cells, such as tracheids, fibers, vessels, rays etc., have unique structural characteristics such as nano-scale ultrastructure represented by multilayers, microfibril angle (MFA), micro-scale anatomical properties and spatial arrangement ...

Divergent selection predating the Last Glacial Maximum mainly acted on macro‐phenotypes in Norway spruce [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 The current distribution and population structure of many species were, to a large extent, shaped by cycles of isolation in glacial refugia and subsequent population expansions.

Callose in compression wood tracheids
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2015 A study of 20 gymnospermous species has shown that in most of them callose occurs in the helical checks of the S2 layer of cell walls in the compression wood tracheids. It is suggested that owing to its swelling properties callose plays a part in the longitudinal extension of compression wood.

RAPTOR: Row and position tracheid organizer in R
Dendrochronologia, 2018 Abstract Mechanistic understanding of tree-ring formation and its modelling requires a cellular-based and spatially organized characterization of a tree ring, moving from whole rings, to intra-annual growth zones and individual cells. A tracheidogram is a radial profile of conifer anatomical features, such as lumen area and cell wall thickness, of ...
