Wood formation in Angiosperms [PDF]
Comptes Rendus. Biologies, 2010 Wood formation is a complex biological process, involving five major developmental steps, including (1) cell division from a secondary meristem called the vascular cambium, (2) cell expansion (cell elongation and radial enlargement), (3) secondary cell wall deposition, (4) programmed cell death, and (5) heartwood formation. Thanks to the development of

A Small Guanosine Triphosphate Binding Protein PagRabE1b Promotes Xylem Development in Poplar
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Rab GTPases are the subfamily of the small guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins which participated in the regulation of various biological processes. Recent studies have found that plant Rabs play some specific functions.

Tree Growth Under Climate Change: Evidence From Xylogenesis Timings and Kinetics
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Tree growth is one of the most studied aspects of tree biology, particularly secondary growth. In the Mediterranean region, cambial activity is mostly determined by water availability.
