Adjustment capacity of maritime pine cambial activity in drought-prone environments. [PDF]
Intra-annual density fluctuations (IADFs) are anatomical features formed in response to changes in the environmental conditions within the growing season.

The effects of throughfall exclusion on xylogenesis of balsam fir [PDF]
A 20-40% reduction in soil moisture is projected for the boreal forest of Eastern Canada for the period 2070-99 relative to 1971-2000. In order to better predict the effects of a reduced water supply on the growth of balsam fir (Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.), a dominant tree species of the boreal forest, we simulated 2 consecutive years of summer droughts

Phloem- and xylogenesis in Scots pine stems in the post-fire period [PDF]
The influence of natural ground fire of varying intensity on the growth processes in the stems of Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trees growing in the Krasnoyarsk forest-steppe was studied. The primary reaction is the decrease in the number of cells in

Molecular genetic markers of various PCD (programmed cell death) variants during xylo- and phloemogenesis have been identified for the first time in Scots pine under lingonberry pine forest conditions in Northwest Russia (middle taiga subzone).

Multi-scale influence of snowmelt on xylogenesis of black spruce [PDF]
Snowmelt is considered to affect growth of the boreal forest. So, we tested the hypothesis that late snowmelts delay the onset of xylogenesis and reduce xylem production in trees. Timings of xylem formation were compared to the dates of complete snowmelt

Generation and analysis of expressed sequence tags from six developing xylem libraries in D. Don [PDF]
Background Wood is a major renewable natural resource for the timber, fibre and bioenergy industry. Pinus radiata D. Don is the most important commercial plantation tree species in Australia and several other countries; however, genomic resources for ...

Xylogenesis in black spruce: does soil temperature matter? [PDF]
In boreal ecosystems, an increase in soil temperature can stimulate plant growth. However, cambium phenology in trees was better explained by air than soil temperature, which suggested that soil temperature is not the main limiting factor affecting xylogenesis.

We studied the seasonal dynamics of xylem and phloem formation in four boreal tree species that differed in leaf phenology (evergreen vs. winter-deciduous) and wood anatomy (angiosperms vs. gymnosperms).

Radial growth of trees can result in opposite wood (OW) and compression wood (CW) due to the varying impact of stem mechanical stress, such as that caused by gravity or wind.

Catechin is associated with several functions in animal and plant systems, with little information available regarding its role in plant growth. Low concentrations of catechin (50 and 100 μM) were found to enhance length of primary and lateral roots ...
