7. The parenchyma cells formed in the xylem as a result of such stimulation greatly increase in size the year following their formation, and the rapid growth of the knot at this time is due largely to ...

Our group is studying the development of vascular cambium by using Arabidopsis thaliana root as a model. Vascular cambium produces xylem (wood) and phloem, and together with the cork cambium, which ...

The center of a tree or shrub stem (from roots to trunk, branches, and twigs) is woody, composed of xylem cells that conduct water from the roots to the upper parts of the tree. That woody section is ...

We focus on genes that regulate various aspects of wood development. We study genes that contribute to cell division activity in vascular cambium, the meristem between xylem (wood) and phloem.
