In trees,stem secondary growth depends on vascular cambium proliferation activity and subsequent cell differentiation,in which an auxin concentration gradient across the cambium area plays a crucial role in regulating...
Secondary stem growth develops different cambial variants in Convolvulaceae. Here, the cambial variant features of 17 species in seven genera (Convolvulaceae) in Taiwan are presented. The xylem rings produce various s...
