Mechanisms of Cell-wall Growth in Secondary XYLEM

Authors

  • Frederick F. Wangaard

Abstract

Current concepts of the growth of the cell wall in secondary xylem are briefly reviewed. Following a description of the organization of the mature cell wall, its development is traced from initiation in the cambial zone to maturity. Multinet growth and various concepts concerning the origin of microfibrils are discussed.
