Woody plants are characterised by a highly complex vascular system, wherein the
secondary xylem (wood) is responsible for the axial transport of water and various …

Main conclusion Riboside type cytokinins are key components in cytokinin metabolism,
transport, and sensitivity, making them important functional signals in plant growth and …

Background Vessel‐associated cells (VAC s) are highly specialized, living parenchyma cells
that are in direct contact with water‐conducting, dead vessels. The contact may be sparse or …

A comparative transcriptomic study and a single-cell metabolome analysis were combined
to determine whether parenchymal ray cells contribute to the biosynthesis of monolignols in …

To understand the changes in radiocesium (137 Cs) concentrations in stem woods after the
Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident, we investigated 137 Cs …

The abundance of living cells in wood—mainly as interconnected axial and ray parenchyma
networks—varies widely between species. However, the functional significance of this …

The radial movement of minerals in tree trunks is a widely accepted function of ray
parenchyma cells, but there is little experimental evidence for this. We previously obtained …

Terminology plays a crucial role in describing and understanding the morphologicaland
anatomical variation in living organisms. The huge diversity in plant species andtheir many …

This study describes the seasonal changes in cell-to-cell transport in three selected
angiosperm tree species, Acer pseudoplatanus (maple), Fraxinus excelsior (ash), and …

This paper deals with the spatial distribution of heartwood in Scots pine stems (Pinus
sylvestris L.), determined on the basis of the absence of nuclei in parenchyma cells …
