Diel growth dynamics in tree stems: linking anatomy and ecophysiology
K Steppe, F Sterck, A Deslauriers - Trends in plant science, 2015 - cell.com
Impacts of climate on stem growth in trees are studied in anatomical, ecophysiological, and
ecological disciplines, but an integrative framework to assess those impacts remains …

Tip‐to‐base xylem conduit widening as an adaptation: causes, consequences, and empirical priorities
In the stems of terrestrial vascular plants studied to date, the diameter of xylem water‐
conducting conduits D widens predictably with distance from the stem tip L approximating …

Kinetics of tracheid development explain conifer tree‐ring structure
Conifer tree rings are generally composed of large, thin‐walled cells of light earlywood
followed by narrow, thick‐walled cells of dense latewood. Yet, how wood formation …

Plant morpho evo-devo
Evo-devo is often thought of as being the study of which genes underlie which phenotypes.
However, evo-devo is much more than this, especially in plant science. In leaf scars along …

Distilling allometric and environmental information from time series of conduit size: the standardization issue and its relationship to tree hydraulic architecture
Trees are among the best natural archives of past environmental information. Xylem
anatomy preserves information related to tree allometry and ecophysiological performance …

Water potential control of turgor‐driven tracheid enlargement in Scots pine at its xeric distribution edge
The extent to which water availability can be used to predict the enlargement and final
dimensions of xylem conduits remains an open issue. We reconstructed the time course of …

Axial conduit widening in woody species: a still neglected anatomical pattern
Within a tree the lumen of the xylem conduits varies widely (by at least 1 order of
magnitude). Transversally in the stem conduits are smaller close to the pith and larger in the …

The physiological mechanisms behind the earlywood-to-latewood transition: a process-based modeling approach
In extratropical ecosystems, the growth of trees is cyclic, producing tree rings composed of
large-lumen and thin-walled cells (earlywood) alternating with narrow-lumen and thick …
