Contributions of bark and tension wood and role of the G-layer lignification in the gravitropic movements of 21 tropical tree species
Résumé
Gravitropic movements in angiosperm woody stems are achieved through the action of bark and/or wood motor, depending on the bark and wood fibre anatomy (with trellis structure or not; with G-layers or not). Bark motor is as efficient as wood motor to recover from tilting in young trees of 21 tropical species.
