DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2019.02.036
Abstract: Abstract Shrubs can be found far above or beyond cold tree limits. However, the mechanisms shrubs employ to thrive at sites not allowing the development of trees remain poorly understood. We hypothesize that shrubs are… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract We studied the relation between xylem and leaf phenology, and how environmental factors can modify the growth rhythm of Quercus pyrenaica Willd. on the boundary of its northwestern distribution. For this, wood formation and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-03256-2
Abstract: Spatial organization of signalling events of the phytohormone auxin is fundamental for maintaining a dynamic transition from plant stem cells to differentiated descendants. The cambium, the stem cell niche mediating wood formation, fundamentally depends on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jxb/eraa558
Abstract: In conifers, xylogenesis produces during a growing season a very characteristic tree-ring structure: large thin-walled earlywood cells followed by narrow thick-walled latewood cells. Although many factors influence the dynamics of differentiation and the final dimensions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpy054
Abstract: In the last decade, the pervasive question of climate change impacts on forests has revived investigations on intra-annual dynamics of wood formation, involving disciplines such as plant ecology, tree physiology and dendrochronology. This resulted in… read more here.
