The phloem in many trees is confined to a narrow layer near the periphery, so that it is possible to cut this channel completely by removing a narrow strip of tissue from the outside of the stem ...

Vascular cambium produces xylem (wood) and phloem, and together with the cork cambium ... and microscopy with molecular genetics to understand growth dynamics of the stem cells of the vascular cambium ...

We study genes that contribute to cell division activity in vascular cambium, the meristem between xylem (wood) and phloem. Understanding the regulation of the cambium activity enhancing factors might ...
