INCREASE IN GIRTH OF THE CAMBIUM IN THUJA OCCIDENTALS L.

Abstract: Studies of serial tangential sections of the secondary xylem indicated that increase in girth of the cambium was accomplished not by regulated divisions spaced merely to bring about the required increase in circumference, but by such rapid multiplication of initials as to produce a great superfluity if all survived. Owing to the rapid production of new initials and the associated high ratio of disappearance, the pattern of cells in the cambium changed quickly. This necessitated extensive intercellular adjustme… Show more

“…For his study, he used grand fir trees of larger dianleter (12-32 in. diameter at breast height (DBH)) than in this study, which would be expected t o have a wider canlbial zone and longer initials, consistent with the age changes discussed by Bailey (1920), Whalley (1950), andBannan (1960). Sisson (1971) also postulated that the number of cambial zone cells in the dornlant canlbiu~u is probably related t o tree vigor rather than t o aphid infestation.…”

“…The finding that large changes in cell inclination were associated with significant increases in the frequency of both radial anticlinal and pseudotransverse division indicates that both radial anticlinal divisions produce a pool of initials from which the cells most suited to reorient through the process of end creeping are selected. Similarly, Berlyn (1982) suggests that there is selection of the fittest from the surplus of initials known to be produced by the nonstoreyed cambium (Bannan 1950(Bannan , 1960Whalley 1950;Hejnowicz 1961;Evert 196 1;Cheadle and Esau 1964).…”

“…THE MOST intensive studies on the developmental changes in the vascular cambium associated with the increase in circumference of this meristem have been made on conifers (Whalley, 1950;Bannan, 1950Bannan, -1964Hejnowiez, 1961). On the other hand there have been few comprehensive studies on the dicotyledons.…”
