The vascular cambium, a lateral meristem responsible for the radical growth of woody plants, has long been a subject for active research in both temperate and tropical regions. This work provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the vascular cambium and represents an up-to-date review of the knowledge accumulated over the last twenty years. Chapters cover origin and development of cambial cells, phenomena of orientation in the cambium, seasonal and environmental influences on cambial activity. There is also a discussion of the evolution of the cambium in geologic time.

The book will describe the xylem structure of different plant groups, and will put the findings in a physiological and ecological context. For instance, when differences in vessel diameter are featured, then there will be an explanation why this matters for water transport efficiency and safety from cavitation. The focus is on the hydraulic function of xylem, although mechanical support and storage will also be covered. Featured plant groups include ferns (which only have primary xylem), conifers (tracheid-based xylem), lianas (extremely wide and long vessels), drought-adapted shrubs as well as the model systems poplar and grapevine. The book chapters will draw on the expertise and cutting edge research of a diversified group of internationally known researchers working in different anatomical and physiological sub-disciplines. Over the last two decades, much progress has been made in understanding how xylem structure relates to plant function. Implications for other timely topics such as drought-induced forest dieback or the regulation of plant biomass production will be discussed.

Secondary growth results from cell division and differentiation in the vascular cambium and gives rise to secondary xylem and phloem. Xylem of trees, commonly referred to as wood, is an important carbon source used for woody materials and industrial purposes such as timber, pulp, furniture, fibers, and also as a energy source. Although abundant data has been collected to address the genetic control of cambial activity and differentiation, the mechanism behind is still little known. The Arabidopsis hypocotyl has previously been shown to be a suitable model for secondary growth and xylem differentiation similar as it occurs in angiosperm trees. Plant development requires a tightly controlled balance between undifferentiated dividing cells and cells, which are subjected to undergo differentiation. In the shoot apical meristem of Arabidopsis, this process is governed by a complex signaling network involving several classes of transcription factors, which are often expressed in highly distinct patterns. Key-players of differentiation control are the KNOX genes (Knotted-1 like genes; e.g. KNAT1, KNAT2, STM), which comprise a small gene family with eight members in Arabidopsis thaliana. This project was aimed to investigate the role of KNOX genes in secondary growth and differentiation of xylem using the Arabidopsis hypocotyl as a model. T-DNA insertion mutants for all Arabidopsis KNOX genes were isolated. Mutants of stm and knat1 showed reduced xylem diameter and xylem fiber formation. The double mutant stm-GK;knat1bp-9 had a strongly enhanced phenotype. STM and KNAT1 were expressed in the cambial zone and their expression was not dependent on each other. Taken together this shows that STM and KNAT1 have overlapping function and act synergistically on cambial activity and differentiation of xylem derivates. Neither constitutive nor inducible overexpression of KNAT1 led to overproduction of xylem. Moreover, overexpression of KNAT1 could not complement the effects of stm-GK on xylem formation. This points to a requirement of optimal concentration for both genes, as it is often observed for physically interacting proteins. KNAT1 and STM function are required for ATHB-8 expression, a marker of early vascularization, in early xylem fiber derivates. CyclinB1;1::GUS, a cell divison reporter, showed that parenchymatic cells, which occurred instead of xylem fibers are no longer mitotically active. Hence, they are blocked in an early step of differentiation.

The cambium has been variously defined as follows: "The actively dividing layer of cells that lies between, and gives rise to, secondary xylem and phloem (vascular cambium)" (IAWA 1964); "A meristem with products of periclinal divisions commonly contributed in two directions and arranged in radial files. Term pre ferably applied only to the two lateral meristems, the vascular cambium and cork cambium, or phellogen" (Esau 1977); and, "Lateral meristem in vascular plants which produces secondary xylem, secondary phloem, and parenchyma, usually in radial rows; it consists of one layer of initials and their undifferentiated deriva tives" (Little and Jones 1980). Clearly, the cambium is a diverse and extensive meristem, and no one defini tion will encompass all manifestations of what anatomists consider cambium. Its diversity and extent are further exemplified by a single plant, such as a temperate zone tree, in which procambium is initiated in the embryo and perpetuated throughout every lateral, primary meristem before giving rise to cambium in the secondary body. The cambium thereafter performs its meristematic task of producing daughter cells that differentiate to specialized tissue systems. The cam bium, however, does not remain static. Its derivatives vary either in form, or TImc tion, or rate of production at different positions on the tree, with age of the tree, and with season of the year. Moreover, the cambium responds both to internal sig nals and to external stimuli such as environment or wounding.

A plant anatomy textbook unlike any other on the market today. Carol A. Peterson described the first edition as 'the best book on the subject of plant anatomy since the texts of Esau'. Traditional plant anatomy texts include primarily descriptive aspects of structure, this book not only provides a comprehensive coverage of plant structure, but also introduces aspects of the mechanisms of development, especially the genetic and hormonal controls, and the roles of plasmodesmata and the cytoskeleton. The evolution of plant structure and the relationship between structure and function are also discussed throughout. Includes extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter. It provides students with an introduction to many of the exciting, contemporary areas at the forefront of research in the development of plant structure and prepares them for future roles in teaching and research in plant anatomy.

Intended as a text for upper-division undergraduates, graduate students and as a potential reference, this broad-scoped resource is extensive in its educational appeal by providing a new concept-based organization with end-of-chapter literature references, self-quizzes, and illustration interpretation. The concept-based, pedagogical approach, in contrast to the classic discipline-based approach, was specifically chosen to make the teaching and learning of plant anatomy more accessible for students. In addition, for instructors whose backgrounds may not primarily be plant anatomy, the features noted above are designed to provide sufficient reference material for organization and class presentation. This text is unique in the extensive use of over 1150 high-resolution color micrographs, color diagrams and scanning electron micrographs. Another feature is frequent side-boxes that highlight the relationship of plant anatomy to specialized investigations in plant molecular biology, classical investigations, functional activities, and research in forestry, environmental studies and genetics, as well as other fields. Each of the 19 richly-illustrated chapters has an abstract, a list of keywords, an introduction, a text body consisting of 10 to 20 concept-based sections, and a list of references and additional readings. At the end of each chapter, the instructor and student will find a section-by-section concept review, concept connections, concept assessment (10 multiple-choice questions), and concept applications. Answers to the assessment material are found in an appendix. An index and a glossary with over 700 defined terms complete the volume.
