- Angiosperms VI Secondary Growth In Stems
- Slide 2
- What is secondary growth? Growth in girth of woody plants
Tissues derived from cambial layers VASCULAR CAMBIUM produces
secondary xylem and secondary phloem CORK CAMBIUM (phellogen)
produces cork (phellem) and phelloderm tissues
- Slide 3
- Typical Woody Eudicot Stem (overview) Periderm or bark Vascular
cambium Secondary xylem Pith
- Slide 4
- Woody Eudicot Stem
- Slide 5
- Typical Woody Eudicot Stem (detail) Secondary xylem Vascular
cambium Rays Secondary phloem (including phloem fibers) Cortex
- Slide 6
- Secondary Xylem (angiosperms) Vessels Fibers and tracheids Wood
rays Growth rings (annual rings)
- Slide 7
- Secondary Xylem (up close and personal) Fibers Tracheids
Vessels Ray parenchyma
- Slide 8
- Growth Rings Spring (Early) Wood first cells produced by the
vascular cambium large cells (good growing conditions) Summer
(Late) Wood smaller cells produced toward the end of the growing
season poor conditions (cooler, drier) Radical change in cell size
allows for recognition of annual growth rings
- Slide 9
- Bristlecone Pine (oldest of tree species in North America) 4900
+ years old
- Slide 10
- Oak Wood in Section Note: thick, multiseriate wood rays
- Slide 11
- Other Variations Heartwood darker in color occupies center of
the stem, more dense (stronger) deposit of waste products such as
resins, gums, oils, and tannins Sapwood lighter in color outer
layers, less dense (weaker) contains the sap (dissolved nutrients
and water)
- Slide 12
- Woody Stem and Periderm sapwood heartwood
- Slide 13
- Woody Twigs Terminal bud with bud scales Axillary buds
Lenticels Leaf scar
- Slide 14
- Twig Structures
- Slide 15
- Lenticels Pores in the cork layers which allow for gas exchange
in the periderm
- Slide 16
- Uses of Secondary Growth Wood Products Various uses based on
the density of the wood (often in lbs./cubic foot) Furniture,
baseball bats, plywood, pulp products, musical instruments,
particle board, artistic pieces, fuel Other Products rope,
cinnamon, dyes, drugs (quinine), charcoal, cork, maple syrup
- Slide 17
- Cork Harvesting
- Slide 18
- Making Maple Syrup 30-50 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of
syrup
