Regulation and control of the formation of wood and cell walls in trees under climatic stress and in the tropics as well as in genetically modified trees
Project
Project code: vTI-HTB-08-1.1
Contract period: 01.01.1998
- 01.12.2009
Purpose of research: Applied research
Tree-line ecotones in Scandinavia and in Alpine regions are vulnerable ecosystems where trees respond highly sensitive to climate variations. By means of weekly or bi-weekly wounding of the cambium (?pinning? technique) during the vegetation period, histologically visible tissue modifications are induced enabling the determination of onset, intensity and end of wood formation, but also aspects of cell wall quality. The results will be made available for the development of scenario simulations related on expected future climate change.
