Growth promotion is distinct and occurs on the lower (abaxial) side of inclined branches in the manner common to gymnosperms. Neither compression wood nor tension wood was found either on the upper or on the lower side of the investigated branches. The cells of the wood to the lower side show some differences from those of the upper side. The lower-side tracheids are longer, wider, possess thicker walls and have a higher microfibril angle than those of the upper side. The lower-side rays are less high but wider (because of a greater number of larger cells) than those of the upper side. Citing Literature Volume65, Issue6July 1978Pages 601-607 RelatedInformation
