Diurnal Differences in Secondary Cell Wall Formation of Conifer Tracheids Corresponding to Changes in Light Strength
Introduction The fundamental constituent of the wood in a tree is the highly developed cell wall formed by xylem cells. Xylem cell walls are classified as primary or secondary walls during the course of their development. Primary walls are the thin walls that form when differentiating cells elongate or enlarge, and secondary walls are the thick walls formed inside the primary wall after elongation and enlargement are completed. Secondary walls consist of cellulose microfibrils embedded in a lignin-hemicellulose matrix. In secondary walls, three layers can be differentiated based on the microfibril angles: the outer, middle, and inner layers (S1, S2, and S3, respectively). Elucidating the mechanism of cell wall formation is important for a more detailed understanding of wood structure and wood properties.
