Profiles of the 200 and 004 reflection intensities and d004 lattice spacing along a sequence of tension wood development with the corresponding sample anatomy. A, Intensity in log scale of the 200 diffraction for five ranges of azimuth angle: a, 40° to 52°; b, 28° to 40°; c, 16° to 28°; d, 4° to 16°; e, 0° to 4°. A1 to A4 show examples of full 200 diffraction patterns at different distances from the cambium (170, 360, 510, and 660 μm, respectively). B, Intensity in log scale of the 004 diffraction. C, Lattice spacing (d004). B and C are given with distinctions between the contributions of microfibrils oriented at large angles (greater than 16°; red circles) and small angles (less than 16°; green squares). D, Cross-section of a portion of the tissue traversed by the beam from periphloem fibers to mature wood with differentiated G layer. D1 to D5 show details of fibers along the development sequence.
