Schematic of the three types of change in phloem fibres caused by stem inclination: (1) an increase in the proportion of syringyl units in lignin, (2) formation of gelatinous layers and (3) an increase in the number of layers in multi-layered structures. Parentheses after scientific names indicate the type of cell-wall structure in the tension wood fibres.
