(A) Transverse section of poplar differentiating xylem stained using the Mäule reaction. Top, debarking position; arrow head, boundary of annual ring; bar = 200 µm. (B) Fresh and dry weight of tangential sections prepared from blocks of poplar wood. Region P, phloem; C, cambium and cell expansion zone; X1, xylem formed in the present year; X2, xylem formed in the previous year. (C,D) Syringyl and guaiacyl monomer (C) and p-hydroxyphenyl monomer (D) yield by thioacidolysis. (E) Distribution of H/(G + S) ratio in the radial direction of poplar determined by thioacidolysis. Data are the mean ± SD (B, n = 6; C–E, n = 3).
