Abstract
The woods of the common ash, common elm and Scotch pine were divided into 3 fractions[long dash]cambium + differentiating xylem, newly formed wood and mature sapwood[long dash]and each fraction was analyzed. The composition of the cambium was found to be similar to that of other differentiating tissues especially in the high pectin and low lignin contents.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
