The concept of cambium

  • Chapter
New Perspectives in Wood Anatomy

Part of the book series: Forestry Sciences ((FOSC,volume 1))

Summary

The cambium is a diverse and extensive meristem, even within a single plant. Thus, cambium is not easily defined. It is best comprehended as a concept, a generalised idea of what cambium should be. As a concept, the cambium must be treated either by developmental states or in some specific way in which it is manifested. It is noted that procambium is initiated in the embryo and perpetuated in the apical shoot. The residual meristem is discussed as a transitional tissue in which the forefront of the advancing procambial strands develop. The literature on the developmental states comprising the procambium→cambium continuum are comprehensively reviewed and discussed. Metacambium is proposed as an intermediate state between procambium and cambium. Recent attempts to define the cambial state both in terms of the meristem and its derivatives are discussed.
