Cell walls, especially secondary cell walls (SCWs), maintain cell shape and reinforce wood, but their structure and shape can be altered in response to gravity. In hardwood trees, tension wood is formed along the upper side of a bending stem and contains wood fiber cells that have a gelatinous layer (G‐layer) inside the SCW. In a previous study, we generatednst/sndquadruple‐knockout aspens (Populus tremula × Populus tremuloides), in which SCW formation was impaired in 99% of the wood fiber cells. In the present study, we producednst/sndtriple‐knockout aspens, in which a large number of wood fibers had thinner SCWs than the wild type (WT) and some had no SCW. Because SCW layers are always formed prior to G‐layer deposition, thenst/sndmutants raise interesting questions of whether the mutants can form G‐layers without SCW and whether they can control their postures in response to changes in gravitational direction. Thenst/sndmutants and the WT plants showed growth eccentricity and vessel frequency reduction when grown on an incline, but the triple mutants recovered their upright growth only slightly, and the quadruple mutants were unable to maintain their postures. The mutants clearly showed that the G‐layers were formed in SCW‐containing wood fibers but not in those lacking the SCW. Our results indicate that SCWs are essential for G‐layer formation and posture control. Furthermore, each wood fiber cell may be able to recognize its cell wall developmental stage to initiate the formation of the G‐layer as a response to gravistimulation.
