BROWN, CLAUD L. (U. Georgia, Athens), and KARL SAX. The influence of pressure on the differentiation of secondary tissues. Amer. Jour. Bot. 49(7): 683-691. Illus. 1962.-When longitudinal bark strips of Populus trichocarpa and Pinus strobus are separated from the bole wood during early spring and maintained in a humid environment while attached to the parent tree, the cambial zone along the inner surface of the segments rapidly proliferates producing an extensive parenchymatous callus. Subsequently, a new phellogen and cambium differentiate and extend tangentially around the outer periphery of the callus pad, this resulting in the formation of a new stem-like structure. Whenever bark strips are separated from the bole wood by a layer of polyethylene plastic film and held firmly against the tree by externally applied pressure, the cambium continues to function normally, setting aside derivatives which differentiate and mature into normal, elongate xylary and phloic elements. The importance of mutual pressures and spatial relationships in controlling patterns of differentiation in secondary tissues is clearly demonstrated. THE MANY complex phenomena associated with the differentiation and maturation of cells and tissues in higher plants constitute a most fascinating and fertile area of experimental research. It is not surprising that much current research in morphoand histogenesis centers around the general area of apical meristems because, ultimately, it is here that complete control is exercised over the entire sequence of developmental events in the higher plant. It is rather odd, however, that so few workers have recognized lateral meristems as material par excellence for various experimental approaches to other problems of histogenesis. Perhaps this is because many view the vascular cambia of woody species only as a meristematic zone, where orderly cell divisions produce a more or less stereotyped pattern of xylem and phloem inherently peculiar to a given species. Obviously the biological mechanisms controlling cellular differentiation and maturation at this level are no less dynamic than those occurring elsewhere in the intact plant. Although a large body of literature is available on the physiology of cambial activity per se, little is actually known about specific mechanisms controlling the pattern of histological development in secondary tissues. Some of the most pertinent, yet indirect, work in this general area is that concerned with the healing of tissues around wounds and more specifically *to the insitu regeneration of tissues from the xylem side of the cambium on plants subjected to various surgical treatments. Of these, the work of Sharples and Gunnery (1933) on the formation of callus and regeneration of secondary tissues in several I Received for publication May 10, 1961. woody species is of special interest, as are also the more recent anatomical observations of Soe (1959) on the ancient practice of scoring trees to increase fruit or seed production. The present study describes the observed pattern of tissue differentiation in bark segments in which the vascular cambium is: (1) released from apparent pressure and normal spatial relationships; or (2) maintained under different amounts of externally applied pressure. MATERIALS AND METHODS-Forty-five vigorous, 5-year-old seedling trees of northern black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa Torr. and Gray) were selected for treatment from among numerous seed sources in an experimental plantation established by the Cabot Foundation of Harvard University near Weston, Massachusetts. In addition, 35 white pine (Pinus strobus L.) seedlings ranging from 3 to 5 years of age and growing in adjacent blocks were selected for experimental use. The experimental treatments were initiated in early May during the period of active shoot elongation when the cambium of individual trees was exceedingly active. The surgical techniques used were simple. Two parallel, longitudinal incisions, approximately 8.0 cm in length and 1.5 cm apart, were made with a sharp grafting knife through the bark into the xylem at breast height. The basal portion of the bark strip was severed transversely and carefully lifted outward from the bole as shown in Fig. 1. The bark strips were left attached at the acropetal end to provide nourishment, and, upon separation from the bole, were immediately encased in a small, thin-gauge, polyethylene bag to prevent desiccation. Thus the strips were maintained in a humid environment and in an atmosphere which permitted gas AMERICAN JOURNAL OF BOTANY, Vol. 49, No. 7, 1962 [The Journal for July (49: 547-682) was issued July 18, 1962]
