Secondary Xylem Biology: Origins, Functions, and Applications provides readers with many lenses from which to understand the whole scope and breadth of secondary xylem. The book builds on a basic comprehension of xylem structure and development before delving into other important issues such as fungal and bacterial degradation and biofuel conversion.

Chapters are written by recognized experts who have in-depth knowledge of their specific areas of expertise. It is a single information source containing high quality content, information, and knowledge related to the understanding of biology in woody plants and their applications.

Reviews for Secondary Xylem Biology: Origins, Functions, and Applications

"""...better and more practical than an umbrella textbook…definitely recommended because it covers so much recent literature and discusses topics otherwise not covered in book form."" --The Botanical Review"
