Stem gravitropism and tension wood formation in Acacia mangium seedlings inclined at various anglesDOI: 10.1093/aob/mcy056 Keywords: Acacia mangium, gelatinous layer, growth eccentricity, inclination angle, stem gravitropism, tension wood Abstract: In response to a gravitational stimulus, angiosperm trees generally form tension wood on the upper sides of leaning stems in order to reorientate the stems in the vertical direction. It is unclear whether the angle of inclination from the vertical affects tension wood formation. This study was designed to investigate negative gravitropism, tension wood formation and growth eccentricity in Acacia mangium seedlings inclined at different angles
