Anatomical and Physiological Responses of Bark Tissues to Mechanical Injury

Studies of the defense systems of trees have focused mostly on xylem tissues because of their direct economic importance to the forest industry. Because bark tissues shield the xylem from the environment, containment of mechanical injuries and infectious microorganisms by bark tissues is of primary importance. The integrity of normal periderm and the ability of plants to form new periderms at wounds or injuries are essential characteristics for normal plant growth and development. However, in comparison with xylem tissues, responses of periderm and other bark tissues to injury and infection are inadequately defined.
