| Course description |
| Wood is one of the most important sustainable resources. I will make a lecture concerning the mechanism of wood formation under different environmental conditions. |
| Expected Learning |
|
Mechanism of wood formation, in particular mechanism of cambial activity, xylem differentiation, cell wall formation, cell death and reaction wood formation in trees. In addition, the methods of visualization of information of plants will be presented. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps.
