Mechanical characterisation of the developing cell wall layers of tension wood fibres by Atomic Force Microscopy

Trees generate mechanical stresses at periphery of stem and branches to improve their strength and to control the orientation of their axes. This key factor in the biomechanical design of trees, named “maturation stress”, occurs in wood fibres during cellular maturation when their secondary cell wal...
