| Summary: | The anatomical properties of tension wood were investigated for number and diameter of vessel and its correlation with lignin composition. Reaction wood sample was taken from the leaning stem of mindi (Melia azedarach). The formation of tension wood reduced the number and size of vessel and, consequently, increased the proportion of fiber. Number and diameter of vessels positively correlated with lignin content. However, syringyl/guaiacyl ratio of lignin and erythro/threo ratio of β-O-4 structures were negatively correlated with number and diameter of vessels. It was confirmed that changes in the proportion of wood cell was an importance factor influencing the changes in chemical characteristic of tension wood lignin. |
