Secondary xylem (wood) accounts for a large proportion of the terrestrial biomass. Understanding how secondary xylem develops and proliferates is a challenge to enhance our capacities for biomass production. Recent reports revealed that the plant hormone strigolactone is key for the development of secondary xylem. Here, I describe a protocol for strigolactone-mediated stimulation of secondary xylem proliferation in stems. The protocol has been tested in Arabidopsis and Eucalyptus and can be adjusted to other species.
次生木质部（木材）在陆地生物量中占很大比例。了解次生木质部如何发育和增殖是提高我们生物量生产能力的一项挑战。最近的报告显示，植物激素独脚金内酯是次生木质部发育的关键。在此，我描述了一种通过独脚金内酯介导刺激茎中次生木质部增殖的方法。该方法已在拟南芥和桉树中进行了测试，并且可以根据其他物种进行调整。
