| Research Abstract |
DC high voltage pulse was applied to tree cambium to develop an effective cambial marking method for estimating tree growth of ring-less tropical trees. In addition, bio-impedance of tree cambium was also monitored for estimating seasonal changes of cambial activity. Temperate tree species formed abnormal cells and tissues by treating 300-500 v. The degree of abnormal tissue formation was different by species, but common features were observed as follows: (1) formation of thick-walled vessel element and wood fibers, (2) increase in tangential row of ray cells, and formation of abnormal-shaped ray parenchyma cells, and (3) formation of colored-substances in parenchyma cells. The value of impedance showed seasonal changes, probably reflecting the difference of cambial activity.
