Abstract
TENSION wood in dicotyledonous trees and shrubs is recognized by the presence of gelatinous fibres. These fibres have an inner layer, composed almost entirely of cellulose (the G-layer), which may replace either the S3 or both the S3 and S2 layers of the secondary wall of the fibres. In some instances the G-layer may occur in addition to the S2 and S3 layers of the fibre wall. In transverse sections the G-layer may commonly be seen to have pulled away from the remainder of the wall on one side.
