Researchers from the Biosciences Department at Durham University have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps plants control the formation of wood, a finding that could open new directions for research into plant growth, productivity and carbon storage. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals that two proteins on the surface of plant cells work together to regulate the cells that produce wood.
