Abstract
Wood (xylem) is a vascular tissue which occurs universally in gymnosperms (soft wood trees) and dicotyledonous angiosperms (hard wood trees). The wood consists of lignin and holocellulose. The former is a polymer consisting of repeat phenolpropane units and the latter consists of cellulose and hemicellulose. Hemicellulose is a mixture of pentosans, hexosans and polyuronides.
