Summary
The cambium is discussed and analysed in relation to hypotheses that consider the cambium to be a morphogenetic organiser and those that consider the cambium to be merely a cell maker that is entirely controlled by external influences. The question of whether the cambium is a single tier of initials or a multiseriate meristem is investigated in regard to its physiological and morphogenetic basis. The cambium undergoes three different types of cell divisions, viz. multiplicative, additive, and transformative. Multiplicative divisions result in new initials that enable the cambium to keep pace with the increase in girth of the stem while additive divisions are tangential-longitudinal divisions that give rise to xylem and phloem derivatives. Transformative divisions are those whereby the fusiform initial divides up to become a ray cell initial (or initials). These different types of division arise from altered planes of the mitotic spindle. The factors controlling these divisions are reviewed in relation to their space-time elements and their correlation of the overall growth pattern of the tree. The cambial stimulus and resulting morphogenetic domains are examined along with biophysical factors in relation to their effect on cambial activity, orientation and qualities of the cambial derivatives.
