In 2020, the staff of the Plant Anatomy Laboratory focused, among other things, on analyzing a mathematical model involving the dynamics of symplastic growth of the initial cells of the vascular cambium. On the basis of mathematical calculations and anatomical observations, the conclusion was drawn that only symplastic growth affects the circumference of the cambium cylinder, which is the secondary meristematic tissue responsible for the growth in thickness of branches and stems of woody plants. Based on the mathematical model, own observations and analysis of literature sources, it was concluded that the old assumptions about the vascular cambium need to be revised, as some of them prevent a proper and complete understanding of the developmental events in it. The results of the analysis were sent to the journal The Botanical Review.
