Tension wood is a tissue developed by angiosperms to upright or maintain their vertical position. This tissue generates a strong tensile stress able to curve the stem upwards. In the literature, tension wood anatomy is characterized by the presence of an unlignified gelatinous layer (G-layer) in the fibre cell wall. The aims of this thesis are to study the anatomical diversity of tension wood as well as the associated mechanisms of tensile stress generation and eventual variations of uprighting efficiency in order to understand how trees upright. This thesis relies on anatomical observations of 291 tropical species, on estimations of maturation strain on adult trees and on estimations of maturation strain on artificially tilted young trees ...
