In the species that had gelatinous fibers large longitudinal tensile stresses appeared in the region where the cross-sectional area of gelatinous layers were large. In the species that had no gelatinous fibers the following relationships were observed a the smaller the microfibril angle the larger the longitudinal tensile stress b the larger the tensile stress the larger the a-cellulose content c tensile stress becomes larger as crystallinity increases and d tensile growth stress had no or a slightly negative correlation with lignin content. These results suggest that the high tensile longitudinal growth stress is mainly due to the tensile stresses of cellulose microfibrils as a bundle in their axial direction. Thus the microfibrils tension hypothesis can be applied to elucidate the growth stress generation in the region of normal and tension woods. growth stress tension wood gelatinous fiber microfibril I cellulose Resume Les contraintes de croissance dans le bois de tension.
