Xylemische
Xylemische refers to a group of chemical compounds that are derived from or associated with xylem, the water-conducting tissue in plants. These compounds can encompass a wide range of substances, including lignins, tannins, resins, extractives, and various secondary metabolites that are deposited within or secreted by xylem cells. The composition of xylemische compounds is highly variable, depending on the plant species, its age, environmental conditions, and specific plant part.
Lignin, a complex polymer that provides structural support and rigidity to xylem, is a prominent example of
The study of xylemische compounds is important in various fields. In forestry and wood science, understanding
