    Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL, Zürcherstrasse 111, 8903 Birmensdorf, Switzerland
    Plant Cell Environ 33:1351-60. 2010
    ..If this was a sign for C-storage depletion, an increasing mortality could be expected when stressors increase the need for carbohydrate for defence, repair or regeneration...
  3. ncbi Drought alters timing, quantity, and quality of wood formation in Scots pine
    Britta Eilmann
    Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL, Zürcherstrasse 111, 8903 Birmensdorf, Switzerland
    J Exp Bot 62:2763-71. 2011
    ..The significant shortening of the growth period in control trees indicated that the period where wood formation actually takes place can be much shorter under drought than the 'potential' period, meaning the phenological growth period...
