- Analyses were performed in duplicate on each of the 12 radiata trees that developed epicormic shoots and were used as the plant material source.
- In some species these buds can persist for years and even decades, but with damage or altered environmental conditions, hormonal changes can induce the development of the epicormic buds into new branches.
- These buds may have developed into plagiotropic branches or orthotropic epicormic shoots.
