Background: We studied which regulated superoxide radical / hydrogen peroxide ratio together with peroxidase (POD) activity and genes expression under different ways of apical meristem development during the xylem structural elements' formation in unique woody plants var. pendula with straight-grained wood and var. carelica with figured wood. The differentiation process predominanced in straight-grained wood ( var. ) or proliferation - in the figured wood. The investigation was conducted in the radial row (cambial zone - differentiating xylem - mature xylem) during the active cambial growth period.
Objective: The study aimed to study the xylogenesis processes occurring in the 16-year-old straight-grained silver birch ( Roth) and Karelian birch ( Roth var. carelica (Mercl.) Hämet-Ahti) with figured wood.
Methods: Hydrogen peroxide and superoxide radical contents and peroxidase activity were determined spectrophotometrically. Gene expression for family genes and the gene was assessed using qRT-PCR.
Results: Principal component analysis has confirmed trees with straight-grained and figured wood to be different according to UPBEAT1-ROS-POD- system functioning.
Conclusion: The higher superoxide radical/hydrogen peroxide ratio in figured Karelian birch, along with transcription factor and genes upregulation, distinguished it from straight-grained silver birch. This metabolic picture confirmed the shift of Karelian birch xylogenesis towards proliferation processes, accompanied by ROS and phenolic compounds' flow and POD activity.

Logging in mature stands where part of the forest is harvested in one or several cuts and part is retained (clearcutting and alternate strip cutting) results in the formation of an ecotone complex (EC), which includes a forest (F) zone, a forest edge (FE) as a transition from the forest to the clear-cut under the canopy, a clear-cut edge (CE) as a transition from the forest to the clear-cut outside of the canopy, and the clear-cut proper (C).

Curly (Karelian) birch is a special variety of Betula pendula Roth distributed in the northwestern part of Europe. Karelian birch is well-known for its valuable figured curly wood also known as "wooden marble". The genetic basis underlying curly wood formation has been debated since last century, however, there was no data about loci responsible for the curly wood trait.

Background: AOS enzymes can be biochemical indicators of abnormal xylogenesis in Scots pine, and this mechanism has similar features with the metabolic base of abnormal xylogenesis in Karelian birch.
Objective: AOS enzymes' activity in 150-300-year-old L. wood with straight-- grained wood and right-twisted spiral-grained wood, expressed in varying degrees (5-20 angle), grew in three sample plots in lingonberry and blueberry pine forest stands of different ages (100-300 years) in the middle taiga subzone in the Republic of Karelia.
