Abstract
Heartwood, serving as the central constituent of the xylem, plays a crucial role in the growth, development, and resilience of trees. The process of heartwood formation constitutes a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various factors. A thorough examination of the mechanisms underpinning heartwood formation not only enhances our understanding of the growth and developmental paradigms regulating trees but also provides essential theoretical support and practical insights for the timber industry, forestry management, and ecological conservation. This paper offers an overview of the foundational processes involved in heartwood formation in plants. Furthermore, it presents a comprehensive review of the latest research advancements in this domain, covering five key aspects: metabolism, hormonal regulation, transcriptional regulation, cell biology, and environmental influences. This review serves as a valuable basis for future research endeavors in related academic fields.
