枫香树次生生长过程自然条件下不产生树脂道，只有受外界的机械损伤、化学作用等条件刺激才产生。其形成的部位为当年的次生木质部，树脂道是由最幼嫩的木质部部分细胞分化形成。

Under normal conditions Liquidambar formosana Hance does not form resin canals automatically during its secondary growth, but did after inflicted by mechanical or 2-chloroethane phosphonic acid injury.

Resin was synthesized by the active cells in the cambium zone including secondary xylem cells, cambium cells, secondary phloem cells and ray cells.
