We discussed origins of high tensile growth stress, high drying shrinkage, and rapid increase of Young's modulus due to drying, in association with microscopic structure of gelatinous layer (G-layer). Anatomical, crystallographic, and micromechanical approaches were employed. As the result, it is cleared that G-layer structure as hydro-gel has a key to understand hygromechanical properties in the tension wood G-fiber. The origin of contractive force in maturing G-layer is still unknown, however, the structure and behavior of the swollen hydro-gel may give some key to solve it. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-00795925/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-00795925/file/Origins_abnormal_behaviors_Yamamoto_al.pdf %L hal-00795925 %U https://hal.science/hal-00795925 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ LMGC %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2 %~ UM-2015-2021
