Cork cells in cork oak periderms undergo programmed cell death and proanthocyanidin deposition [PDF]

Tree Physiology, 2021
AbstractVascular plants with secondary growth develop a periderm mostly composed of dead suberized cork cells to face environmental hostile conditions. Cork oak has a highly active and long-living phellogen forming a remarkably thick periderm that is periodically debarked for industrial purposes.
