Naturally russeted and wound russeted skins of mango (cv. ‘Apple’) show no differences in anatomy, chemical composition or gene expression [PDF]
The mango cultivar ‘Apple’ is commercially important in Kenya but highly susceptible to russeting. Russeting refers to an area of fruit skin where the primary (epidermal) surface has been replaced by a secondary (peridermal) surface. The objective was to

Rhytidome- and cork-type barks of holm oak, cork oak and their hybrids highlight processes leading to cork formation [PDF]
Background The periderm is basic for land plants due to its protective role during radial growth, which is achieved by the polymers deposited in the cell walls.

Solving the regulation puzzle of periderm development using advances in fruit skin
Periderm protects enlarged organs of most dicots and gymnosperms as a barrier to water loss and disease invasion during their secondary growth. Its development undergoes a complex process with genetically controlled and environmental stress-induced ...

Periderm Fate during Palatogenesis: TGF-β and Periderm Dedifferentiation
Failure of palatogenesis results in cleft palate, one of the most common congenital disabilities in humans. During the final phases of palatogenesis, the protective function of the peridermal cell layer must be eliminated for the medial edge epithelia to adhere properly, which is a prerequisite for the successful fusion of the secondary palate ...

Anatomical features of the bark as a factor of resistance of fir species to infestation by the four-eyed fir bark beetle [PDF]
To elucidate the reasons for the differences Fir species (Abies. Mill.) damage by four-eyed fir bark beetle (Polygraphus proximus Blandford), we studied the structure of fir bark in sections Balsamea, Momi, Abies, Grandis from the collections of the ...

Silencing of StRIK in potato suggests a role in periderm related to RNA processing and stress
Background The periderm is a protective barrier crucial for land plant survival, but little is known about genetic factors involved in its development and regulation. Using a transcriptomic approach in the cork oak (Q.

Russeting of Fruits: Etiology and Management
The skin of a fruit protects the vulnerable, nutrient-rich flesh and seed(s) within from the hostile environment. It is also responsible for the fruit’s appearance.
