Transcriptomic analysis of cork during seasonal growth highlights regulatory and developmental processes from phellogen to phellem formation [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The phellogen or cork cambium stem cells that divide periclinally and outwardly specify phellem or cork. Despite the vital importance of phellem in protecting the radially-growing plant organs and wounded tissues, practically only the suberin ...

Potato Periderm Development and Tuber Skin Quality [PDF]
Plants, 2022 The periderm is a corky tissue that replaces the epidermis when the latter is damaged, and is critical for preventing pathogen invasion and water loss. The periderm is formed through the meristematic activity of phellogen cells (cork cambium). The potato

Cork Development: What Lies Within [PDF]
Plants, 2022 The cork layer present in all dicotyledonous plant species with radial growth is the result of the phellogen activity, a secondary meristem that produces phellem (cork) to the outside and phelloderm inwards.
