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 ...

Expression analysis of DNA methyltransferase and co-repressor genes in
BMC Proceedings, 2011 Background Cork oak (Quercus suber) is one of the most important forest species in Portugal. Cork oak produces a thick cork bark which is harvested for industrial uses. Cork quality is the most important factor that affects its uses technical performance and economic value.

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.

Epigenetics at the crossroads of secondary growth regulation [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 The development of plant tissues and organs during post-embryonic growth occurs through the activity of both primary and secondary meristems. While primary meristems (root and shoot apical meristems) promote axial plant growth, secondary meristems ...

Differential DNA Methylation Patterns Are Related to Phellogen Origin and Quality of Quercus suber Cork. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 DNA methylation is thought to influence Quercus suber cork quality, which is the main constraint for its economic valorisation. However, a deep knowledge of the cytosine methylation patterns disclosing the epigenetic variability of trees with different ...
