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.

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 ...

Epigenetic Modifications Related to Potato Skin Russeting [PDF]
Plants, 2023 Potato tuber skin is a protective corky tissue consisting of suberized phellem cells. Smooth-skinned varieties are characterized by a clean, shiny appearance compared to the darker hue of russeted potatoes.

Priorities for Bark Anatomical Research: Study Venues and Open Questions [PDF]
Plants, 2023 The bark fulfils several essential functions in vascular plants and yields a wealth of raw materials, but the understanding of bark structure and function strongly lags behind our knowledge with respect to other plant tissues.

The first multi-tissue genome-scale metabolic model of a woody plant highlights suberin biosynthesis pathways in Quercus suber. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2023 Over the last decade, genome-scale metabolic models have been increasingly used to study plant metabolic behaviour at the tissue and multi-tissue level under different environmental conditions.

Formation of damage periderm in Markies and Challenger potato tubers under the influence of temperature [PDF]
Revista Ceres, 2023 The curing before storing the tubers is necessary for the formation of damage periderm, promoting greater post-harvest conservation. In which, the rate curing and the maintenance of the quality of the tubers depends on the temperature.
