The Importance of Phellogen Cells and their Structural Characteristics in Susceptibility and Resistance to Excoriation in Immature and Mature Potato Tuber (Solanum tuberosum L.) Periderm [PDF]
Potato tuber (Solanum tuberosum L.) periderm maturation is an important physiological process that directly affects the susceptibility and development of resistance to costly excoriation (skinning-type wounds) at harvest. The objectives of this research were to identify the specific types of cells and the cellular changes associated with susceptibility

Epigenetics at the crossroads of secondary growth regulation [PDF]
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]
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]
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 dynamic and diverse nature of parenchyma cells in the Arabidopsis root during secondary growth. [PDF]
During the process of secondary growth, the vascular cambium produces the conductive xylem and phloem cells, while the phellogen (cork cambium) deposit phellem (cork) as the outermost protective barrier.

Sites of First Phellogen Initiation in Conifers
Sites of first phellogen initiation were studied in ten species of Pinaceae and Cupressaceae. The distance from the apex, age and the tissue from which the first phellogen is initiated, were determined. In Pinaceae the first phellogen arises at a shorter distance from the apex than in Cupressaceae.

The annual rhythms of cambial and phellogen activity in Pinus halepensis and P pinea were investigated. Under natural conditions the cambium of P halepensis begins its activity in autumn, enters a quiescent period during midwinter, resurnes activity towards spring and enters a second rest period in summer.

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.
