Corm, bulbo-tuber, or bulbotuber is a short, vertical, swollen underground plant stem that serves as a storage organ that some plants use to survive winter or other ...
A representative CORM that has been extensively characterized both from a biochemical and pharmacological view point is the ruthenium(II) complex RuCl(CO) 3, known as CORM-3. Therapeutic data pertaining to metallic CORMs were reappraised to explore if observed effects are due to CO or if metal reactivity mediates physiological effects via thiol ...
A geophyte (earth+plant) is a plant with an underground storage organ including true bulbs, corms, tubers, tuberous roots, enlarged hypocotyls, and rhizomes. Most plants with underground stems are geophytes but not all plants that are geophytes have underground stems. Geophytes are often physiologically active even when they lack leaves.

Flax meal. Flax meal, or ground flaxseeds, mixed with water creates what is popularly known as a "flax egg." The seeds absorb the water and form a gel-like substance.
Corms are solid enlarged underground stems that store nutrients in their fleshy and solid stem tissue and are surrounded by papery leaves. Corms differ from bulbs in that their centers consists of solid tissue while bulbs consist of layered leaves. [24] Examples of plants that use corms are gladiolus and taro.
The presence of neurofibrillary tangles in the brain is one of the key hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. These irregular clumps of protein are closely associated with disease progression.
