  2. Phloem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phloem

    Primary phloem is laid down by the apical meristem and develops from the procambium. Secondary phloem is laid down by the vascular cambium to the inside of the established layer(s) of phloem. The molecular control of phloem development from stem cell to mature sieve element is best understood for the primary root of the model plant Arabidopsis ...

  3. Vascular tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_tissue

    Cross section of celery stalk, showing vascular bundles, which include both phloem and xylem Detail of the vasculature of a bramble leaf Translocation in vascular plants. Vascular tissue is a complex conducting tissue, formed of more than one cell type, found in vascular plants. The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem ...

  4. Vascular cambium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_cambium

    The fascicular and interfascicular cambia thus join up to form a ring (in three dimensions, a tube) which separates the primary xylem and primary phloem, the cambium ring. The vascular cambium produces secondary xylem on the inside of the ring, and secondary phloem on the outside, pushing the primary xylem and phloem apart.

  5. Xylem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylem

    in secondary xylem, laid down by a meristem called the vascular cambium in woody plants as part of a stelar arrangement not divided into bundles, as in many ferns . In transitional stages of plants with secondary growth , the first two categories are not mutually exclusive, although usually a vascular bundle will contain primary xylem only.

  6. Meristem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meristem

    In vascular cambium, the primary phloem and xylem are produced by the apical meristem. After this initial development, secondary phloem and xylem are produced by the lateral meristem. The two are connected through a thin layer of parenchymal cells which are differentiated into the fascicular cambium.

  7. Plant stem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_stem

    The vascular cambium forms between the xylem and phloem in the vascular bundles and connects to form a continuous cylinder. The vascular cambium cells divide to produce secondary xylem to the inside and secondary phloem to the outside. As the stem increases in diameter due to production of secondary xylem and secondary phloem, the cortex and ...

  8. Cork cambium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_cambium

    It is one of the many layers of bark, between the cork and primary phloem. The cork cambium is a lateral meristem and is responsible for secondary growth that replaces the epidermis in roots and stems. It is found in woody and many herbaceous dicots, gymnosperms and some monocots (monocots usually lack secondary growth). It is one of the plant ...

  9. Root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root

    Secondary growth occurs at the lateral meristems, namely the vascular cambium and cork cambium. The former forms secondary xylem and secondary phloem, while the latter forms the periderm. In plants with secondary growth, the vascular cambium, originating between the xylem and the phloem, forms a cylinder of tissue along the stem and root.
