  2. Cork cambium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_cambium

    Phellogen is defined as the meristematic cell layer responsible for the development of the periderm. Cells that grow inwards from there are termed phelloderm, and cells that develop outwards are termed phellem or cork (note similarity with vascular cambium). The periderm thus consists of three different layers: [1] [2]

  3. Pericycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericycle

    In dicot root, the vascular cambium is completely secondary in origin, and it originates from a portion of pericycle tissue. [ citation needed ] The pericycle regulates the formation of lateral roots by rapidly dividing near the xylem elements of the root.

  4. Dicotyledon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicotyledon

    Aside from cotyledon number, other broad differences have been noted between monocots and dicots, although these have proven to be differences primarily between monocots and eudicots. Many early-diverging dicot groups have monocot characteristics such as scattered vascular bundles, trimerous flowers, and non-tricolpate pollen. [5]

  5. Meristem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meristem

    In monocots, the tunica determines the physical characteristics of the leaf edge and margin. In dicots, layer two of the corpus determines the characteristics of the edge of the leaf. The corpus and tunica play a critical part of the plant physical appearance as all plant cells are formed from the meristems.

  6. Vascular cambium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_cambium

    Vascular cambia are found in all seed plants except for five angiosperm lineages which have independently lost it; Nymphaeales, Ceratophyllum, Nelumbo, Podostemaceae, and monocots. [1] In dicot and gymnosperm trees, the vascular cambium is the obvious line separating the bark and wood; they also have a cork cambium.

  7. Lenticel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenticel

    As stems and roots mature lenticel development continues in the new periderm (for example, periderm that forms at the bottom of cracks in the bark). [citation needed] Lenticels are found as raised circular, oval, or elongated areas on stems and roots. In woody plants, lenticels commonly appear as rough, cork-like structures on young branches.

  8. Cambium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambium

    Cork cambium viewed under a microscope. A cambium (pl.: cambiums or cambia), in plants, is a tissue layer that provides partially undifferentiated cells for plant growth. It is found in the area between xylem and phloem.

  9. Monocotyledon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocotyledon

    The monocots or monocotyledons have, as the name implies, a single (mono-) cotyledon, or embryonic leaf, in their seeds.Historically, this feature was used to contrast the monocots with the dicotyledons or dicots which typically have two cotyledons; however, modern research has shown that the dicots are not a natural group, and the term can only be used to indicate all angiosperms that are not ...
