  Cork cambium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cork cambium is a tissue found in woody plants as part of the periderm.
Cork cambium is one of the plant's meristems - the series of tissues consisting of embryonic (incompletely differentiated) cells from which the plant grows.
Synonyms for cork cambium are bark cambium, pericambium or phellogen.

 ninemsn Encarta - Print Preview - Tree
The constant divisions of the cambium gradually increase the circumference of the axis.
As the axis continues its expansion, the layers of cork frequently develop characteristic fissures at the surface, and as each cork cambium is split by the expansion of wood, a new cork cambium develops to replace it.
At maturity, the tree axis normally consists of several layers of cork cells, the outer part of which is fissured: the cork cambium, a few layers of crushed phloem, a few layers of functioning phloem, the cambium, and many layers of xylem.

 Vascular cambium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vascular cambium is a tissue found in the stems of perennial dicots.
The vascular cambium is a lateral meristem that develops as a hollow cylinder or as longitudinal strands, replacing the primary vascular tissues in dicotyledons and gymnosperms.
The vascular cambium is the source of both the growth of secondary xylem tissues (growth inwards) and secondary phloem tissues (growth outwards), and is hence located between these tissues in the stem.

 SECONDARY GROWTH   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The vascular cambium is wholly or partly the reactivation of an undifferentiated portion of the procambium found between the xylem and the phloem.
The cork cambium forms externally to the active phloem and produces layers of cork to the outside and layers of parenchymatous cells to the inside.
Unlike the vascular cambium, the cork cambium is not continuous nor is it the direct extension of an existing meristem.

 Nikon MicroscopyU: SMZ1500 Fluorescence Digital Image Gallery - cork cells
Cork (phellem) is a non-living, water-resistant, protective tissue that displaces the stem epidermis as the plant undergoes an increase in diameter during the secondary growth phase.
The increasing number of cork cells produced by the meristematic tissue of the cork cambium push the older, non-dividing phloem cells toward the outer margins of the stem where they are crushed causing them to eventually die and slough off.
Depending upon the species of woody plant, the cork cell may be filled with air or may contain traces of lignin, tannins, or fatty acids and may vary in thickness from one to the next.

A second type of lateral meristem, the cork cambium, develops from cells in the cortex close to the epidermis, usually in the first year of growth of a shoot.
As secondary growth continues, new, discontinous cork cambia (plural of cambium) arise to the inside of the original cork cambium.
The arrangement of successive cork cambia and the thickness of the cork give rise to the characteristics of mature bark we observe on older trees, whether they are thick or thin, scaly, in plates, or deeply ridged.

 Garden Terms: Definition of cork cambium
A lateral ring of meristematic tissue found in woody seed plants, producing cork on the outside of the ring and parenchyma on the inside of the ring.
In places the cork cambium generates loose and disorganized cells so that the outer cork has pores (lenticels) that allow for oxygen uptake by the stem.
In some trees the cork cambium forms a more or less continuous ring, leading to a smooth bark.

 Secondary growth in stems
As the vascular cambium adds cells to the secondary xylem and the core of the xylem increases in width the cambium is displaced outward.
As the vascular cambium moves outward the primary phloem is pushed outward and crushed.
Cork cells are dead at maturity and the inner walls are lined with suberin and wax, which makes impermeable to water.

The vascular cambium is meristematic; it is sometimes called a lateral meristem (not to be confused with lateral bud or lateral root).
Divisions of the cork cambium initials tangentially and radially allow the periderm to keep up with later years of expansion in the trunk caused by the activity of the vascular cambium and its derivatives.
The cork cambium over-produces cork in certain areas of the stem surface, this causes ridges and cracks to appear.

The original formation of cork cambium occurs within the cortex, although additional layers of cork cambium may develop later from cells within the secondary phloem.
The cells of the cork cambium divide, producing several layers of cork cells to its exterior.
The cork cambium may also produce a few layers of phelloderm to the inside.' The cork, cork cambium, and phelloderm are known collectively as the periderm, which is a secondary dermal tissue, replacing the epidermis in these stems.
