Planes of cell division in procambium and adjacent ground meristem were quantitatively assessed in serial sections of vegetative apices.
Cyperus eragrostis, both mestome sheath (MS) and parenchymatous bundle sheath (PBS) are present; MS and vascular tissue are derived from procambium and PBS and mesophyll are derived from ground meristem.
Cyperaceae, the ontogenetic origin of PCR tissues from procambium in the position of inner border parenchyma may impose developmental and functional constraints and may be a consequence of evolutionary selection for PCR cells in a position that isolates them from intercellular space.
However, analysis of covariance of levels of procambium initiation and shoot apex stages demonstrated that only 0.1 per cent of the slight differences in levels of procambium initiation can be attributed to plastochronic phase differences and the resultant shoot apex volume differences.
Procambium is always formed in acropetal continuity with the procambium of older leaf traces.
A relationship between the diameter of the procambium at the level of pattern inception and the complexity of the vascular pattern was suggested.

Abstract: Procambium in the embryo of Pinus is recognized as consisting of two portions, the xyloic procambium and the phloic procambium.
The organization seen in the procambium is closely correlated with the structure of the primary vascular tissues to which the procambium gives rise.
The former are associated with the procambium of the hypocotyl and cotyledons, whereas the latter occur in the peripheral regions of the cortex of the hypocotyl and the mesophyll of the cotyledons.
We are focusing on the primary development (procambium) of the vascular tissue in the Arabidopsis root, since this is anatomically a very simple developmental model (Fig 1).
We have shown that the vascular tissue is established through a series of asymmetric cell divisions in the procambium.
The primary effect of the wol mutation is the lack of formative cell divisions required for organization of the vascular tissue in the procambium (Scheres et al.

Think: Trachea is tube-like and tracheophytes use tube-like structures for transport.Leucoplast — Plant organelle for starch storage.Lignin — A polymer that binds cellulose fibers strongly together to form wood.
Procambium — Part of the primary meristem that gives rise to the vascular tissue.
The primary meristem consists of: Protoderm — grows into dermal tissue Ground — grows into ground tissue Procambium — grows into vascular tissuePrimary Meristem — Primary new growth that results in lengthening of plant and organ formation.

The cells that eventually form the vascular cambium come from two sources, the procambium in the vascular bundles and the interfascicular parenchyma cells between vascular bundles.
The vascular cambium forms when the cells of interfascicular parenchyma dedifferentiate and divide periclinally, in a plane parallel to the surface of the stem.
The cells in the procambium divide in a similar fashion.
In the shoot meristerm, procambiumprocambium forms a cylinder of cells with ground meristem both to its interior, and to the exterior, of the procambium cylinder.
When there is secondary growth, there will be a layer of procambium retained between the primary xylem and primary phloem.
Vascular cambium produces secondary xylem to the interior of the cambium layer, and scondary pholem exterior to the cambium layer.
There is no procambium above the youngest primordium, and vascular tissues in developing leaves along and connect with mature vascular tissues of the stem.
Stems elongate in subapical regions in response to auxin and gibberellins.
Vascular tissue-As I mentioned before, there is no procambium above the youngest leaf primordium, and removing a plant's leaf primordia stops vascular differentiation.

The vascular bundles would be steel rods, and the ground tissues would be the concrete that fills the empty volume inside the mold.
The distribution of vascular bundles is controlled by the developing leaves and even the youngest primordia may have Procambium located immediately beneath it.

Since herbaceous plants usually live for only one season (annuals and biennials) and woody plants may live several seasons (perennials), young herbaceous plant may only contain primary xylem and phloem which was derived from the primary meristem (procambium).
Apical meristem (meristematic) forms three meristems (protoderm, ground meristem and procambium).
The procambium forms the primary xylem, primary phloem and the vascular cambium.
The vascular cambium is wholly or partly the reactivation of an undifferentiated portion of the procambium found between the xylem and the phloem.
Renewal of meristematic division in the procambium forms a sheet meristem between the xylem and phloem that continually adds to each by repeated division and by the maturation of the daughter cells so formed.
The resultant secondary xylem is commonly known as wood.
