	Storage organ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A storage organ is a part of a plant specifically modified for storage of energy (generally in the form of carbohydrates) or water.
		Storage organs often grow underground, where they are better protected from attack by herbivores.
		Storage organs used for food may be generically called root vegetables, although this phrase should not be taken to imply that the class only includes true roots.

	The Garden with Insight garden simulator v1.0: Plant Biomass Partitioning Model
		Storage organs can be dealt with in the model in the same way as roots.
		Storage organs can be in the roots (sweet potato), in tubers (potato), in the stem (kohlrabi), in axillary buds (Brussels sprouts), in leaf petioles (celery, onion), and in inflorescences (broccoli, cauliflower).
		The starting point of allocation to storage organs is affected by photoperiod in many crops, but the research on this is not plentiful and there are many exceptions.

		Storage protein is found ubiquitously in seeds as a major storage reserve of nitrogen and carbon along with either polysaccharides (usually starch) or lipid, never both in major quantities, as the second major reserve.
		Storage protein deposition: During seed development, massive (relatively speaking) amounts of specialized proteins are synthesized for use as a source of nitrogen, amino acids, and energy during seed germination and subsequent seedling establishment.
		The storage protein aggregates within the ER lumen and is moved to a peripheral terminus that then has various fates depending on the class of plant (Monocotyledones vs Dicotyledones).

		This storage method was found to be difficult to manage where seasonal variations in climate made it difficult to either limit or increase ventilation and, during a wet season, to ensure that the floor of the clamp remained dry.
		Although the traditional storage in yam barns is very popular in West Africa the yams are vulnerable to attack by rodents and other mammals and it is very tedious to have to tie each tuber individually to the framework.
		During the storage period the shutter on the ventilation opening is left open at night when ambient temperatures are lowest (13°-18°C in Cameroon) and closed during the day when temperatures are higher and relative humidities lower.

	Frequently Asked Questions: TransMedics, Inc.
		Even when an organ can be transplanted within the narrow time frame allotted for safe storage, the organ invariably suffers some degree of damage, which can contribute to sub-optimal outcomes.
		Because transplant organs are preserved in a "non-functioning" state during cold ischemic storage, during which they are extremely susceptible to damage, they cannot be further evaluated to determine the functional status.
		By pumping warm, oxygenated, nutrient-rich blood through the organ from the time of removal until it is implanted, the organ could potentially withstand longer periods of time outside of the body and be less vulnerable to damage during transportation to the recipient.

	Drosophila tissue and organ development: Oogenesis and the oocyte
		Both ovulation and sperm storage elicit important changes in gametes: in oocytes, ovulation can trigger changes in the egg envelopes and the resumption of meiosis; for sperm, storage is a step in their transition from being 'movers' to 'fertilizers'.
		Sperm storage can be viewed as a series of steps: progression of sperm through the female reproductive tract after mating, entry of sperm into the storage organs, retention and maintenance of stored sperm, and release of sperm from storage up to the point of fertilization.
		Sperm leave storage to two potential fates: one fate is to fertilize an ovulated egg, another is to leave storage but not to fertilize an egg either due to inefficient sperm use or to sperm displacement as a result of the female mating with another male (female sperm preference or sperm competition).

		Patterns of geophyte diversity and storage organ size in the winter-rainfall region of southern Africa
		In at least three species-rich genera (Moraea, Eriospermum and Oxalis), the size of storage organs (bulbs, corms, tubers) varies inversely, with the largest average values occurring in the species-poorer areas — both in the north-western, and in the south-eastern parts of the region.
		This negative correlation between average storage organ size and species diversity is, however, only observed at relatively large spatial scales, which suggests that there is no direct relationship between storage organ size and species diversity.
