Question
Vascular tissues in flowering plants develop from
Options
A.phellogen
B.plerome
C.periblem
D.dermatogen
Solution
Histogen theory for shoot apical meristem has been proposed by Hanstein (1870). It advocates that there are there distinct meristematic zones (layers) called dermatogen periblem and plerome. The dermatogen is the outermost histogen giving rise to epidermis, periblem is the middle one producin the cortex and plerome is the innermost resulting in central cylinder (ie, vascular tissue).
Cork cambium (phellogen) is the secondary lateral meristem found in outer cortical region. Its cells divide periclinally cuttin off cells towards the outside (forming cork or phellem) and inside (forming secondary cortrx or phelloderm).
