| This involves accelerated phellogen activity, elongation of cork cells, dissolution of cell walls, and cell proliferation. |
| Although only the suberized phellem tissue is obtained whereas the phellogen and phelloderm are digested during the enzymatic treatment, we use the term periderm instead of phellem following a number of prior authors. |
| The cork cambium, or phellogen, produces the protective outer layers of the bark. |
| In woody plants, the phellogen, or cork cambium, arises in any of the three tissue systems near the surface of the plant body. |
