In this article we will discuss about the origin and activities of vascular cambium in plants. Origin of Vascular Cambium: In stems the vascular cambium and the primary vascular tissues differentiate from procambium. Procambium develops from the derivative cells of apical meristem. Transverse sections of a growing vegetative shoot apex reveal the presence of a cylinder of cells that are [...]
Vascular cambium occurs in the stele. The cells of cambium remain surrounding the primary xylem in both stems and roots. The vascular cambium is one cell thick permanent secondary meristem. It is often described as cylindrical and develops between primary xylem and-phloem. It is present in stems and roots and in their branches. It extends from tips to the bases [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between vascular cambium and cork cambium. Difference # Vascular Cambium: 1. It is also referred to as cambium. 2. Procambium gives rise to cambium. 3. Cambium originates from meristemetic tissue and so it is customary to regard it as primary meristem. 4. Each cell of vascular cambium may be spindle shaped [...]
