Vascular tissues in flowering plants develop from

  • Phellogen

  • Plerome

  • Periblem

  • Dermatogen


B.

Plerome

C.

Periblem

Histogen theory for shoot apical meristem has been proposed by Hanstein (1870). It advocates that there are three distinct meristematic zones (layers) called dermatogen periblem and plerome.

The dermatogen is the outermost histogen giving rise to the epidermis, periblem is the middle on producing the cortex and plerome is the innermost resulting in central cylinder (i.e., vascular tissue).

Cork cambium (phellogen) is the secondary lateral meristem found in the outer cortical region. Its cells divide periclinally cutting off cells towards the outside (forming cork or phellem) and inside (forming secondary cortex or Phelloderm).
