A storage organ is a part of a plant specifically modified for storage of energy (generally in the form of carbohydrates) or water. [1] Storage organs often grow underground, where they are better protected from attack by herbivores .

贮藏组织是指植物的根、茎、种子中,常有大量贮藏营养物质的组织存在。 贮藏的物质有淀粉、蛋白质、糖类、油类等。 例如水稻、小麦等禾本科植物种子的胚乳细胞，甘薯块根、 马铃薯块茎 的 薄壁细胞 贮藏淀粉粒或糊粉粒，花生种子的子叶细胞贮藏油类。 [1] 碳水化合物 还可积累在厚的 初生细胞壁 中，如柿的 胚乳 细胞。 主要存在于各类贮藏器官，如 块根 、 块茎 、 球茎 、 鳞茎 、 果实 和 种子。 有的贮藏组织还可特化成为 贮水组织。 这种组织的活细胞中可以含有大量水 …

The specialized storage organs have several roles which allow them to perenniate and colonize. This short video will introduce some of the special organs that you are likely already familiar with (3:27).

2022年7月27日 · Characterize the differences between bulbs and other storage organs. Describe techniques for propagating plants with different clonal strategies from storage organs. Demonstrate other ways in which plants colonize through natural clonal propagation.

Explore food storage in plants & animals: roots, stems, leaves, liver, muscles, fat. Learn about storage organs, food types, and importance.

Many plant species produce fruits and seeds, whereas some plants develop belowground storage organs like tuber, storage root, corm, rhizome, bulbs, etc. These storage organs provide a dual benefit to the plants: a reservoir of energy, storage proteins and nutrients (mainly carbohydrate for energy source) and regeneration of new plants from ...

2022年6月20日 · A storage root is a specialized underground organ that undergoes modifications during its development to store nutrients. Many storage roots are used as food, and several that accumulate high levels of carbohydrates, such as sweet potato and cassava, are staple crops important for food security.

2025年1月13日 · The various types of plant storage and propagation organs we’ve discussed all play critical roles in agriculture, making them essential for both small-scale gardening and large-scale farming. These organs not only store nutrients and energy but also allow for efficient plant propagation, ensuring that crops like saffron, onions, ginger ...

This review summarizes some selected aspects of the phytochemistry, biochemistry, and ethnobotany of underground plant storage organs with emphasis on roots and tubers.

A storage organ is any part of a plant specifically modified for storage of energy (generally in the form of starch), nutrients or water in order to be used for future growth.
