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 .

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).

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 …

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.

貯藏器官 是植物的其中一部分，專門用於儲存能量，它通常儲存 碳水化合物 為主，少數已水的形式來儲存。 [1] 儲存器官通常生長在地下，可以更好地保護它們免受 草食動物 的攻擊。 具有地下貯藏器官的植物在 勞恩凱爾植物生活型分類系統 中稱為“地下芽植物”。 [2][3] 儲存器官通常（但並非總是）充當使植物能夠在不利條件下（如寒冷、過熱、缺乏光照或乾旱）生存的器官。 一般來說，地下儲存器官通常可以稱為根，塊莖或鱗莖，但對植物學家來說，有更具體的技術術語： …

Many of these vegetables, such as cassava, potato, sweet potato, and taro, accumu late dry matter, usually starch, in the storage organ, making them important staple crops and sources of calories (Table 4) in the diets of many countries.

2024年3月31日 · Herbaceous terrestrial plants – both dicots and monocots – are classified as geophytes when they generate underground storage organs like bulbs, corms, tubers, and tuberous roots. These structures allow developing shoot buds to hibernate in order to avoid unfavorable seasonal conditions.

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.

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

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 ...
