Opbevaringsvæv
Opbevaringsvæv, also known as storage tissue, is a plant tissue type that serves the primary function of storing reserve materials such as starch, lipids, and proteins. This tissue is vital for the plant's survival, especially during periods of dormancy, unfavorable environmental conditions, or when rapid growth is required. It can be found in various plant parts, including roots, stems, seeds, and fruits.
The cells within storage tissue are typically parenchyma cells, which are characterized by thin cell walls
Common examples of plant organs rich in storage tissue include potato tubers (modified stems), carrot roots,
