Quantitative Anatomical Characteristics of Virgin Cork in <i>Quercus variabilis</i> Grown in Korea

The quantitative anatomical characteristics of <i>Quercus variabilis</i> virgin cork grown in Korea were observed by scanning electron microscopy and compared with <i>Quercus suber</i> reproduction cork from Portugal to obtain basic data for further utilization of domestic co...

description The quantitative anatomical characteristics of <i>Quercus variabilis</i> virgin cork grown in Korea were observed by scanning electron microscopy and compared with <i>Quercus suber</i> reproduction cork from Portugal to obtain basic data for further utilization of domestic cork resources in Korean cork industries. <i>Q. variabilis</i> virgin cork showed a smaller growth ring width and higher latecork percentage than <i>Q. suber</i> reproduction cork. <i>Q. variabilis</i> showed a smaller proportion of cork cells and a higher proportion of lenticular channels than <i>Q. suber</i>, whereas sclereid and dark-brown zones were found only in <i>Q. variabilis.</i> The frequency of pentagonal cork cells in the transverse and radial sections was higher in the cork of <i>Q. suber</i> than in <i>Q. variabilis.</i> In the tangential section, <i>Q. variabilis</i> displayed a lower frequency of heptagonal cells and a higher frequency of pentagonal cells than <i>Q. suber.</i><i>Q. variabilis</i> cork had a smaller cell width, lumen diameter, cell wall thickness, prism base edge and area, total cell volume, and solid volume of the cell wall than <i>Q. suber cork.</i> The fractional solid volume and number of cells per cm<sup>3</sup> were higher in <i>Q. variabilis</i> than <i>Q. suber</i>.
