Figure 1: Passive phloem loading in plants and in the synthetic tree-on-a-chip. Using our synthetic passive loader, we study in this paper the full dynamics of passive phloem loading, set by the ...
Careful cutting of the hypocotyl of Ricinus communis L. seedlings led to the exudation of pure sieve-tube sap for 2—3 h. This offered the possibility of testing the phloem-loading system qualitatively ...
Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 47, No. 300 (JULY 1996), pp. 863-870 (8 pages) To investigate the factors governing the accumulation of sucrose and amino acids in the taproots of sugar beet, ...
Researchers monitored the progression of phloem production over time in field-grown HLB-affected citrus trees to determine how the trees are capable of sustaining new growth. Results showed that new ...
Transport in the xylem is a physical process. It does not require energy.
Transport in biology means carrying substance absorbed or made in the body of an organism to all other parts of its body. In plants, it is only water and minerals that need to be transported to its ...
These are distributed differently in roots and stems. In the root, the xylem forms a central column. It forms a solid support. The phloem is towards the centre, outside the xylem. Any green part of a ...
A rare fossil plant reveals how early plants moved water and food, helping to explain the secrets of tree growth.
