Identifying phloem in a conifer stem cross-section requires careful observation and attention to several key characteristics. These features, when considered together, can help differentiate phloem ...

We have investigated the consequences of endogenous limitations in oxygen delivery for phloem transport in Ricinus communis. In situ oxygen profiles were measured directly across stems of plants ...

Numerous insects and pathogens extract nutrients from phloem tissue buried deep inside plants. These phloem-feeding insects and pathogens cause tremendous economic losses worldwide and represent some ...

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 ...

Tomato development relies on intricate gene regulation, with one of the key genes, SlHAM4, emerging as a critical factor in shoot and fruit growth. In groundbreaking research, mutations in SlHAM4 led ...

In vascular plants, long-distance transport of photoassimilates is driven by a pressure gradient within the phloem. It is a highly specialised tissue consisting of a network of living, tube-shaped ...

Plasmodesmata are plant-unique intercellular communication channels that acquired the capacity to dilate significantly to allow the trafficking of proteins and RNA within a symplasmic domain. This ...

The phloem moves food substances that the plant has produced by photosynthesis to where they are needed for processes such as: Transport of substances in the phloem is called translocation. Phloem ...
