Vascular plants rely on differences in osmotic pressure to export sugars from regions of synthesis (mature leaves) to sugar sinks (roots, fruits). In this process, known as Münch pressure flow, the ...
A tiny region at the root tip has been found to be responsible for orchestrating the growth and development of the complex network of vascular tissues that transport sugars through plant roots. A tiny ...
Phloem diseases, including the economically devastating citrus greening, are particularly difficult to study because phloem cells -- essential for plant nutrient transport -- are difficult to access ...
One goes up... and one goes down. I was a college freshman in Botany 101 when I first learned about xylem and phloem, the two transport tissues which carry water and nutrients up and down a tree's ...
Anyone who’s peeled a banana has certainly encountered this unpleasantness. But what do we even know about these things? If the term “phloem” sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because you were ...
