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 ...

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 ...

Plants integrate a variety of biotic and abiotic factors for optimal growth in their given environment. While some of these responses are local, others occur distally. Hence, communication of signals ...

Grain cadmium (Cd) is translocated from source to sink tissues exclusively via phloem, though the phloem Cd unloading transporter has not been identified yet. Here, we isolated and functionally ...

School of Environmental and Life Sciences, The University of Newcastle, Callaghan, NSW, Australia In species performing apoplasmic loading, phloem cells adjacent to sieve elements often develop into ...

Various sucrose concentrations (1–100 mM), dissolved in BM, were administered to the bare-lying phloem tissue. Because the membrane potential measurements – in particular those of PPCs - are extremely ...

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 ...
