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 ...

Interxylary phloem is here defined as strands or bands of phloem embedded within the secondary xylem of a stem or root of a plant that has a single vascular cambium. In this definition, interxylary ...

The Plant Cell, Vol. 11, No. 1 (Jan., 1999), pp. 127-140 (14 pages) Phloem-specific proteins (P proteins) are particularly useful markers to investigate long-distance trafficking of macromolecules in ...

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 ...

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 ...
