Cell-by-cell dissection of phloem development links a maturation gradient to cell specialization. Science , 2021; 374 (6575) DOI: 10.1126/science.aba5531 Cite This Page : ...
Sieve elements are a key component of phloem, the conductive tissue through which plants transport carbohydrates and a wide range of signalling molecules. Elongated cylindrical cells are capped at ...
Control of choline transport essential in phloem A genetic screen identified the CHER1 gene, which encodes a choline transporter, as a crucial player in phloem development.
Control of choline transport essential in phloem A genetic screen identified the CHER1 gene, which encodes a choline transporter, as a crucial player in phloem development.
The group also showed how phloem development is staged over time, with early genetic programs inhibiting late genetic programs and vice versa – just as the road asphalt-laying work crews’ hand ...
Tomato development relies on intricate gene regulation, with one of the key genes, SlHAM4, emerging as a critical factor in ...
Development of Plant Vascular Tissues The vascular network consisting of phloem and xylem (wood) provides plants with structural support and long-distance transport that specifies further downstream ...
Previous research has shown that sieve elements play an important role in phloem, the conductive tissue through which plants transport carbohydrates and a wide range of signalling molecules ...
Helariutta said: “Broad maturation gradients interfacing with cell-type specific transcriptional regulators to stage cellular differentiation is required for phloem development.” “By combining ...
