Coordination Between Phloem Loading and Structure Maintains Carbon Transport Under Drought
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Maintaining phloem transport under water stress is expected to be crucial to whole-plant drought tolerance, but the traits that benefit phloem function under drought are poorly understood.

OBERON3 and SUPPRESSOR OF MAX2 1-LIKE proteins form a regulatory module driving phloem development
Nature Communications, 2023 Spatial specificity of cell fate decisions is central for organismal development. The phloem tissue mediates long-distance transport of energy metabolites along plant bodies and is characterized by an exceptional degree of cellular specialization.

Investigating Nutrient Supply Effects on Plant Growth and Seed Nutrient Content in Common Bean
Plants, 2022 Low soil fertility commonly limits growth and yield production of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in tropical regions. Impacts of nutrient limitations on production volume are well studied and are a major factor in reducing crop yields.

Phloem wedges in Malpighiaceae: origin, structure, diversification, and systematic relevance
EvoDevo, 2022 Background Phloem wedges furrowing the wood are one of the most notorious, widespread types of cambial variants in Angiosperms. Many lianas in Malpighiaceae show these variations in the arrangement of the secondary tissues. Here we explore their ontogeny,

The evolution of minor vein phloem and phloem loading [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2001 Phylogenetic analysis provides a rational basis for comparative studies of phloem structure and phloem loading. Although several types of minor vein companion cell have been identified, and progress has been made in correlating structural features of these cells with loading mechanisms, little is known about the phylogenetic relationships of the ...

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2014 The phloem is the long-distance solute-conducting tissue of plants. The observation of phloem cells is particularly challenging for several reasons and many recent advances in microscopy are, therefore, especially beneficial for the study of phloem anatomy and physiology.
