Sugars produced from photosynthesis in leaves are transported through the phloem tissues within veins and delivered to non-photosynthetic organs, such as roots, stems, flowers, and seeds, to support their growth and/or storage of carbohydrates.

Identification of pathogenicity factors in the xylem-invading pathogen Xanthomonas albilineans by Transposon Mutagenesis [PDF]
Xanthomonas albilineans is a systemic, xylem-invading pathogen that causes sugarcane leaf scald. Leaf symptoms vary from a single, white, narrow, sharply defined stripe to complete wilting and necrosis of infected leaves, leading to plant death.

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Drought effects on photosynthesis and implications of photoassimilate distribution in 11C-labeled leaves in the African tropical tree species Maesopsis eminii Engl. [PDF]
Photoassimilate distribution inside leaves is less studied than photosynthesis, and yet the topic is important as it gives insights into the vital roles played by leaves in plant survival. We combined greenhouse measurements of light response curves with

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Wild rice (WR), a nutritious cereal rich in phytochemicals, remains underutilized despite its health benefits. This study explored deep purple (DP), purple sun hybrid (PSH), purple haze (PH), cosmic purple (CP), and vistaric sky blue (VSB) carrot powders as fortificants in WR noodles at 10%, 20%, and 30% levels in ...

Modeling the parameters for plasmodesmal sugar filtering in active symplasmic phloem loaders
Plasmodesmata (PD) play a key role in loading of sugars into the phloem. In plant species that employ the so-called active symplasmic loading strategy, sucrose that diffuses into their unique intermediary cells is converted into sugar oligomers ...

Phloem loading and plasmodesmata
Phloem loading, the active accumulation of photosynthate in minor veins, is thought to be the motivating force for translocation. Can loading take place along an entirely symplastic route, through the plasmodesmata, from mesophyll to phloem? Transport of small molecules through the plasmodesmata is apparently passive, and the concept of symplastic ...

A mutation in amino acid permease AAP6 reduces the amino acid content of the Arabidopsis sieve elements but leaves aphid herbivores unaffected [PDF]
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the amino acid permease gene AAP6 in regulating phloem amino acid composition and then to determine the effects of this altered diet on aphid performance.

ABSTRACT Lateral root (LR) organogenesis is regulated by cellular flux of auxin within pericycle cells, which depends on the membrane distribution and polar localization of auxin carrier proteins. The correct distribution of auxin carrier proteins relies on the intracellular trafficking of these proteins aided by filamentous actin as a track.

Plant responses to photoperiod [PDF]
Photoperiod controls many developmental responses in animals, plants and even fungi. The response to photoperiod has evolved because daylength is a reliable indicator of the time of year, enabling developmental events to be scheduled to coincide with ...
