Phloem RNA-binding proteins as potential components of the long-distance RNA transport system. [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) govern a myriad of different essential processes in eukaryotic cells. Recent evidence reveals that apart from playing critical roles in RNA metabolism and RNA transport, RBPs perform a key function in plant adaption to various

Intersection of transfer cells with phloem biology – broad evolutionary trends, function and induction

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Transfer cells (TCs) are ubiquitous throughout the plant kingdom. Their unique ingrowth wall labyrinths, supporting a plasma membrane enriched in transporter proteins, provides these cells with an enhanced membrane transport capacity for resources.

Identification of miRNA precursors in the phloem of Cucurbita maxima [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Plant development and responses to environmental cues largely depend on mobile signals including microRNAs (miRNAs) required for post-transcriptional silencing of specific genes.

Heavy Metals in Crop Plants: Transport and Redistribution Processes on the Whole Plant Level

open access: yesAgronomy, 2015
Copper, zinc, manganese, iron, nickel and molybdenum are essential micronutrients for plants. However, when present in excess they may damage the plant or decrease the quality of harvested plant products.

Defenses against Virus and Vector: A Phloem-Biological Perspective on RTM- and SLI1-Mediated Resistance to Potyviruses and Aphids

open access: yesViruses, 2020
Combining plant resistance against virus and vector presents an attractive approach to reduce virus transmission and virus proliferation in crops. Restricted Tobacco-etch virus Movement (RTM) genes confer resistance to potyviruses by limiting their long ...

Uptake and transport of antibiotic kasugamycin in castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) seedlings

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Kasugamycin (KSM), an aminoglycoside antibiotic, has been widely used for the management of plant diseases, especially for the control of rice blast in Asia. However, its uptake mechanism and transport in plants are still obscure.

Assessing Rates of Long-distance Carbon Transport in Arabidopsis by Collecting Phloem Exudations into EDTA Solutions after Photosynthetic Labeling with [14C]CO2

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2017
Phloem loading and transport of photoassimilate from photoautotrophic source leaves to heterotrophic sink organs are essential physiological processes that help the disparate organs of a plant function as a single, unified organism.

OBERON3 and SUPPRESSOR OF MAX2 1-LIKE proteins form a regulatory module driving phloem development

open access: yesNature 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.

On the Efficacy of Water Transport in Leaves. A Coupled Xylem-Phloem Model of Water and Solute Transport

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
In this paper, we present and use a coupled xylem/phloem mathematical model of passive water and solute transport through a reticulated vascular system of an angiosperm leaf.

Radiosynthesis of 6'-Deoxy-6'[18F]Fluorosucrose via Automated Synthesis and Its Utility to Study In Vivo Sucrose Transport in Maize (Zea mays) Leaves.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
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.
