Electrical signalling along the phloem and its physiological responses in the maize leaf [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
To elucidate the role of electrical signalling in the phloem of maize the tips of attached leaves were stimulated by chilling and wounding. Two different signals were detected in the phloem at the middle of the leaf using the aphid stylet technique: (i ...

Phloem transport and drought [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Botany, 2014
Drought challenges plant water uptake and the vascular system. In the xylem it causes embolism that impairs water transport from the soil to the leaves and, if uncontrolled, may even lead to plant mortality via hydraulic failure. What happens in the phloem, however, is less clear because measuring phloem transport is still a significant challenge to ...

Scaling of xylem and phloem transport capacity and resource usage with tree size

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Xylem and phloem need to maintain steady transport rates of water and carbohydrates to match the exchange rates of these compounds at the leaves. A major proportion of the carbon and nitrogen assimilated by a tree is allocated to the construction and ...

Scaling phloem transport: information transmission [PDF]

open access: bronzePlant, Cell & Environment, 2004
ABSTRACTSieve tubes are primarily responsible for the movement of solutes over long distances, but they also conduct information about the osmotic state of the system. Using a previously developed dimensionless model of phloem transport, the mechanism behind the sieve tube's capacity to rapidly transmit pressure/concentration waves in response to local

Drought impacts on phloem transport

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Plant Biology, 2018
Drought impacts on phloem transport have attracted attention only recently, despite the well-established, and empirically verified theories on drought impacts on water transport in plants in general. This is because studying phloem transport is challenging. Phloem tissue is relatively small and delicate, and it has often been assumed not to be impacted

The effects of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide on shoot-root nitrogen and water signaling. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Terrestrial higher plants are composed of roots and shoots, distinct organs that conduct complementary functions in dissimilar environments. For example, roots are responsible for acquiring water and nutrients such as inorganic nitrogen from the soil ...
