Measurement of sap flow dynamics through the tomato peduncle using a non-invasive sensor based on the heat field deformation method [PDF]
, 2013 Recent contradicting evidence on the contributions of xylem and phloem to tomato fruit growth highlights the need for a more thorough insight into the dynamics of sap flow through the tomato peduncle. In fact, knowledge on sap flow dynamics through small

BRL1 and BRL3 are novel brassinosteroid receptors that function in vascular differentiation in Arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2004 Plant steroid hormones, brassinosteroids (BRs), are perceived by the plasma membrane-localized leucine-rich-repeat-receptor kinase BRI1. Based on sequence similarity, we have identified three members of the BRI1 family, named BRL1, BRL2 and BRL3.

RNA-Mediated Gene Silencing Signals Are Not Graft Transmissible from the Rootstock to the Scion in Greenhouse-Grown Apple Plants Malus sp. [PDF]
, 2012 RNA silencing describes the sequence specific degradation of RNA targets. Silencing is a non-cell autonomous event that is graft transmissible in different plant species.

Physiological characterization of drought stress response and expression of two transcription factors and two LEA genes in three Prunus genotypes [PDF]
, 2016 Global warming has led to a progressive decrease in rainfall, which is reflected by a reduction of water resources in the soil and a negative effect on crop production in Mediterranean areas.

PLoS 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.

Regulation and Identity of Florigen: Flowering Locus T Moves Center Stage [PDF]
, 2008 The transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is controlled by day length in many plant species. Day length is perceived in leaves and induces a systemic signal, called florigen, that moves through the phloem to the shoot apex.

Long-distance hormone transport via the phloem
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2023 Several key plant hormones are synthesised in the shoot and are advected within the phloem to the root tip. In the root tip, these hormones regulate growth and developmental processes, and responses to environmental cues. However, we lack understanding of how environmental factors and biological parameters affect the delivery of hormones to the root ...

Linking phloem function to structure: Analysis with a coupled xylem–phloem transport model [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2009 We carried out a theoretical analysis of phloem transport based on Münch hypothesis by developing a coupled xylem-phloem transport model. Results showed that the maximum sugar transport rate of the phloem was limited by solution viscosity and that transport requirements were strongly affected by prevailing xylem water potential.

Tree defence and bark beetles in a drying world: carbon partitioning, functioning and modelling. [PDF]
, 2020 Drought has promoted large-scale, insect-induced tree mortality in recent years, with severe consequences for ecosystem function, atmospheric processes, sustainable resources and global biogeochemical cycles.
