DOLFIN: Automated Finite Element Computing [PDF]
We describe here a library aimed at automating the solution of partial differential equations using the finite element method. By employing novel techniques for automated code generation, the library combines a high level of expressiveness with efficient

Does aphid salivation affect phloem sieve element occlusion in vivo? [PDF]
To protect against loss of photo-assimilate-rich phloem sap, plants have evolved several mechanisms to plug phloem sieve tubes in response to damage. In many Fabaceae, each sieve element contains a discrete proteinaceous body called a forisome, which, in

Filamentous sieve element proteins are able to limit phloem mass flow, but not phytoplasma spread. [PDF]
In Fabaceae, dispersion of forisomes—highly ordered aggregates of sieve element proteins—in response to phytoplasma infection was proposed to limit phloem mass flow and, hence, prevent pathogen spread.

Sieve Element Structure and Function [PDF]
The distribution of photosynthetically derived assimilates through plants occurs in specialized cells called sieve elements that are connected to each other forming a microfluidic system within the plant. Sieve elements were discovered over 150 years ago,

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.

Non-dispersive phloem-protein bodies (NPBs) of Populus trichocarpa consist of a SEOR protein and do not respond to cell wounding and Ca2+ [PDF]
Differentiating sieve elements in the phloem of angiosperms produce abundant phloem-specific proteins before their protein synthesis machinery is degraded.

Numerical Modeling of Thermal Behavior during Lunar Soil Drilling
This paper presents a detailed thermal simulation analysis of the drilling process for icy soil in the lunar polar region. The aim is to investigate the temperature changes that occur in the debris removal area during the drilling process. We developed a

Interactions among tobacco sieve element occlusion (SEO) proteins. [PDF]
S.1724-1726Angiosperms transport their photoassimilates through sieve tubes, which comprise longitudinally-connected sieve elements. In dicots and also some monocots, the sieve elements contain parietal structural proteins known as phloem proteins or P ...

Local auxin competition explains fragmented differentiation patterns
Sieve element differentiation in Arabidopsis roots requires two antagonistic regulators of auxin efflux, BRX and PAX. Here the authors show that together they coordinate sieve element formation by preventing cell fate bistability emerging from AUX1 ...
