Testing the Münch hypothesis of long distance phloem transport in plants
eLife, 2016 Long distance transport in plants occurs in sieve tubes of the phloem. The pressure flow hypothesis introduced by Ernst Münch in 1930 describes a mechanism of osmotically generated pressure differentials that are supposed to drive the movement of sugars ...

Brown planthopper (N. lugens Stal) feeding behaviour on rice germplasm as an indicator of resistance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: The brown planthopper (BPH) Nilaparvata lugens (Stal) is a serious pest of rice in Asia. Development of novel control strategies can be facilitated by comparison of BPH feeding behaviour on varieties exhibiting natural genetic variation, and ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT End‐of‐life conversations with adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer rarely occur without the guidance of healthcare professionals. As a part of the ‘Difficult Discussions’ study, focused on palliative care and advance care planning discussions with AYAs with cancer, we investigated the factors that healthcare professionals identify ...

SIEVE ELEMENTS IN THE FUCALES [PDF]
New Phytologist, 1983 SUMMARYMedullary filaments from the thalli of most of the British species of brown seaweeds belonging to the Fucales have been examined with both scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM). The end walls of each cell in the filament are in the form of a sieve plate.

To feed or not to feed: plant factors located in the epidermis, mesophyll, and sieve elements influence pea aphid's ability to feed on legume species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris), a legume specialist, encompasses at least 11 genetically distinct sympatric host races. Each host race shows a preference for a certain legume species.

SUT2, a Putative Sucrose Sensor in Sieve Elements [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2000 In leaves, sucrose uptake kinetics involve high- and low-affinity components. A family of low- and high-affinity sucrose transporters (SUT) was identified. SUT1 serves as a high-affinity transporter essential for phloem loading and long-distance transport in solanaceous species.
