Thaumatin-like proteins are differentially expressed and localized in phloem tissues of hybrid poplar

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2010
Background Two thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) were previously identified in phloem exudate of hybrid poplar (Populus trichocarpa × P. deltoides) using proteomics methods, and their sieve element localization confirmed by immunofluorescence.

Does Don Fisher’s high-pressure manifold model account for phloem transport and resource partitioning?

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
The pressure flow model of phloem transport envisaged by Münch (1930) has gained wide acceptance. Recently, however, the model has been questioned on structural and physiological grounds.

Foliar Phenotypic Plasticity Reflects Adaptation to Environmental Variability

open access: yesPlants, 2023
Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes adapted to native habitats with different daylengths, temperatures, and precipitation were grown experimentally under seven combinations of light intensity and leaf temperature to assess their acclimatory phenotypic ...

Structure of Functional Soybean Sieve Elements [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 1975
Soybean (Glycine max cv. Bragg) petiolar tissue containing translocated (14)C-sucrose was quick frozen, freeze-substituted in acetone or propylene oxide and embedded in Epon. This procedure allowed cytological observations on sieve elements whose functional condition could be verified by microautoradiography.

Phytoplasma-Triggered Ca2+ Influx Is Involved in Sieve-Tube Blockage

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2013
Phytoplasmas are obligate, phloem-restricted phytopathogens that are disseminated by phloem-sap-sucking insects. Phytoplasma infection severely impairs assimilate translocation in host plants and might be responsible for massive changes in phloem ...

P-proteins in Arabidopsis are heteromeric structures involved in rapid sieve tube sealing

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Structural phloem proteins (P-proteins) are characteristic components of the sieve elements in all dicotyledonous and many monocotyledonous angiosperms.

Viral and cellular factors involved in phloem transport of plant viruses

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Phloem transport of plant viruses is an essential step in the setting-up of a complete infection of a host plant. After an initial replication step in the first cells, viruses spread from cell-to-cell through mesophyll cells, until they reach the ...

Interactions among tobacco sieve element occlusion (SEO) proteins [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Signaling & Behavior, 2012
Angiosperms 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-proteins. Following injury, P proteins disperse and accumulate as viscous plugs at the sieve plates to prevent ...

How phloem-feeding insects face the challenge of phloem-located defenses

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Due to the high content of nutrient, sieve tubes are a primary target for pests, e.g. most phytophagous hemipteran. To protect the integrity of the sieve tubes as well as their content, plants possess diverse chemical and physical defense mechanisms. The

Phloem development in nematode-induced feeding sites: The implications of auxin and cytokinin

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Sedentary plant parasitic nematodes such as root-knot nematodes and cyst nematodes induce giant cells or syncytia, respectively, in their host plant’s roots.
