Patatin-related phospholipases A (pPLAs) are a group of plant-specific acyl lipid hydrolases that share less homology with phospholipases than that observed in other organisms.

Soil Rather Than Xylem Vulnerability Controls Stomatal Response to Drought.
The current trend towards linking stomata regulation to plant hydraulics emphasizes the role of xylem vulnerability. Using a soil-plant hydraulic model, we show that xylem vulnerability does not trigger stomatal closure in medium-wet to dry soils and we ...

Boron deficiency responses in maize (Zea mays L.) roots
Abstract Background Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient for plants. Dicot plants respond to insufficient B supply by altering root architecture and root hair growth. How root systems of rather low‐B demanding monocot species such as maize (Zea mays L.) respond to B deficiency in terra has not been experimentally resolved, yet.

Although xylem embolism resistance is traditionally considered as static, we hypothesized that in grapevine (Vitis vinifera) leaf xylem becomes more embolism resistant along the growing season.

Comparative genomics reveals conservative evolution of the xylem transcriptome in vascular plants
Background Wood is a valuable natural resource and a major carbon sink. Wood formation is an important developmental process in vascular plants which played a crucial role in plant evolution.

Nitrate Transport and Distribution in Soybean Plants With Dual-Root Systems
Nitrate absorbed by soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) roots from the soil can promote plant growth, while nitrate transported to nodules inhibits nodulation and nodule nitrogen fixation activity.

A Phloem-Expressed PECTATE LYASE-LIKE Gene Promotes Cambium and Xylem Development
The plant vasculature plays essential roles in the transport of water and nutrients and is composed of xylem and phloem, both of which originate from undifferentiated cells found in the cambium.
