The commenter continued that as time passes, the xylem and phloem (vascular tissues in plants that transport water, nutrients, and food throughout the plant) expand with the width of the tree ...

Specialised plant cells include root hair cells, palisade cells, xylem cells and phloem cells. Just like animals, plants are made of tiny little cells. Like animal cells, basic plant cells have a ...

How does water move through plants to get to the top of tall ... Refilling embolized xylem conduits: Is it a matter of phloem unloading? Plant Science 180, 604-611 (2011). Sack, L.

The vascular network consisting of phloem and xylem (wood) provides plants with structural support and long-distance transport that specifies further downstream processes in the sink tissues (such as ...

We study genes that contribute to cell division activity in vascular cambium, the meristem between xylem (wood) and phloem. Understanding the regulation of the cambium activity enhancing factors might ...

tremuloides) improves growth rate and biomass. In addition, these transgenic trees have more numerous and longer xylem fibers than unmodified wild-type (wt) plants. Long fibers are desirable in ...
